How many democratic countries have never had some kind of involvement in imperialism, slavery, monarchy, starting wars, etc? How many are still doing it?

I don’t really think that individuals need to feel especially bad for getting work where there’s work.

Some jobs just inherently involve asshole clients. If your job is to stitch the leather interiors for Rolls Royce, 100% of your customers are assholes. I don’t think that means you should stop doing that job and flip burgers instead.

It's my belief that architects such as our author have far too much free time on their hands.

No you don’t. Just mind your own business. Leave them alone and hope they do the same.

Well, this is what the article proposes to architects indeed.

Yes he does. Helping an authoritarian regime known for oppression and killing its dissidents is not ethical.

And sure as hell we would not mind our business, standing aside when evil is being done makes you participate in evil. Saudi Arabia needs to be named and shamed and boycotted, the same way Russia and Israel currently are.

What would a boycott against Saudi Arabia actually accomplish?

The quickest path to a Saudi Arabia that doesn't abuse human rights is probably the path they're already on.

Why? Is this the new version of the WMB?
