    Nah, its more that if i had a way to impact the system, id do so in a heartbeat even if it meant my death so that others could benefit. Hence, I expect the same of the people that have been through what ive been through. The customer and the employee have the privileged position because they evidently dont know that hardship or dont care. How you work at mcdonalds and dont understand that rich people are evil is beyond me, so for the employee im leaning more towards doesnt care. Which, again, due to experiancing the trauma of living in the US and not being wealthy, means that he is the definition of a class traitor and is on the level of the CEOs. He saw an opportunity to get his, fuck everyone else.

      I fully agree. I’d be the first to defend the rat as a victim of the system, but fucking hell he didn’t risk losing his job or death by just looking the other way, doing what you need to do to survive isn’t an excuse to outright aid the bastards and that same logic definitely extends to xitter employees etc. who’d have every other tech company fight for them if they left.

      I’m starting to think The Matrix had the right idea. Until someone is “awake” they can easily turn into an agent of the system, a dedicated defender of it, and as such we can’t think of them as friends.
