Internally. I feel like this word does belong into the headline. Other than that, I will never understand how employees don't move all of their communication far outside of their employers infrastructure in cases like that.

It's not about the dozens of activists talking with each other but about them writing to tens of thousands of people within the company. The former you can do on any platform. The latter you can only do on the employer's platform: that's where the people who're apathetic to your cause are, and they're not about to join your Discord.

      I didn't call you a nazi, but gave an adequate historic example of the "good apathetic worker" who just does his/her "job" without being aware or caring about the consequences of that work. I'm not responsible for your poor reading comprehension skills.

        You quoted what I wrote and fake-attributed my words to someone manufacturing Zyklon-B. That is not setting up a historical analogy, but a direct insult. The only correct response from you is an apology, not insults about my reading comprehension.

        I did not attribute anything to you, it's an analogy. It's still not my problem that you have poor reading comprehension skills such that you can't deal with a rhetorical device which expresses an analogy in the adequate historical context to make clear that "being a good, obedient and apathetic worker" does not free one of the consequences and complicity of work that actively aids and abets the extermination of a people. It's a reminder for those who forgot about the principle of "the banality of evil"[0].

        You've been breaking the site guidelines badly by doing two things that are not allowed here: (1) using HN primarily (even exclusively) for political battle; and (2) personal attacks, such as you did here. If you keep doing these things, we're going to have to ban you. Note: this is not because of your views on the underlying topic. I understand that people have reason to feel very strongly about this topic. However, there are many HN users who share your views without breaking the site guidelines, and we need you to do that too. Moreover, this has been a pattern with your account in the past since long before the current crisis: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29660818 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29660818 (Dec 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27646210 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27646210 (June 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23919180 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23919180 (July 2020) If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules from now on, we'd appreciate it.
