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?

    I've organized at workplaces like this and it's pretty easy to embarrass guys like you mentioned. That's the only thing that works, but you need to have a context to do it in.

    I'd always single out the racist, chud-like ones in meetings and that gets them to shut up fast. They'll say slurs when think they're alone, they'll hesitate when they know more people are watching and stakes are involved. I don't know if you have the right context
