Obviously the readers don’t know the identity of the interviewee, but I feel like I can remain somewhat sympathetic before knowing their background. It’s the people I know with high level education and experience who infuriate me the most (the Pete’s of the world). Even if it’s fairly garden variety evil, why would you use your fancy degree to like sell more Pepsi or some shit, it’s ridiculous. When you need a job though, sometimes there’s no getting around it.

He's right. We shouldn't be mad at this guy for the evil he admits he did until we look at the good we can never know he did or not because he's anonymous.

We never gave all the Nazi propagandists we hung at Nuremberg a chance to not be Nazis for a while, which is a great good that hardly anyone is capable of.

Anyway, it's very rich watching this guy worm around his fear of losing a job for his morals to a guy who deliberately and publicly did exactly that.
