The education system functions to indoctrinate, privilege, and filter.

If there's one thing that I learned from grad school, it's that talented people will be made dependent and subservient to death and doom for money... But more importantly because that's the social system they've been funneled into. They don't see any alternatives.

I worked on a project for Rheinmetall for a bit and feel just fine about it. I would never work in advertising though. What a disgusting industry that destroys minds and societies.

I would still prefer defense industry over advertising or fossil fuels for example.

I completely lost respect for an intern when I found out he was going to a weapons company next.

I laughed and upvoted the meme but then I had to find it again and double check to see if it specified a country.

God I wish I was smart enough to be a Galen Erso

I'd say depends on which one and what lobby work they have done. If it is from the US or Russia, it is probably a big no-no.

If it is a European or South American defense contractor or weapons manufacturer, it varies.
