## You are harming the Chinese programmers
What is the root of the harm: me or GFW?
## There are bad things happening all over the world, why don't you fight for those causes as well / instead?
We have to choose the one we think is the worst, and focus on it.
What is worse is a subjective choice. For me:
1. I love China and my Chinese GF
1. I hate dictatorships, and China is the largest one
My SO username and protest time are not infinite.

## You have nothing to lose by doing that, but we Chinese programmer do
## In the Tweet you say "correctional facility", but reeducation through labour has been abolished
I think I have the most to lose personally: no enterprise who wants to do business with China will ever hire me for a high position.
