> That said, the objections I'm reading here are centered around supporting a government that actively tortures political activists and captured enemies. I think the phrase "if you [disagree] with their political views" trivializes that position.
Unless you're designing some kind of torture software, I think you're massive reaching to make one apply to the other.
Nothing about doing better e.g. tax software, road planning, or similar is going to help the US Government torture detainees.
Realistically there are millions of US Government connected jobs, it is just unrealistic for everyone to boycott them because another part of a massive government did something ethically and morally wrong.
