We should all know we're trying to change them and help each other, how else?
Tell me you've never tried and failed due to "politics" but have you ever stuck your neck out even a little?
I was responding to your claim that it was illegitimate to quit in protest, and that people should stay and change organizations from within.
Given this belief, I assumed you might have some insight you have about how to do this effectively. Maybe even examples of when it has been done?
And yes all our energies should be towards changing the organizations, as systems professionals, rather than competing on "look what I can do" while the world outside our gated communities crumbles.

Being willing to walk away is fundamental bargaining tool.
If some people quit over an issue, it strengthens the bargaining position of those who stay behind.
Both tactics are required.
