it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know (sh.itjust.works)

It's not an issue, that's just an effect of the sarcastic phrasing. There's kind of an embedded notion within the original thought that people actually do this by choice. I think most work in dictatorial companies because there's really no other choice except destitution.

Thanks, that's what I figured since my experience has been have a job or be homeless and it really is my ass onto the street as soon as there is only small unemployment checks.
