    If being a professional means providing no resistance while building the machinery of fascism, are you proud of that? Standing by your principles is not free, I get that. Pretending you care about said principles while actively spending your productive time working against those principles is not the kind of thing I’d be bragging about in an online leftist community though. Real “just following orders” energy

      You assume there are no other ways to fight fascism than to jeopardize one’s ability to pay the bills.

      As it happens, I’m quite senior at my company, and I think I’ve pretty much convinced sales to drop this customer, should they ever order anything else, on the grounds that they’re quite toxic and we really don’t want to be associated with them.

      So there ya go: I still have my job and they most likely lost a supplier.

      Brother, you don’t even know the nature of the deal his employer has with Flock. For all you know Flock just bought some gravel from him for a driveway, calm down. People got bills to pay, and you can’t fight fascism on an empty stomach.

      Lemmy World isn’t really a “leftist” community. It’s left-leaning, if you’re being generous.
