"I was just following orders" is not an excuse to most moral people who learn from history. Soldiers cannot commit war crimes because their superior offices tell them to. Federal workers swear an oath on the Constitution to defend it from enemies both foreign and domestic.

- pc86 2y agoYou skipped right over the "lawful executive order" and "democratically elected" parts of my point pretty conveniently, there. "I was following orders" is not a justification for committing crimes, but "I don't want to" is not a justification for not following lawful orders. If you have actual reason to believe removing "DEI" from a drop down list on a website is not a lawful order, I would love to hear it. But you don't, which is why you're talking about soldiers and war crimes and trying to frame this as "an enemy...domestic" and not talking about what it is - changing text on websites.
