minus-squareBeatTakeshi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoProbably fine if you are the janitor. If you are the engineer in charge of maximising “effectiveness” of weaponry well…
minus-squareLinkerbaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·10 months agoI’m going to disagree on that one. Anything to do that helps enabling it is morally wrong.

minus-squarePsychedSy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·10 months agoThat’s factually not true.
minus-squareLinkerbaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down2·10 months agoYes that is “morally wrong” as well. The difference is that you don’t have a choice. Moral wrongs become less wrong the less of a choice you have to make them. Stealing is bad, but I have no problem with a starving person that steals.
