There are also people staying to try to unionize or sabotage the company. Don't bundle them with the scabs. Quitting won't change much within meta.

I organize tech workers. The expectation that they are going to fight an uphill battle inhibits a lot of them and often it's not the scenario they are faced with. Tech workers being skeptical of the possibility of unionizing their workplace is a mind virus that needs to be eradicated for anything to happen. If then they find hostility, there are endless means to win over their colleagues, but if you discourage them before even starting, nothing will ever change.
If people stopped repeating this stuff, it would help

yes. That's how Mussolini and Hitler got into power.
What's happening is wildly inconstitutional and violent in nature. It's just not military violence for a military coup. Not all coups involve the military, that, if anything, here might be a stabilizing force.
After the USAID thing I called it this morning: Before the end of march the U.S. is a dictatorship in all but name.
You're optimistic. Yarvinists are openly advocating for dictatorship.
USAID was a probing attack, gauge the reactions, develop plans, figure out how to do it better with the next department. You don’t start with Homeland Security, the CIA, or the FBI - that’s the final part.
Well, debatable. Purging the secret services first is always a great idea when you're doing a coup.
Until it starts using its power to decide what technology and contracts are taken by the company. That's the endgame of the tech labor movement and the labor movement in a lot of industries that deal with ugly stuff.
Also there's no ethical production under capitalism.
By working for a company and thus make them dependent on your labor (to some degree) you have power. By not working for that company, you have no power.
