I'm curious where you'd draw the line. Would you work for Sevmash? How about Purdue? What about a small business that is supporting the owners addiction? More generally, how do you determine where you would and wouldn't work? Do you have a set of rules that I can use to determine the suitability of a given venture?
Personally, I think responsibility for action terminates at the actor, and that economic transactions do not carry with them moral responsibility for the prior or future actions of the involved parties. You should be able to use those axioms to derive quite a lot actually.

I've not hear this before, can you elaborate? Surely if you don't believe that you know better for people then you have no reason to feel empathy that they're not asking for, right?
- teaearlgraycold 4y agoIt seems like you have a simple set of rules for determining what you will and won't do, and perhaps what is right and wrong. I don't so I can't play rhetoric with you on this one.
- thegrimmest 4y agoI don't know if they're simple, but I do think everyone's ought to exist and be at least articulable if not consistent, otherwise how do we discuss anything? Edit: I'm surprised you would dissent to support some endeavor based on your own personal beliefs, but refuse to state or elaborate on the beliefs in question.
