@xinit @Roelmaalderink @bitsoffreedom I think comparing meta workers to forces who threaten and bully people, exert phyisical violence, take people from their homes and deport them is a bit of hyperbole but sure.
Reality sits somewhere in between, that being said, try to find a job in tech that doesn't somehow contribute to technofascism. Its hard.
And no, there isn't enough space for everyone in tech to just start teaching or something like that.

@Heidentweet @grayrattus @Roelmaalderink @bitsoffreedom people who come in with backpacks through the front door at companies at these scales are generally not managers.

@Roelmaalderink @bitsoffreedom I am not sure harassing the bottom line of a mega corporation with people who are just trying to make a living really surmounts to anything.
Its like going to the clothes spinners in Bangladesh for the things H&M or Primark are doing.
