fortunately, I could retire today if I wanted to

"I enjoy great comfort and privilege."

I got here–in part–by building parts of the platforms that harm us

"I have relevant expertise and understand how these systems work"

I’m fortunate enough to be able to afford these ridiculous prices

"Remember, I have money and I'm gonna be fine whatever happens to everyone else"

as a tech worker, I immediately log out at the end of my workday and shut everything down.

I think I'm basically done

"I'm too fucking cowardly to use my knowhow to fight back because that might jeopardize my relative comfort."

Go fuck yourself, really.
