I've had this question for quite awhile but don't really know who to consult about it.

I've revealed that I'm a university-aged guy on here and so there's a lot of talk surrounding what people want to do with their lives. Naturally, I've gotten some less than desirable answers. I don't know how to go about responding.

For example, some people want to be cops or work for a three letter agency (I'm in the US). We can obviously see how that's not a good thing. I'm just torn on how I should respond. I'm not going to shit on these people, they're fundamentally good, just misinformed. But my morals cannot allow me in good faith to be like "oh cool yeah!"

How should I respond when someone wants to work for the oppressive state (assuming they're naive/ignorant about it and not like, openly fascist)
