I think it is absolutely essential for tech people to realize that working for EvilCorp is, in fact, evil. And there is no redemption from that by doing a little bit of "activism" or contributing a handful of lines to an "open source" project on the weekend. Stop this form of tech greenwashing.

If you give your full working power to EvilCorp, you are *absolutely responsible* for what is going on and you deserve to be called out on that. Quit your job or nothing will ever change. Your choice.

@resist_berlin at the same time, there are degrees of evil. And everyone's got to eat.

But if you're successfully building ye olde Big Data Analytics To Find And Destroy Nonconformists, you should probably try to swap it for work on a less evil, or less competent, project.
