Selling out
-
Before I went independent, I made many thousands of parts for General Dynamics up to and including missile housings. It's a shitty feeling.

Not twisting your arm, but I always wonder what my limit is, and if they added more to it.

Very rational take. You learn entering the world that every company has a dark side, and every person has a line, but that line shifts.
Personally I'd avoid Lockheed, but when it comes to paying the mortgage, the bank is surprisingly not very amenable to me not having a job. I'd love to avoid working at any bad company, but I'd probably have to sell my house and live out of a studio, and my family would suffer for it.
So I give some graces. For example, people shame folks who work at amazon, but Amazon pays the bills. What I personally have changed to is judging people for being gung ho about a company, happy with what the company is doing, or are they just there as a job. If you're in accounting and you just loooove working for Amazon and think they do no wrong, then yes I judge a lot

It's not like China is going to stop making weapons if I refuse to make weapons.

Excellent opportunity for sabotage.

...everything

Selling out being an option for people just means the system is working as intended. People are so poor they are willing to compromise their morals to keep food on the table

It was freaking tempting. It was a 70% raise.

The firebombings, dingus.

My parents said the same thing about air pollution and carbon emissions
-
yeah this is a really stupid argument
"It's not like Israël is gonna stop killing Palestinians if I refuse to kill Palestinians"
-
I suppose the difference is that a country doesn't just get conquered by force if it stops polluting.
-
I wonder how many arms companies aren't involved with Israel.
-
Potentially the prosthetic arm companies
-
When you realize they actually have an adverse incentive to support indiscriminate bombardment...

I never would. And never have.

I mean
That's true tho, pretty much nobody else murders Palestiniains but Israel still does.
Change on all of these scales has to come from societies around the world, not from individuals.
