I realize this was just the first point, but as an aside, where do you stand on the concept of "just following orders"? Does merely doing a job make someone neutral, if they have no bad intent? Or is someone just doing their job therefore partly responsible for its impact, since they are a necessary part of the process, and complicit in it?
Conceptually I think we should and do treat it differently from causing harm actively and intentionally. But of course they shoulder responsibility.
Thanks, I agree
