I totally feel the sentiment of this post but it raises an interesting question. Pretty much every job, especially nowadays, is linked up in some causal chain with helping a horrible company and/or horrible people do horrible things. At what point does it become acceptable? Is it about having more elaborate steps in between? What constitutes being further removed from doing harm?
I dropped the bomb I built the bomb I designed the bomb I funded the bomb I bought products from the company that funded the bomb I gave a discount to a friend who buys products from the company that built the bomb Etc.
Where do we start to consider employment ethical vs unethical? And to what extent? It seems like nothing will ever be 100% pure, but when do I get to stop feeling horrible about myself?
Not an abstract question, am job hunting
i bought food from the company that pays people who buy stuff from people who pay people who pay people who work for the folk who shot the gun and dropped the bomb
oh no kill me i’m a nazi now
no ethical consumption in capitalism. you have to draw a line, but like, it’s often the food company holding the gun too. i’m not going to starve to prove a point.
