I'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.

Anon has done heroic things and horrific things. Exposing scientologist embedment everywhere and their cruelty, for example. Again, USA shrugged.

We're all humans, though. What irritates one in another may be a quality that irritates us about ourselves, that we don't see.

- Comment on 'Leaving MAGA' Billboards Urge Pennsylvanians to Leave America First Movement 4 months ago:
Logis said in August 2024 he thought that then-Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris and running mate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) would provide the change he was looking for.
“Americans are starved for hope and the Harris-Walz ticket is providing that,” Logis said.
Despite making headlines, the billboards are not very effective, some Republican strategists say.
Charlie Gerow, a GOP strategist, said, “These types of political billboards pop up all over the place all the time… the good news is it simply isn’t working because Trump voters have swelled Republican ranks in recent days.” - Comment on Turns Out They Didn’t Really Want You To Bring Your Whole Self To Work 4 months ago:
This is bullshit. They've always been greedy, taking as . much as they can for themselves while seeing labor as disposable lives.

USbillionaire class - Comment on Iran gas explosions kill five people, officials say 4 months ago:
Five people have been killed in two separate explosions in Iran which local officials and state media say were caused by gas leaks.
One person was killed and 14 injured in a blast at a residential building in the southern city of Bandar Abbas on the Gulf coast, a local official told Iran's semi-official Mehr news agency.
Another explosion killed four people in the south-western city of Ahvaz, the state-run Tehran Times reported.
It comes as tensions persist in the region after a build-up of US forces in the Gulf and pressure that Tehran strike a deal on its nuclear programme from President Donald Trump - who said on Saturday that Iran was "talking to" Washington.The media is complicit. We did this.
- Comment on Vimeo Lays Off 'Most' of Its Staff, Allegedly Includes 'the Entire Video Team' 4 months ago:
All the more reason to outlaw and ruthlessly discourage any attempts to do it again, regardless of how innocuous an actor tries to sell it. The billionaires didn't implement their policies in one fell blow, they are centuries patient and cunning. Like the serpent didn't actually lie, it just failed to tell the entire truth, and/or didn't grasp all the unforseen (latent) possibilities and their implications, leading the first self-aware astray. That's not entirely bad, a long, winding path of learning painfully can yield invaluable lessons, the "badness" is in allowing whitewashing and revisionist history, which should have the head crushed under the heel, figuratively speaking.

If we in the West ever manage to extricate ourselves from intentionally convoluted laws that allowed these entities to come into being, I hope businesses with any vague hint of appearance resembling these perfidious demons from the ninth circle of hell are bound like wicked watchers and cast into crevices under rocks above lava.
