#also the previously quoted story sounds like people obviously making edgy jokes

I'm sorry, did you just suggest that individual engineers who work for Raytheon are the problem? And the answer is, making it illegal to do things like work for Raytheon?

You realize Raytheon is a government contractor right? The government is the one buying the missiles. The government will never discourage making missiles for the government.

The military should stop doing evil shit with the missiles. Then making missiles wouldn't be so bad. Also, can we please demolish the NSA, while we're fantasizing about things being better.

(Also many people already refuse to work for Raytheon, so the workers self-select into turning the place into a right wing cess pit worse than any other software company, per a software friend of a friend who worked there when it was the only job offer they had, until being pressured into quitting by his friends and another company paying more.)

While I'm already putting this garbage thread on people's dash (sorry), the rest of this response is right, engineers and scientists are less likely to be right-wing extremists than the average USamerican, the moral panic is nonsense. The story looks like it's about bros making distasteful jokes and being annoyed they were attacked for it, and oh my god one of them isn't in a happy marriage heaven forbid.

But go on, solve the existence of assholes with an extra college course. I'm not even that against this particular one, it sounds pretty cool, I'd have rather taken that than some of my gen eds. I just don't think it'll accomplish anything whatsoever.
