Nazis are a simple evil everyone agrees on.
The reality is most of the biggest tech companies work with defense. Some of it is actually defense. I think we should come up with a "Are we the baddies?" checklist.
1. Do we justify killing 10 innocents to save one life?
2. Are the enemies not given proper burials, i.e. are body parts kept as trophies or mounted on sticks? Mass graves and cremations are still okay.
3. Do our commanders show joy at killing an unarmed civilian?
4. Do we perform experiments on live prisoners?
5. Do we rape or kill anyone under the age of 9?
6. Do we use starvation as a weapon?
Most of the cruelest societies would be around 5/6. Something like Holodomor was cruel, but only about 1/6. WW2 Allies would be around 3/6, but well, they were fighting the ones who were at 5/6. So maybe it was justified if you're defending against a bigger threat? Scale probably counts too, but it's simpler to measure intent and cruelty.
I would wager that no tech company scores anywhere near 5 like Nazis. But some may be complicit on at least 1, like human trafficking or enabling serial killers.
