So, you consider anyone with a job "powerful"? Personal ethics are arbitrary enough to poo-poo any job. It's just as easy to call everyone else "useful idiots".

- sublinear 1mo agoWhat did I misunderstand?
- ImPostingOnHN 1mo agoThere is simply not anything in their post which says what you said (So, you consider anyone with a job "powerful"?). If paraphrasing is a hurdle, keep in mind it isn't necessary, you can just respond to their own wording of what they said. If I may try to provide an outside perspective: your paraphrasing being accurate depends on others' acceptance of your proposal that jobs are mutually exclusive with ethics. And speaking personally, I did not follow what you were saying about useful idiots. Sorry.
