RE: Working for Evil Corp: Are You Culpable for Helping Evil Prosper?
yes!!! I think you always have to take this question down to if there were only 2 people on earth - me and the evil doer- if I help the evil doer then YES I am morally culpable - hence YES the police and military are the makers of the New World Order because they carry out the orders of the psychopaths and YES when I worked for Home Depot, I participated in forwarding slavery world-wide, when I shop at Walmart (not) I participate in the demoralization of the culture, etc etc - the power I have and always will have is how much I participate as well as my thinking, of course - hence, living in the city - there's a lot of participation I can't avoid, but there is a lot I can - I just need to be prayerful and thoughtful about each action I take - if I use Facebook for example I am participating in the pollution of the planet that the 4 enormous server buildings produce - and the energy they draw from the nuclear power plants, etc
Well, if you want to buy a product and only Home Depot has it, or Walmart... then it's what there is available. We also use cars that pollute. Facebook is a market place for people to gather. If there is an alternative, it could grow to the size of FB as well. I think you have good intentions, but it may be a bit too far. It would be better to have better corporations, but they have also provided a high standard of life by providing lower costs of living for many. Alternative that are better are always welcome, but often we re limited in what we can do otherwise. I don't have a car, I bike or use public transpo, but I understand the need for vehicles in people's lives.
I am sure I take it a little far, as I suffer from Scrupulosity! LOL!
