So, his conscience bothers him enough to post anonymously on 4chan...but not enough to find a new job? Either a) this is disinformation, or, b) this is an example of everything that's wrong with America, and people essentially looking away while bad stuff happens. If this statement is true, what is actionable, especially since it's posted on 4chan? What does this person hope to accomplish?
I was in tech years ago (software engineer), and left in 2015. It was more the case at that time that many of us knew it was either keep our heads down or lose the ability to provide for our families. If you were ousted from any job in the area for the wrong reason - nobody would want to touch you. So it was either continue on in a mental prison or potentially give up on your career.
The mistake many of us made was in thinking we could lay low and not get involved. The truth is that eventually you will be given the option - sign the deal with the devil or be cast out. It doesn't matter how unimportant or small you believe your role is. That's when I left.
I can't say if this particular claim is true or not, but I did see this same scenario play out thousands of times and found myself in it as well. I was naive and didn't really track politics back then, but it'll come for you regardless of your desire to stay out of it.
You are on target. This is exactly how it was. Many of us managed to move into other ways to make a living, but it is not something you can do instantly. This whole "IT" thing is such corrupted bullshit.
