That's rather specious reasoning.

Any employment-offering entity (EOE) $foo can be substituted in the pace of Boeing or Lockheed in that argument: "the mob", "the Stasi", "revenge porn sites", etc.

So it really does boil down to intrinsics, after all. If we're going to commit ourselves to ending perennial abuses perpetrated by EOEs that seem entrenched and averse to wisdom and self-reflection (like large military contractors, or our so-called intelligence agencies)... then perhaps it should no longer be socially acceptable to work for them.
