Considering the doomsday bunker fad that’s popular in techbro and executive circles currently, such honesty might not count against you.

That's true only if you're a member of that same circle.

Those who are rich are allowed to "see behind the curtain" and talk about things as they really are.

As a member of the working class you are supposed to be naive, obedient and docile. Showing that you see through the lie is intolerable.

Of course, the irony is that your interviewing manager is very likely also not a member of the elite. They are a working class person just like you, playing their scripted part in the same corporate fantasy.
