I don't think this is hopelessly naive. History is filled with brave insiders who stood up for what was right. And this doesn't necessitate career suicide. Oskar Schindler, Daniel Ellsberg, and Smedley Butler are some notable examples within the 20th century. On a smaller scale, internal pushback has changed policies in government organizations and corporations. It is not always possible, but proposing an alternate, less-destructive method of accomplishing an organizational mission is one way to achieve this. I think the best example of this in action is Stanislav Petrov, who defied protocol to launch a retaliatory nuclear strike against the Americans. It turned out the alarm was raised by a fault relating to weather conditions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov
