Have you notice that when it comes to being “brave” and speaking out against moral wrongdoing in Silicon Valley, it’s always the highly compensated white collar workers? You never see factory workers at Amazon for instance protesting about Amazon’s government contracts.

I bet you anything if people at Google who are protesting were really afraid of losing thier jobs, not as many would be protesting.

Amazon factory workers protest over their working conditions. Those who have more secure employment have the ability to protest over more abstract causes. There is nothing new here; many political reformers and revolutionaries have been from middle or upper classes, who possess the financial security and education to opine about high-minded causes. This is Maslow's hierarchy at work here.
