it's annoying that solutions outside quitting your current job don't seem to be addressed, but my little sister found it in her high paying tech job and it's been shaking her belief in liberalism lately

This is a fucking huge part of it. Everyone walks in thinking like a libertarian. Get some startup off the ground, get that bag, and you will be independent. But to get that VC money you have to dance like a little circus monkey. Then once you have investors you have a fiduciary duty to them and you gotta keep on dancing like a little monkey. If you try to be good, deliver a less exploitative product, you will be undercut by the next startup. Your investors will pull out and move their money to greener pastures. Even doing the whole entrepreneurial capitalist shit by the book, you're still bound to dance for peanuts. You might make more money, but freedom and autonomy is never the outcome no matter what role you play.
