Thoughts on if they work for the MIC doing govt contracting? I see some people giving the same arguments, I ended a lot of relationships due to this and wondering if I overreacted now.
I still despise them, especially as most of them are arabs acting as Kapos, helping drop bombs on their own countries
I feel like the void separating a capitalist “entertainment” conglomerate and companies quite literally building bombs and war material is a substantial enough gap to offer a little leeway. Rents gotta get paid.
For example, working for Boeing is one thing, and if someone is building passenger airliners because that’s the only job they could get with an aerospace engineering degree that’s one thing, versus that person working in the military procurement branch designing laser guided munitions systems.
Otoh, the guy working for Gulfstream in the luxury personal plane division may be problematic. But what if they're the soul income for a multigenerational household?
Luxury personal aircraft are such a tiny market that hounding someone like that is splitting hairs. I would say building a luxury aircraft is a far-cry from building tanks, weapons of war, surveillance equipment, police equipment, and so on.
