Perhaps this is cultural difference at play here, before you downvote this comment to oblivion I'd like you to hear me out. In India, we were expected to create value for our stakeholders, and bringing personal political views into office is deemed highly unprofessional. This doesn't stop the junior talents that are highly influenced by foreign media to have a go at it, but they're often silenced with righteous resolve. Tldr: Employees that openly engages in activism are often seen as problematic elements, which severely degrade the cohesion and unity of a company, therefore they're often the first on the chopping block. Are things different in the states?

> This doesn't stop the junior talents that are highly influenced by foreign media I don't understand. They are not influenced by the local media, somehow? Only "foreign" one? What is the magical mechanism behind that? And of course, it's only "activism" when it does against the accepted order. The activism supporting current powers flows much more smoothly and does not cause any such ripples, so you conclude it does not exist?

This isnt cultural. This "deemed unprofessional" and "silenced with righteous resolve" is just reflective of the relative power differential between employee and employer. It's an artefact of capitalism. It also doesnt happen when the employee has more power.

> bringing personal political views into office is deemed highly unprofessional Ethics are not politics. Engineers should be required to refuse unethical orders and work.
