Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero?
Maeve@kbin.earth 5 hours agoI'm going to disagree a little bit. Even if you work for a small private company, you're still complicit. Create or make some niche product and sell IRL/online, you're still complicit. Using the device I'm on, I'm complicit. The only way to not be any kind of complicit is to never be born. And we don't get a say. If we had survival skills, we may manage to stay offgrid, hunt, fish, steal for subsistence until we die or go to prison, then complicit again.
It's a matter of degrees, and I maintain we don't all at once sell our souls in one grand bargain, signed on our own blood. It's more of being, if you'll excuse the analogy, being born a sinner with the only absolution, especially for those without means, is to simply die. And survival instinct is strong.
