I don't know. There're limits to what can be considered an acceptable hustle imo. I get the whole American thing about not judging what someone works. but you gotta cut it at elbit systems or ICE.
Yeah, I do agree for the most part. I think anyone who has the option should avoid working at these places.
But I guess I just don't have a fully formed opinion about whether it's less moral to work for an evil org or to throw away a chance to support loved ones. I'm tripped up by the hypothetical scenario where a job is the difference for someone's ability to put a roof over their children's heads.
It's essentially this "conundrum":
Work somewhere for the next two years and be able to lead what would've been middle class life 20 years ago. But your actions will be destructive.
Or decline to do that and try to get by living a less comfortable life which destroys less in the end.
I think the choice is clear. Other people have loved and just because you don't know them doesn't mean it's more "moral" to hurt them, which is what I am getting at when saying that one's actions are harmful.
