They are free to leave. Oh what's that - the huge payday is too good to leave just to score some points on social media for a conflict that has nothing to do with them? So almost no one is actually leaving? Yeah that's what I thought.

When people think about morale, they usually don’t associate it with “scoring some points on SM”.

accept all or leave is not how people usually arbitrage they lives.

Yes they have high morals when they have zero skin in the game, I think I know how it works; something in the line of please "give back" your country to the "natives" unless it's my country we're talking about. Sure I would have very have morals as well if those rules applied to me.

Immigrant here. When applying for green card, citizenship, etc. you are asked like a thousand times if you have ever participated in a genocide. The expectation is that if you say yes, they will deny the application.

There is a morality issue at play here for sure, but there is also an actual personal risk people are taking by knowingly contributing to tech which is used in an ongoing genocide.
