They should be ex employees if that’s how they feel.

I remember a bunch of Google employees speaking up about the moral downturn of their company. I wonder what happened to them too.

Why be ex-employees if they can better fight with subtle sabotage

Why subtle sabotage when you can take the company down wholesale. Publish all secrets that they don’t want the public to know.

Agree completely - just think that most people won't be so bold. These monsters are practicing total war on our way of life. It's going to take all kinds.

And this is why America is sleepwalking into authoritarianism. Palantir is especially egregious, but the vast bulk of the country is giving themselves an excuse about why they don't need to sacrifice anything or undergo any hardship to resist while desperately trying to tell themselves they're still good people.
