It keeps happening regardless, so why not do what you can as an insider. You need people on all fronts against a facist regime

How many times do you think we could get away with accidentally tasting our co workers?

Edit: Or Tasing them, I guess one could try tasting them though. Might throw them off hurting immigrants for a minute.

I've thought about it. They wouldn't have me, but even if they would, if you swim in the shit, you get it all over you. At some point you would have to do something truly terrible or blow your cover and quit.

If you stay you will have to keep doing terrible things. Shindlers list is a tragedy and part of it was that Shindler was part of the machine.
