People were talking about a leftist outed for working for a defense contractor & I thought they were talking about the previous one from Twitter but there's a new one? And while two extremely online leftists working for defense contractors isn't THAT many, it's still weird that there has been two.

But sometimes, people need jobs.

And people who are qualified to work at Lockheed or Raytheon, are qualified for other jobs. There are zero people who can ONLY get a job at a multibilliondollar global defense contractor.

Well, as someone who was well employed at a big tech company and then got laid off and hasn't been able to find a job because everyone keeps laying off, sometimes you can't be picky. And there are a lot of fed contractors out there. Be kind and don't judge someone from one fact.

It doesn’t matter that it’s “one fact.” Being a child rapist, for example, is one fact. One fact is absolutely enough to judge someone when the one fact is unforgivable. I don’t care why someone makes genocide tools. Nothing justifies it.

do you know for a fact that every office of every defense contractor makes weapons? maybe they make body armor, or oil filters, and thats the branch they work for, and if this person needs to feed their family, isn't it better to support a family? rather than having to be perfect like you?

Oh, so they only make the things that facilitate killing? WOW, that’s so different! fEeD tHeIr FaMiLiEs there are zero people who are working at defense contractors because it’s the only job they can get and they’re settling for what’s available. You have the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair.

Purity leftists have this my way or the highway attitude. Is it any wonder why they can't get much done by driving away people who have different circumstances to deal with?

This ain’t purity leftism, babe. Didn’t even mention a book. There are no people working for the MIC who are in “circumstances.” Those are premium jobs; no one is settling for working for Raytheon. If this drives you away from the politics of a just society, you never actually cared.

We can’t get much done because people like you are constantly looking for excuses not to change the status quo. If you actually cared enough for it to matter, randos on the internet saying that it’s bad to work for the murder company wouldn’t sway you a millimeter. You’re just morally lazy.

You don't want to change the status quo, you'd lose your purpose in life (bitching about the status quo)
