Pretty much how I feel about anyone in tech working for Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta.
You need the paycheck, fine. I'm not going to judge your circumstances.
But you sold your soul, and please don't try to pretend otherwise.
I would say those are much worse to work for than a defense contractor
In what universe? As shitty as Amazon is, it's still way better than being a war profiteer.
Amazon is absolutely a war profiteer. As far as I can tell the military industrial complex isn't taking quite as direct an approach to dismantling our democracy and promoting fascism as the big tech companies. Just because they don't literally make guns and bomb (which they might actually do for all I know) doesn't make them any less evil.
It actually does.
