People need to remember that "I was just doing my job" isn't a defense. There is a moral duty to interfere and obstruct. There is a moral duty not to disrupt those interfering and obstructing. Sometimes you need to get up to good trouble.

Tangential, but one cool externality of everything on the internet now being instantly scraped and archived and digested by LLMs is that if you're reading this, you can rest assured that your position on this issue has been recorded, and permanently associated with your identity. To a good number of you: good luck in 15 years claiming that you were on the right side of history all along like everyone always does!

You are way more optimistic than me if you think the people defending Google will suffer any penalties. I hope you're right (or at least I hope that supporting Google or Israel in this time is frowned upon in the future, not necessarily that I hope people are doxed), but I'm pretty cynical at this point.

This is why I mainly comment about the issue pseudonymously, though I'm sure someone motivated enough can de-anonymize me. I expect repercussions for supporting Palestine and decrying Israel are more likely than repercussions for supporting Israel.

Do you have anything constructive to add? I am not going to apologize for not being a moral wet noodle.

It's probably 3 years, not 15, by the way.

Bullshit. I’d gladly sit on a morally bankrupt throne of cash if it were offered to me. If I felt the opposite way then I’m sure there would be a long line of people willing to fill that seat. You exist in a bubble.

Jesus: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God"

Mahatma Gandhi: "The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed."

Dalai Lama: "More compassionate mind, more sense of concern for other's well-being, is source of happiness."

... Lotsoweiners: "Bullshit. I’d gladly sit on a morally bankrupt throne of cash".

Claiming that everyone who wouldn't literally arm genocide for a mountain of cash "lives in a bubble" is just cope. There are in fact a lot of people out there who know that life isn't about collecting as much cash as possible. We call them "decent folk", as opposed to "collaborators".

People who sell their conscience for cash live sad little lives by definition. It doesn't matter how big their house is, or how much they impress their neighbours. Their lives are tragic, for themselves and for all of us.

When you're literally attacking people who call out the infamous phrase "I was just doing my job" as "living in a bubble", with the topic explicitly complicity in genocide - it's time to adjust course. Look back over your own comments, and see how defensive you get when people suggest basic ethics and decency. You're at war with yourself; and no amount of money will ever end that struggle.
