almost every group that we conceptualize as a big evil organization that is ruining our lives is in actuality a patchwork of smaller organizations, at war with itself. there are people trying to do the right thing, and the wrong thing. this is particularly true of corporations, since *most* people are employed by corporations.

there is a temptation to simply "fight the evil organization", and there are definitely times that you need to do that. but those fights are always short-term. most fights, and _all_ of the long-term fights, are fights to change the rules that the organization operates under so that the good factions _within_ the organization can wrest control from the sociopaths who are just gaming the system for their own benefit
