Riiiiight… I hear this all the time living in this area and it cracks me up.
“Yeah, I work for one of the most evil companies on the planet, one whose growth is predicated on endless (and usually illegal) wars and bombings but, hey, a job’s a job right?”
She’ll post about police brutality and gun deaths while working here:

For better or worse we are all cogs in a much larger system. I don't blame coal miners for global warming and I certainly don't think their opinions are more or less valid because of their occupation. I blame our government for not investing enough in clean energy and local activist groups from blocking solar panel projects because they dont like the look of panels. Ad hominem criticism are one of the weakest rhetorical points. Particularly when what we're talking about is an increase in housing units, which we can legitimately argue about merits/demerits and the attack is about...foreign policy.

That’s so noble of you not to blame coal minors trying to survive in an economically depressed area or engineers, software developers, or other well-educated individuals that I’m talking about working at Lockheed in one of the wealthiest areas on the planet.
Just two groups of similar people, with so few options available to them, trying to grind it out in the great American experience.
