Honestly it doesn’t matter if you make 300k a year at Meta or $12 an hour at Walmart

It absolutely does. If you can make 300K at Meta you can make 250K someplace else. Missing out on those extra 50K is nowhere near an existential threat to you.

If you make 12$/h at Walmart i am not blaming you for taking what you can and making a living of it. If you work for a Meta subcontractor in Kenya doing 300$ a month i am not blaming you.

But if you choose to work for an objectively evil company while you have other options (which you definitely have if EvilCorp is even considering your resume), and you make that choice just to maximize your discretionary spending... then you can't play the solidarity card.
