> I've notice I've steadily become more ashamed to be associated with tech

Are you actively contributing to these areas you feel ashamed about? If not, you shouldn't really feel ashamed about what other people chose to work on, even if both of you work "in tech".

I'm sure not all people working on medical research agrees with what all other researchers are working on, but you cannot really control what others are working on, so why feel ashamed over what others are working on?

Why not? Someone who builds boxes that hold bombs can be ashamed of being in the munitions industry, even if they don't make the actual bombs.

Right, but if you're in general "manufacturing", there isn't much point of feeling ashamed about some parts of the industry focusing on munitions manufacturing.
