like, say, for instance, Lockheed Martin (just a cartoonishly easy example, chosen at random)
if you did the work before realizing it was evil, that’s one thing, but doing the work once you know better?
:what-the-hell:
“no ethical consumption” doesn’t mean you can murder kids, you goddamn psychopath
I have a friend who despite being anti-capitalist and describing themselves as an anarchist told me a week or so ago he was considering joining the Navy because his plans right out of College didn’t pan out.
I mean, I flirted with the military back when I was in college. My grades were kinda shit and my prospects looked pretty bleak. A military job just felt like any other kind of job, except it was 2003 and everyone who applied was getting hired.
Fortunately, I knew a few people to took that path ahead of me and they all informed me it was an absolutely shit way to live even before you have to worry about getting shot at or blown up. So I buckled down, got passing-enough grades to find an entry level IT job, and built up my resume over the next seven years until I could land a job in O&G.
Now I work for a soulless, planet-destroying energy company. But I've got a house and a spouse and a dog and something that could pass as a retirement account. And all the blood on my hands is at least several degrees removed from what I'm actually doing with my time.
Yay. :-|
