> arms manufacturer in payroll or something: you're not directly responsible for killing millions of people, but by choosing to work there you're still kind of condoning it.
It morbidly amuses me that this kind of argument can still be made given what's going on in Ukraine. Governments have militaries for a reason, and there's a reason Europe is now scrambling to re-arm itself.
Governments have militaries for many reasons. If you work at a US arms manufacturer, some of your output may indeed being going to defend Ukraine, but some of it is also going to the Israeli military in Gaza, the Saudi Arabian military in Yemen, and a long, long list of countries listed here:
See how the goalposts now move from "arms manufacturer in general" to "I don't agree with US foreign policy."
And even assuming that's true for the sake of argument, what? Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, et al. are just supposed to shut down for good the moment one politician makes a morally questionable decision? Life is not that black and white.
You're inventing your own goal posts here, since I didn't say anything of the sort.
To repeat: if you work for an arms manufacturer, you condone killing people. Hopefully it's because you think the weapons are killing enough Nazis/terrorists/bad guys to outweigh the occasional innocent civilian, but their blood is still on your hands.
