And you'd still be incorrect.

Do they have evil practices? Yes. Are there evil people who are a part of the organization? Yes. Is every single person who is in any way affiliated with them evil? No.

Especially when you're talking about an intelligence agency, where information is so incredibly compartmentalized that the vast majority of people working there don't have the first clue what anyone outside of their own particular task group might be doing, let alone how they're doing it.

NAYRT

God forbid people do the briefest of research about an organization like the CIA before joining it.

Most people probably have. And, being reasonable human beings capable of seeing shades beyond black and white, have decided that it is not, in fact, a vile cult dedicated to sacrificing babies to the Great Old Ones, and that it might be possible to employ one's skills ethically and perhaps even - gasp, shock - make a push for greater accountability.

It's almost as though given the same information, not everyone would draw identical conclusions.

It's almost as if some people are so naive they wake up every morning expecting pigs to fly.

Especially if there's a decent enough paycheck involved.

People who see the world in black and white often are than naive, you're right.

Not a lot more black and white than whether it's ethical to torture people in an attempt to brainwash them, tbh, or teach military dictatorships how to torture most efficiently.

That just circles back to square one though - pointing out that the CIA does evil things. We all know this, the debate is about whether it's possible to do good in a different capacity within the organization, or at least not be an evil person if you're part of it.

And, really, if you're the sort of person who thinks anyone who is in any way affiliated with something evil is automatically 100% tainted and ruined by association, you might as well just give up on humanity because WE ALL, ALL OF US in the Western world support evil things with our money and actions. We can choose to accept it, or we can choose to fight it, or we can choose to live in the woods like a hermit because that's about the only way to completely avoid those kinds of associations.
