Look, you can hate pants. Despise them. Proudly state that society is dumb for embracing them and adamantly refuse to wear them. That is your right. You can make that choice. You will be going against the grain and against societal expectations and will likely run into difficulties and challenges that people who just decide to go ahead and wear pants wont face, but that is your choice to make.
If you are in a position in life that you can say “fuck you”! Then more power to you. But if you are job hunting, or think you will be in the future, well… Again, you don’t HAVE to, but things will be significantly harder for you if you don’t. Yes it sucks. Yes it’s unfair. But it’s not something most people can feasibly do anything about.
And as long as there are people, who willingly gulp down every us-american surveillance and privacy-killing endeavors, nothing will ever change. Glory to the holy empire just because I want one of those jobs? How pathetic, sorry.
With that pragmatism one could really justify everything. If only the majority does it too, or is just oblivious and/or ignorant of the underlaying problems.
As you said, the same reasons why this fucking abomination called WhatsApp still exists.
No thanks, I prefer being able to stand my reflection in a mirror. Because knowledge of an evil, while also participating in it, makes me complicit.
So just give up?
