But we’re not taking about a 80-year gap here (“blaming modern Germans”); we’re talking about people who are in the global top 5% of income and prestige choosing _today_ to contribute to these organizations.

If you believe that your labor is worth something — which I’m pretty sure this crowd does — by working for a given firm, you’re voting with the value of your time in support of what your employer does.

Which, to be clear, is 100% your choice! I’m not going to accuse anyone of being a “bad person” because they decide that stable, high-paying employment is more important than taking a particular ethical (or political) stand at work.

But it _is_ a choice that you make every day by showing up for work.

In my view this is even more relevant for tech workers who receive equity. If you’re a shareholder in addition to being an employee, you’re now voting _twice_ in favor of what management is doing, and benefitting directly from both pay and ownership.

fair point, and i do agree with you. i guess ive seen too many politicians recently with agenda's doing the moral high ground thing and im beginning to see that sort of conduct everywhere. thanks for your reasoned comment. it seems to be a growing problem or maybe im just more aware of it
