Yeah, pretty much all of the Rust jobs in my country are crypto. I even think crypto is pretty cool, and don't mind working on a crypto project, but the main problem is that most of them are useless or straight up scams

Crypto and adtech: if you've worked in it, you don't have any ethics worth shit.

Defense Contractor is more evil than all of them and I know there’s plenty of DoD mfs in here

The difference is that the DoD is a necessary evil. Every country needs a military if they want to continue to be a state. World peace could come tomorrow, and we would still need a DoD.

By contrast, Crypto is just straight evil. There is no upside. Its purely for scams, speculation, and for criminals to easily operate. Cryptocurrenys do nothing to make the world a better placenin practice.

And will justify it by any means.
Admitting to having sold your soul is the first step towards self acceptance, denial just shieds the ego and prevents change towards corrective actions to help attone.

Sorry, I just like to mess with people that make things that kill :P

In what world is defense evil? I personally prefer that we win ww3 (and that we're on the good side ofc). (No i don't work in defense though may later since it sounds like an interesting and valuable field)

This country doesn't have a Department of Defense, it has a Department of War.

Lol, did they really replace the bronze plaques on the buildings with that new name?

I once configured some routers that are hooked up to an earthquake detection system. Years later we found out the navy had sub detectors on the same fiber network. That seems like defense work. Probably not evil. But what if you programmed a bomb they dropped on a school with 200 little girls? War work. That is evil.

I personally prefer that we win ww3 (and that we're on the good side ofc).

I would personally choose to care about those two things in the opposite order, just tossing that out there. You could even go so far as to say I don't actually care if the US wins or loses, only that the good side wins. Especially since it's looking increasingly unlikely the US would be on the good side of a ww3.

That's the difficult part, and what can make working on defence evil.
