"Is it OK to Earn Rental Income from Auschwitz?"
Ethicist:
Obviously, be a good leech and don't forget to do absolutely nothing. We can't control the fact that the Nazi Party is doing a genocide, sweaty. 
Democrats are only good for making right-wingers look lame and any left-wing vanguard party should constantly point to democrats to show any impressionable youth spouting chanslop “no, right-wingers are NOT cool. Look at democrats.”
Brings me back to a struggle session I had with an engineering student who argued that working for Raytheon is fine as long as you donate some of your income to relief agencies who help survivors of the attacks carried out with Raytheon weapons.
Idk if that’s a struggle session, more of someone who’s just wrong, doesn’t understand the general principles of ethics, and has no place being an engineer. Ie - an aerospace student 🤮
At my college they made us take an oath to do no wrong before graduating. Then they have their events sponsored by Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop, Boeing, L3Harris.
Military government contracting is like socialism for mediocre engineers. You're not good enough to do something beneficial for humanity, but you gotta use that degree! They'll hire anyone with a B-average to do their dirty work.
Nah it was a struggle session because I would start posting links to US atrocities whenever promos for these companies came up, then usually a group of guys who interned there would come troll. It usually would go on for several hours because I would take advantage of the situation to just post more evidence of the companies being ghoulish, and make sure that no one would see the original promo after it gets buried in a billion messages.
Reminds me of an email that got sent by the computer science department back when I was doing a degree.
He's like a character in a bad war comedy. Yikes.
I literally left an org because I was getting pressure to work on weapons.
Engineering ethics in the US are a joke. It's ingrained in the culture.
'kind of' evil.
New York Crimes can't get itself to see imprisoned people as fully human.
The bonus question is about half naked people on beaches this is a great snapshot into seppo media.
Most people accept that states have a right to control their borders and that there’s a legitimate role for authorities charged with enforcing immigration policy, especially when it comes to those who have committed serious crimes. ICE also investigates trafficking, smuggling and other transnational offenses that clearly require federal oversight.
“We can just put human rights to a poll” ass answer.
Whoever wrote this Would have said slavery was fine in the 1850s.

A few hours ago I typed out a reply at Bluesky but I ended up deleting it. I realized in context it could be seen as a silly and sort of pathetic effort to grab likes and not as in-passing shitpost. Bluesky takes itself so very seriously and everybody is like-grabbing all the time.
I'll share it here.

If the New York Times Ethicist was born in 1754 and not 1954...
Me: "Is it okay for me to own slaves?"
Ethicist: "Yes, provided it's legal in your area."
Liberals working so hard to forget that ICE was created by the second Bush regime in 2003
this is the same tradition of ethics that came up with an entire kingdom's worth of castles of thought to justify slavery
Trick question. Rental income isn't earned.
