I think the number is a lot higher and the barrier of trust a lot lower than people think.

If you come across a vehicle accident and you are able to help someone generally people don’t even think and just take action to save another persons life.

In reactionary scenarios where direct intervention saves someone’s life, people help a lot more than you’d think.

As a species we generally have a bypass in our brains that makes us want to help others in desperate need.

People on Lemmy (and the tech community) also skew heavily to tech industries so I’m not surprised they are shocked and disagree that saying you work for Microsoft is a bad thing.

Yes, yes, yes, no.

If your point is that I engage in immoral practices; of course I do.

That wasn’t my initial argument though.

As I have said in another comment, if I worked for Microsoft I wouldn’t wear a shirt complaining about my work killing people in a foreign country because I would realise that makes me a hypocrite.

In the same way I wouldn’t be vegan, work for an abattoir and complain to my CEO that killing animals is wrong.

Is the fact that you’re so defensive over my comment not an indication for you to do a little introspection?

You can’t claim the moral high ground if you’re enabling the very thing you’re complaining about.

I don’t comprehend why people find this controversial other than that they may be uncomfortable with their own choices and dislike when some random on the internet has pointed it out to them.

If I worked for Microsoft I wouldn’t wear a shirt complaining about my work being used to kill kids because I would have the presence of mind to realise that I would be a hypocrite if I did that.

I took the hit to my overall earnings by not working for a corporation that kills the planet/tramples on workers rights/engages in war crimes.

Have you?

Imagine thinking you have any moral high ground but work for a massive corporation.

What kind of diversity of thought are you looking for?

Could you give an example?

Is there an intellectually honest point of view that Donald Trump isn’t a fascist?

There are only two tried and true methods I am aware of to stop fascists:

1. Killing them
2. Making them kill themselves

I’m going to enjoy seeing this comment get removed. I’ll think about it as I’m put on the train to the death camp.

The Supreme Court currently has a majority of batshit insane constitutional originalists.

They are most definitely capable of doing this.

They just have to divine some batshit insane constitutionally originalist argument that justifies it.

Night of broken glass comes first.

Wait for them to loot and pillage “immigrant” owned businesses.

This won’t embolden white supremacists at all…

Mark Zuckerberg is a whiny piss baby.

Well don’t leave us hanging, what was the headset?

And what exactly have leftists become and what do they hate?

What’s next for that absolute cesspool?

Looking forward to the next pandemic where vaccines aren’t even developed because the Facebook rabble demands politicians provide us all with crystals and horoscopes instead.

Saying that literal Nazis deserve to be killed.

Feels bitter that justice never seems to come for the rich and powerful though.

Yuck not Sam Hyde. He is not a good person.
