The Arlington National Cemetery website has scrubbed dozens of pages on gravesites and educational materials that include histories of prominent Native American, Black, Hispanic, and female service members buried in the cemetery. Only White males remain.

    “just doing my job” isn’t really relevant when your job is literally destroying democracy to assist a fascist neo-nazi regime

    Yes, quitting “in protest” is an option, but why do that when you can just collect a paycheck and be a shitty as possible at your job until you get fired?

    “oh sure thing boss I’ll get right on this deletion thing” 6 days of fucking around on the fediverse later, websites still unchanged “oh yeah I’m working on it, top priority!”

    I get fear of retribution if they figure out you’re doing it on purpose to sabotage efforts but like… How many people are actually bothering?

    I can’t imagine someone in the firing squad trying to say “I was just doing my job”, it’s not the same thing as the guy working in the lunchroom. The only difference in my opinion is the firing squad kills people and the guy at the computer kills information, democracy, morality, common sense etc…

    You can’t say you were just doing your job when your job is “destroy this information”

    Yes, it’s “just a small part” but even the Great Wall of China is made of smaller bricks/slabs. The whole can’t exist without the separate pieces.

    I’m a little rambly, apologies. I hope I’ve made a coherent point.
