If you lived in a shithole one-room apartment in Bangalore you shared with 10 people but the meager pay from the call center job you have allows you to have two meals a day if you’re careful what you buy, you’d “just follow orders” too.
Not everybody is privileged enough that they can afford to put their morals before their rent, and that’s no fault of their own. You’re upset with the wrong people.
It’s not uncommon to watch a corpse float down the river or witness a bisection via train in India. I don’t think the chat staff cares. But using them as a barrier against rightful criticism is worthy of being called out or more
The fact they are still Shopify employees at this point is comment enough.
They’re customer support. They’re not making decisions at the company, they’re just trying to pay their bills.
And they likely work for a call center that shopify contracts to handle support

Hell, we see tons of keyboard warriors wanting to eat the rich but how many billionaires have been shot in the last year?
One.
OP would be the first to keep his job in their situation.
Zero. Everyone keeps calling that dude a billionaire but he was only worth 44 million. Luigi’s family has more money than him.
Oh really?
That’s even worse! Billionaires shouldn’t exist and if they do they should live in constant fear for their lives.
Bingo. They call for revolution from everyone but themselves.

lol love how you just assumed the call center is in India
What I (and the people working at those call centers) would give to lead a life as sheltered and priviledged as yours.
Seems a little extreme to claim that it’s unethical to work for a company because someone who uses their product did something unethical.
Guess we’ve extended “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” to “there is no ethics under capitalism” entirely.
You’d denigrate the forklift operator loading cargo onto a truck without first looking inside.
Except in this case everyone just got a good look at what’s inside the container, and it’s mostly Nazism.
Bruh jobs don’t grow on trees and some people have others counting on them and can’t be a martyr.
