Are you intentionally being completely oblivious to the fact that many people believe this consequence to be a good thing for them and humanity as a whole? I don't want to get into the debate about whether this belief is true or not; I'm just curious as to why HN commenters so often pretend that people with different political beliefs don't exist at all, or are only pretending to have these beliefs out of some other, hidden, true reasons.
Even if you don't agree with some political stance, it's just strange to convince yourself that nobody sincerely believes it.
It also implied that this fact carries a certain value judgement, ignoring the reality that said value judgement may just as well be completely the opposite.
And what if the workers want to help kill terrorist/enemy combatants? I'm sure there is a significant portion of the population that would find this as a positive
