the crew is a perfect example of where liberal crapitalism gets you

look at the crew who left- specifically sam. she is BEYOND thriving right now. she is much more independent and has truely come out of her shell, she seems like a fully realized version of herself, exploring her true potential, not caged up by the suffocating environment at h3. then look at dan or ab or olivia. they look scared and dead behind the eyes, constantly running cover in a way that reeks desperation for their boss's approval, or always on the edge of tears. they reap what they sow, and we all know they chose a paycheck over their own dignity so. sad to see it but i have 0 sympathy atp. someone probably can type a deeper analysis of this, ive been drained by the nonsense for a while, but in all honesty the way i see it is the liberalism ethan fights tooth and nail to prove is superior is making everyone around him miserable- including himself.

so, what does liberal crapitalism get you?

it gets you maybe 5 figures by not standing up for anything but your boss, covering for abhorrent pro fascist or abusive behavior until you yourself are indefensible.

it gets you publicly flogged for even accidentally stepping out of line, a line that changes day by day at the mercy of your boss's unpredictable temperment (for example, even smth as little as liking a love island contestant) or even for doing nothing at all and still getting yelled at (AB button moment).

it gets you to kiss ass to the employers that are supposedly supposed to protect their workers yet expose them to predators (jimmy lee) or disturbing sexual content (prolapse) or generally unsafe work environments (fruit fly rot garbage, untrained dogs leaving biohazards everywhere) regularly for clicks and views, with or without their consent.

it gets you grappling with mass harrassment from every corner, no matter how well you play the game and keeping "everyone happy" because you do so at the cost of your own self respect.

it also gets you job instability and inflexibility since theres no way anyone would hire them now with the risk association, violation of privacy boundaries and personal time/space (olivia getting doxxed, ab and lena forced to do wild PA shit, dan being texted at 1am about work stuff), and honestly i guess the only pro is you get some free stuff sometimes i guess... though its not really free bc im sure the employees had to pay for their food/merch they get in the office.

anyways, thats what fence sitting, centrist, greedy, loser liberal behavior gets you. the only way for the crew to redeem themselves at this point is if they broke the NDA and stood for something. but even then, too little too late. if the only thing they stand for is h3, then they should probably just stay seated. anyways thats my take on the crew, they chose to stay in the mess for clout so they can deal with the miserable consequences.
