I believe he's advocating not sabotaging oneself while examining issues of class, race, and labour.
The author's ability to investigate this from the inside is now gone, because he got fired.
- exit 16y agoadvocating a self interested "keep your job, stupid" perspective is very much siding in favor of perpetuating the system
- JabavuAdams 16y agoI am advocating a "keep your job, so you can continue the investigation, stupid" perspective. I thought that was clear.
- lukeschlather 16y agoPersonally, what I got from that statement was that the author didn't think the issue was serious enough to pursue the investigation, and is an honest person so didn't feel it necessary to conceal his intent. Google totally made the wrong call here, because as you say, someone who was looking to write a deep, hard-hitting muckraking piece probably would have lied.
