    It’s strange the way resigning seems to be treated as some sort of protest in and of itself. It’s not. It’s giving up. Protest would be refusing to resign, refusing to obey orders, and delegitimizating the people giving those orders.

    Resigning just makes it easier for someone less principled to come along and do the job.

      I’m not sure. I can see it both ways. If you’ve ever worked in a place where a bunch of people in important roles quit, it fucks the place up usually in pretty significant ways.

      Maybe the best of all the options is “stay on, agree to everything, but go full fascism-resistance-field-manual in trying to actively undermine everything that anyone tries to do.” IDK if that goes into the newspapers when it happens though.

        It’s one thing when everybody quits Starbucks. It’s another when everybody who might do the right thing resigns from all the positions of power.
