First of all this was more just a joke at how the majority of fed workers are employed in regular type positions and aren’t some super devious agent of the state type positions.

And Frankly there is a moral difference between being a high-ranking official who sets military policy and being a civilian worker performing maintenance. Holding every worker responsible for the most extreme actions of the system they work within is moral absolutism and the world isnt black and white. I wouldn’t hold a Russian plumber at the FSB responsible for an assassinstion.

People work primarily to survive, not to endorse the broader system in which they work. A worker might need a job to provide for their family, pay rent, or afford healthcare, even if they personally disagree with some actions of their employer. In this specific instance it could be a plumber at this naval location pays better than a local plumbing freelancer, or maybe provides apprenticeship opportunities that freelancers in the area are not willing to take on, or healthcare coverage they specifically need, or any other reason for choosing to be employed there vs elsewhere nearby, and it has to be nearby because this plumber might already have a life (family, property, other ties) to the area and it’s not feasible for them to move, further limiting their options.

Living in a capitalist society means that nearly every job is tied to a larger economic and political system that has engaged in exploitative or harmful practices. If participation in a system equaled moral endorsement of all its actions, then virtually no one would be ethically pure, as capitalism itself has roots in colonialism, labor exploitation, and environmental degradation.

Does your participation on an online forum which relies on technology invented by DARPA, a US military research project, mean you support the US military?

Anyways politics section leaking lets go back to bashing America and blaming the average federal worker

Slowly but surely this madness will end. They are flooding the zone which is a key strategy that the Trump administration has ran since 2016. They know what they’re doing is illegal so they’re causing as much damage as fast possible till the courts step in. You’re seeing it now.
