I live in a country which is fighting off an external aggression for the last several years, and here "making killing machines" for defence contractors is a noble thing because you are literally saving lives with your work. And it's close to volunteering because you won't get paid proper money on such a job (because the money paid to you would likely be donated by other citizens anyway).
- emanreus 10y agoI see where you're coming from but that war looks unwinnable to me for either side. You have reached a stalemate so further killing kinda seems pointless in light of that. I've seen civil war first hand and how it can be all too easy to rationalize the killing of "them". I'm not passing any judgment just saying. Anyway, we digress too far.
