They probably don't care as long as they get paid so they can live and survive in this boring dystopia

morality comes second to survival

IDK, there are lots of other jobs than at Facebook. They pay really well though.

I have a personal rule to never work at a company I morally disagree with, and it has worked well so far. I don't like any of the companies I've worked for, but they solve real problems and don't abuse users too much.

okay but is it really surviving if you can't afford a yacht though? you should be able to purge a few ethnic minorities for a yacht, right? at least if you dont really mean it, about the killing?

and if you do something horrible, you still deserve to swing, because morality (the smart kind at least) doesn't come from magical Fucking fairy dust, it is survival.

Facebook has caused genocides. a comparison to an as camp guard who's drunk to within an ounce of blackout for every shift isnt so uunreasonable, and he still deserves to swing, unless he's helping people escape.

"Just following orders" didn't stick in 1945, it sure as hell doesn't stick today.
