I see, so the Meta employees have the typical conservative mindset: any misdeed is perfectly fine as long as it doesn’t affect you personally.
That’s what I thought - it’s probably not just the employees of social media companies who feel this way, but also those at Palantir and similar. Not to mention the "defense" contractors and the like.
I really wonder how these people can still look at themselves in the mirror.
I knew a guy who went to work for palantir a bunch of years ago. Was always friendly at work. I asked him "but what're you going to do if they do bad stuff, like spying on people?"
He just shrugged. Didn't care. The money was good.
I don't know if this alone is proof that's a bad person, but I think it precludes him from being a good one.
Why does the military advertise the most towards the poor?
