              And everyone working on the logistics or running the books or making the business deals were just following orders then I guess?

                Honestly yeah, some of them are just being unethically consumed under capitalism. Shit sucks. Thats is why soc dems are fash. However untill a revolution looks likely we'd be a fool to make sure no comrade ever gets real money.

                  If you can get a job writing targeting software for missiles that will be used to kill brown people or doing payroll for the people automating the Holocaust, you can get a job doing that for places that aren't committing acts of unspeakable evil. Similarly if you're janitoring for the former, there are plenty of jobs on the same payscale available rn.

                  You can't "no ethical consumption" yourself into being an accessory to genocide and expect a pass.

                  Stop being reactionary.

                    but f you can get a job doing that you can probably also ensure non timely delivery of objectives (if you see what i'm saying) :ypg-brace: :chairman-moa-panic:

                    Yeah, but a bunch if that tech got made by video game people and they were real upset what they found out what their work was used for.

                    Thinking there is some kinder better way to do capitalism is the trap socdems fall into.
