Well, I probably wouldn't invite him to my game night, but if it's his job to watch ISIS videos, it seems like he'd be well-suited, no?
It seems like if you acknowledge that:
a) Terrible job exists
b) Terrible job is necessary
You should also allow for a person to do terrible job without thinking that they must be a terrible person by extension. Otherwise you continue the well-trodden history of certain professions like hide-makers, executioners, or coroners being ostracized from society for doing the job we told them to do.
- victoriasun 6y agoI'm sorry if I implied that I think that people who would enjoy this work are bad people. I certainly don't feel this way; I mean, I myself have worked on a platform that plenty of Nazis use and i don't consider myself a Nazi, so it would be hypocritical of me to say as such. I agree that I wouldn't personally spend time with said person, but my question was less about personal social responsibilities outside of work. My example I pointed out happened at work, during normal work hours, in a social space where people have inherently less control over who they surround themselves with. This is the part of it all that is fuzzy to me, and I don't have a clear answer for.
