If you choose the 'other path' (there are more than two) out of fear or because there is 'no other option' you probably will not polarize.
If that's really what you wish, go for it. If you're a darkworker, you won't care what's ethical, because the choice of your own personal ethics is exactly that - a choice.
Pick what's evil to you and what isn't. When I play poker, I tell people I'm better than they are, and I take their money. I don't feel badly because I told them right out; it was entertainment from there on in because they were aware of the consequences I had set for their participation.
It IS cool to 'play god' and you get to do that on both sides of the ball. It's like the game Black and White; do you want them to worship you and give you everything you want, or do you want them to be happy and get everything they want?
There is no morality in that former question. It is simply a choice. You pick!!! Isn't it exciting!?
Either screw what everyone else thinks, or embrace it!!!
