Working on "killy" stuff is bad. That's my whole point. I is l stupid and counterproductive to what we as humanity are supposed to be doing.

[camhart]

You realize what happens if we dont have killy stuff right? We get killed.

[karim79]

Who is "we"? Who is the boogyman and who are the potential victims?

[fooker]

That's the beauty of it, it doesn't matter who the boogeyman is and who the victim is.

Would you tell Palestinians to stop working on 'killy stuff' for moral/ethical reasons?

[tmnvix]

No. But I would tell anyone involved in a genocide to. In my opinion that now includes the US and UK.

Others will have different opinions, obviously, but this is mine.

[fooker]

Great, that is not an uncommon stance. Respectable in my opinion.

Now, cutting friends and family off over something this just means you do not want to tolerate people with differing views and opinions on this.

It's more about the side you are on rather than some abstract moral argument against working for companies tangentially related to the defense sector.

[karim79]

"defense" sector. Listen to yourself.

[camhart]

Ask Ukraine.

[peyton]

Do you like abortion?

[Erem]

What interesting discussion could the answer to this question yield? People who view abortion as “killy” will possibly take GPs stance toward their family and peers. People who don’t won’t.

And anyways, nobody _likes_ abortion, even if they are committed to it being a woman’s right

[karim79]

This is insane and irrelevant. A whole other discussion which does not belong in the the same light as, let's call it "coding and engineering practices designed to kill people" under the guise of "defending democracies" as if there are any such democracies currently under threat.
