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?
Challenge them on it. Directly.
There is no "be normal" with full scale ghouls. You should not "be normal" about people that make bombs and kill civilians for a living. You be normal with the average working class person, not an engineer putting real time into figuring out how to kill people and advance the interests of the empire better.
You make them uncomfortable, or you make the situation uncomfortable for everyone.

Unless you're organising and in a leadership position getting merced is probably off the table. If you are, then yes but not for going off on some ghouls but rather because the state thinks that offing you could be the critical link that hobbles your org or the case of something like BLM they offed leaders to put a stop to the activities they wanted to see an end to.
Or a journalist doing real journalism.
oh lol it's not like that it's just wannabe lanyard freaks, not people in high places. but they are working on actual projects though.
