mcsweeneys.net/…/i-work-for-an-evil-company-but-o… This article is a fun read. The system only works because millions of cogs step in line and allow the machinery of that system to work. I have been part of a larger evil system. Because where I grew up that’s what everyone did, you went into the industry propping up the local economy (oil and gas). As I grew older I learned of the evils of fossil fuels, about climate change, and no longer work in oil and gas. I have no intention of ever doing so again. So you could quite rightfully call me a bastard. But I left and will never be returning, does that absolve me of the bastard title? I don’t know. But while you’re actively part of the machinery you’re definitely a bastard. Especially if you’re the part of the machinery that is systemically racist and assaults and restrains people on a daily basis.
