    deeply flawed

    Direct me to the flaw.

    Will someone passing them up make ANY difference to what they’re doing?

      The flaw is explained in what I just said.

      1. If you turn them down, that reduces their talent pool.
      2. If you turn them down you are no longer responsible for the suffering caused by their products.
      3. If enough people turn them down they will have to reassess their approach.

      Ultimately, doing something evil just because you decide someone else would do it if you didn’t, so you might as well benefit doesn’t make it any less evil of you to do that thing. In fact, it makes it worse.

        1. Their talent pool is 10,000% what od needed
        2. That does not affect them, as I said.
        3. That is impossible because of #1

        I didn’t say it was personally good for you, I said it wont affect that job getting filled. And it won’t

          No, what you said was that it didn’t matter whether or not you took the job, because it would get done anyway. And that is a flawed argument.
