Intersting pint. Not entirely wrong either. The main issue is you said "borderline". Drop that and you would be more accurate. Henchmen are usually the people who get thrown to the wolves to protect the evil leader. That too is accurate. Do you think henchmen do that willingly? I can tell you they do not. You can look at google and microsoft and such, where tech workers have spoken out about d What their company is doing. They don't like it. But there are very very few jobs in tech where the company isn't evil. So the best course of action they can take is to try to get some control and steer the company away from evil. They won't be able to make it not evil, they just can't get that much power. But they can make it a bit less evil. And if the union gets big enough it can lobby politicians and such to get laws passed that can further contain the evil. So it's kinda just something that can be done.
