You're an edgelord? That's a pre-existing condition.

Do you think corpos wouldn't unalive people to increase their profits?

Looking at how badly I am getting down voted, I am afraid to say anything too controversial. I have probably been reported several times for being correct.

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Correct about what? I said I'd never sell my soul. I'd never put myself in a position to be targeted in the first place.

[-] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Oh, how would you do that? I would also like to be not targeted.

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Try not working for Lockheed Martin? That's a good first step.

[-] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Done, what's next?

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That's not what you said

You said a company would threaten someone's family to force them to work for that company. I am not aware of any time in recent history that a company has done this.

Obviously a large corporation would kill people and they do.

[-] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Do you need specific threats or will just the threat of death due exposure and or starving death because you can't pay for food or shelter?

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 11 months ago

For your statements to make sense, it need to driven by a specific actor not the system as a whole. Ie, yes, a specific threat.

[-] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Hmm, I haven't found any historical examples of specific threats against families. I am a bit surprised, if they are willing to kill workers, why not also threaten their families?

Also my statement was corpos in general. So it was a systemic argument.

I don't know, only you can know your own integrity. Are some people homeless or hungry or both because there are things they won't do for money though? Yes, of course.

[-] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

So you would be ok with your family starving because you won't work for military corporation? If true I admire your dedication, but I couldn't do go through with it.
