Seems like every day I meet more guys on a Raytheon coop program or some other project building weapons. How are you supposed to respond when all you can think about when looking at them is the deaths and the blowback their work is directly causing? I know that being well adjusted to a sick world is not a good thing, anyone who can shrug off mass murder to be professional is on their way to being a ghoul themselves.

That being said though, if I went on a Jeremiad every time I met one of these guys I'd be an utter pariah. So fair I've just tried to avoid these people and used them as a reminder of what we struggle against. How do you deal with it?

    A while ago I was talking with someone who worked for an energy company and she said she was trying to get transferred to the clean energy section. I responded "Oh you mean the green washing department?"

    She did this small high pitched laugh and said "I know right?" and the conversation got really awkward. She excused herself to talk to someone else and avoided me the rest of the event. I didn't explicitly intend to call her out on it - a jobs a job sometimes. It made me wonder if all oil & gas companies are filled with some percent happy ghouls and thousands of libs with pending transfers to 6 open slots in the solar/wind/carbon capture departments.

      Where do you work where oil & gas workers are libs? I work in energy and everyone is a ghoul in training or a Klansman without the robes

        White collar officeworkers specifically. You might be right, It's hard to tell I am just going off anecdotal interaction. I agree they're getting ghoul study materials daily.
