As long as design beholds itself to further the goals of those who hold power and wield it for evil, no.

Or perhaps more directly: "As long as _designers_ behold themselves to" etc… It is possible (and necessary!) to design things that are not for the purposes of exploitation. Of course, if one considers design itself as inherently authoritarian, well… Maybe depends on how decisions are made/enacted

The intention is certainly still there, but the results always seem to… get corrupted.
