Well yeah if we're applying that to atrocities and murder it wouldn't be a valid argument. But these are workers that don't have a union that are sometimes living paycheck to paycheck. They're just trying to not be homeless.
I don't work at YouTube but speaking as a tired, underpaid dev who works for a company he hates, I am just trying to get by. I don't even have PTO right now. I do plan to form a union in my area though.
I've worked a number of tech jobs and quit all of the ones that involved me directly contributing to or outright directly performing an immoral act.
I have no respect... pity, sure, but no respect for anyone that knowingly contributes to making the world worse for other people.
You are trying to form a union, that is commendable, an actual step toward positive change.
Most people?
They knowingly contribute to systems that make the vast majority of people worse off, and then bitch about other people doing the same thing in another field.
Or they don't know or care about any harm their work causes, but still bitch about everyone else doing the same thing.
First, do no harm is apparently too difficult to apply to one's own life.
If we all keep acting as cogs in the machine that makes everything worse... everything will obviously get worse.
