Like, if you work for the EPA or as some lab scientist at the FDA, are you still a prole considering you are being paid with the ill gotten gains of the American empire.

Honestly, I don’t see why US government workers shouldn’t be deemed proles, because that degree of moral abstraction could be performed on just about everyone in the US.

    I've considered working for BLM/USDA/NFS in an ecologist role. They're tied to the genocide of the natives but have to exist for the commons to. If we didn't have strict regulation of soil management, we'd get the dust bowl. If we didn't have crop research, we'd return to famines. Society collapses if the water doesn't flow and the water doesn't flow if agribusiness is allowed to steal it. They're protecting something more fundamental than the US for a posterity beyond Americans.

    edit: Ranger is kind of iffy. They're trained as cops and have arrest power, but they're also arresting you for poaching and defacing 10k year-old ruins. Those people should be arrested for stealing from that greater commons.
