Working for Social media companies or health insurance companies isn’t any better as far as destroying the world and mass murdering people by proxy

I haven't seen Lemmy destroy anything.

Idk, just one glimpse of the fediverse chick was enough to shatter my world.

Yeah but profiting off of starvation, homelessness or sickness is slightly less concerned with destroying human life efficiently, more so extracting value from suffering. Far harder to wiggle your way out of a bomb dropping on you. In that way, defense contractors are especially gross imo. I guess you could argue being blown apart may be more humane though idk

I’ve seen people die in the extract profit from suffering system. If I had to choose I’d choose the quicker option. I mean at the end of the day we’re all stuck in an unethical system of oppression.
