@theorangetheme@en.osm.town personally, I appreciate such folks' inner turmoil because they are my friends or indeed sometimes me, but you needn't do that in order to appreciate this insight. the point is not to *coddle* the good people who are trapped by these structures on the inside, the point is to *free* those people to make the organizations *do good on the outside*

@glyph@mastodon.social @theorangetheme@en.osm.town it’s not the job of the public to make Microsoft do better and those employees are free to leave.

@theorangetheme@en.osm.town there's a meeting where someone proposes building an orphan-crushing machine. in that meeting, there's going to be a guy who, for personal reasons, doesn't want to build an orphan-crushing machine. however, "I don't like this" is not a valid argument to motivate corporate behavior, so he must couch his objections in terms that are legible to the power structure. "I think that orphan-crushing has negative brand value" he will say. "we should build the school lunch machine instead"
