Er, the employees here are emphatically not leaving their jobs. If consciences are a good thing and worth listening to (which, I admit, there seems to be some debate about), the world is a lot better off when people work at $company_that_does_bad_things and object to bad things internally, and when they live in $nation_that_does_bad_things and vote. Otherwise you're architecting a society where consciences are systematically ignored.

So you are saying that someone who works for a company, or lives in a country, that makes a decision you disagree with, is not immediately tainted and evil by association?

This is a nuanced opinion that I will have to think about for quite sometime. I was about to tweet a pithy comment, but now I’m aware that complexities exist that 140 characters won’t summarize.

You're so thick with the sarcasm. Who are you angry at?
