          What are the odds that the hotline is just fully automated and goes:

          “Press 1 to make a complaint”
          beep
          “Please state your name, and employee ID”
          “<name>, <id>”
          “Thank you <name>. Your position has been terminated effective immediately. Have a nice day.”

            Or they are an actual team of ethicists that just reaffirm that Raytheon employees should Minecraft themselves.

      Cheerily: “Hello! Raytheon Ethics Department!”

      “I am in an ethical dilemma.”

      Serious: “Is it ‘Raytheon builds weapons that can harm civilians. Should I feel guilty about this?’ Basically is that your question?”

      “Um… Pretty much.”

      “See the email I just sent you.”

      “I thought this was anonymous.”

      “It is. We don’t know your name.”

      “Oh…”

      Cheery again: “Is there anything else I can help you with?”

      “I don’t—”

      “Bye!”

      Click.

      Back when I was doing my masters degree in cumpooper science, the department sent out an email to students about a Lockheed Martin engineering ethics competition.

      The Raytheon ethicists are probably also the guys who keep tieing the people in the trolly problems to the tracks.

    Among the liberals I’ve been around, telling each other to commit suicide is meant to be understood as a joke. Haha. That’s the sound of my totally sincere laughter at the not at all extremely fucked up and soul crushing joke.
