    I’m not sure that being involved with the manufacture of the machinery of oppression makes one culpable for the oppression itself but it’s not a good look. The practice continues in the form of arms deals with dubious and autocratic regimes around the world.

    It’s like assuming someone is a Nazi because their great-grandfather was a Nazi.

    Fucking stupid. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to bash on shitty companies doing shitty things without resorting to baseless bullshit.
