i would err towards it ingesting proprietary code before this, it’s not wrong but AI spits out copyrighted and should-be private stuff all the time.

Shout-out to that guy who argued with me that onedrive doesn’t randomly reinstall itself for no reason.

Even for meat chickens not in cages, they’re bred to be so big and grow so fast they can hardly walk and many just die of heart attacks as they get too big.

Such as? If I take out an evil tech CEO now I’ve radicalized the right to violence more, and other evil guy #27589 is sitting there waiting to take his place, and I’ve ruined my life and my families lives. Everything that would land me in jail has positives and negatives for everyone. Sitting out a pointless war in jail has no negative consequence except on the individual.

That’s 29% that joined for financial stability, not that they had no other options. There are many that join because they are destitute, and I won’t blame them just like I won’t blame the few in auschwitz who stole from others while starving. That is absolutely not the majority though and most are there because it was convenient for them or high paying.

The cook is not equally responsible, just like a getaway driver in a bank robbery is not equally responsible, but they are still massively aiding the perpetrators. If every cook quit the military, would that not have a massive negative impact on military operations? Lower morale, harder to get certain types of foods eaten, more waste, food is one of THE most important things for a military.

You can argue the extent of the impact, but it’s one of the biggest deciders of morale, and no chef means massive morale hit, which means less willingness to follow (in trumps case, illegal) orders, less willingness to remain in the army, and worse overall performance. By providing that service you are significantly increasing the effectiveness of the military. That doesn’t make you the same as the person shooting the gun, but you still carry a lot of the responsibility for it happening.

I mean sure you could just guess at the percentages, or you could look at what people actively serving said their reasons for joining were.

29% said it was for financial security, and if we assume ALL of those have NO option besides being homeless, not just that they wanted financial stability, that’s still 70% of the military supporting the current evil by choice.

Yes you should also not work for Amazon, if you have a choice. For most people they do not have that choice unless they want to be essentially homeless. Most people do have other choices than the military. The severity is also worse, one is supporting an evil company, one is killing civilians, so you are more morally in the wrong for being complicit in the latter.

If I’m the one who hands the killer the gun, am I almost exactly as culpable? What if I hand it to the guy who hands it to him? What if I just fix the ship he is on to kill people? Well suddenly now I’m just fine and did nothing wrong?

Be a draft dodger then and offer to help your neighbor leave, and if you can’t then go to jail over the military. These people aren’t cardboard boxes who have to do what they’re told, they have agency to quit. Improving your life isn’t an excuse to be complicit, unless you will literally be killed or starve otherwise, neither of which is the case here.

Sometimes it feels more like in front of the bus, and running pacman just puts you a little further up the road
