Jesus Christ. Listen to yourself. “The only thing keeping someone alive” means the alternative is death. Do not fucking tell people that they have no excuse not to fight back when fighting back kills them.
We’re talking about employers being dirtbags here. This cause is not worth dying on the streets because you can’t hold down a job. You serve your species better by tolerating minor transgressions so you can more meaningfully fight against the larger ones. Any individual donating $5 to charity is helping mankind infinitely more than you will if you intentionally bomb every job interview to the point where you have to survive on said charity.
Do you maybe want to try and converse? Instead of leaving a vague response hinting at a deeper perspective, how about you actually share that perspective? Who else do we have to fear at present, and how do you reckon rendering a file on your computer irrecoverable would protect you from them?
By my reckoning, if you live under a government that would arrest you for excercizing speech, you’re well beyond fucked by the time they seize your computer

Sure. I’ll be a good little subservient peon, in my warm house with my food, and you can starve outside in the cold because you made yourself unhirable in protest against a system you would literally rather die than engage with
Destroying the data on your hard drive only helps you if you think that files stored on it could incriminate you in court. ICE isn’t sending your laptop in to a special forensics technician at DHS HQ to pull the 1s and 0s off of it to generate a justification for abducting and/or shooting you. Standard end to end encryption is plenty enough for online communications

To be clear, that “mentality” is not wanting to die starving on the streets

Because it makes a prospective employee look petulant and disagreeable

If licking boots is the only thing keeping someone alive, maybe don’t berate them for licking boots. It must be really nice living rent free in your mom’s house but many of us have to choose between having jobs or being homeless

I don’t think they’re shitting on anyone, just acknowledging that this is a very good way to not get a job

Matthew 5 is generally a good way to live your life imo. Unfortunately in my experience American Christians are more than willing to say Jesus was wrong when he said stuff like “give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.” Like he did not stutter, but American Christians would rather burn in hell than give away their material possessions
Feels like it’s easier to just not have anything on your hard drive that’s worth that much effort. I can only think of one type of file that would justify that level of obfuscation in most of the world, and I actually fully support owners of those files turning their PCs over to the police unmolested, so to speak
Their fault for torrenting without a VPN
Skyrim modders when a rape victim doesn’t want to have sex with them
In case anyone is wondering, there isn’t actually a line like that in the movie. Apparently it does perpetuate the myth that he was short, but there’s never an explicit spoken reference to his height
Sure thing bud. You definitely didn’t lick any boots on your way to success lmao
