I''m not saying it's black&white.
I'm saying that we all are forced to participate in some way because we need to feed our kids (or we need to "not die"), and the ones who leave tech because of that are not many, and they abandon the ship for something different, therefore they let the remaining people with the existing system. It's similar to the people who don't vote because they dislike the system. It's maintaining a statu quo.

@mnapoli@phpc.social @heiglandreas@phpc.social @asgrim@phpc.social @DaveLiddament@phpc.social @m1ke@phpc.social I gotta feed my kids, I have a family that has handicap, neuro-divergency, my wife can't really work, I'm the only money-earning person under my roof, so it's either "participating and hating it" or changing job, and changing job puts us in more problems because no job will earn as much as what we get as engineers. I made a choice 15+ years ago to join tech, and back then I never thought I'd be alienated to this point. It's a false choice.
