Is it better to protest against the MIC or infiltrating and disrupting from the inside?

Should people boycott against taking MIC jobs or take the jobs to prevent worse actors from taking them?

I became CEO of Lockheed Martin because I knew I could have more of a positive impact from inside the system than by trying to tear it down.

it's impossible to change them from the inside. the capitalists own them and can fire you if you do anything to change them (and will reward you if you further their objectives)

Disrupt from the inside. Ideally with shrapnel

Institutions aren’t the sum of their parts—their behavior is dependent on human participation, but is largely independent of the values or goals of the participating humans.

Unless you’ve identified a specific weakness and have a plan to exploit it before going in, your participation will probably benefit it more than any opportunistic harms you can do to it while participating.

Is this a joke comment?

Why would I joke about being CEO of Lockheed Martin? If I am, that’s certainly for some 3 letter agency to determine and I’m not about to undermine those efforts.

I advocate for rapid, unscheduled disassembly.
