Odds are good that the computer you're sitting at was produced by a Chinese slave. Odds are good that the clothes you're wearing were produced by another slave. It's not your intent to support evil, but you do simply by going about your life.
Covert operations are as good or bad as their intent. If the intent was to drive invaders out of their homeland, that strikes me as a good goal. Ymmv.
As it happens, I will be using some of my wages to engage in covert operations this spring. I've had problems with certain neighbors trespassing, stealing, damaging my property and attempting to harm my animals. That has included attempting to run my dogs down in my driveway. I plan to put up no trespassing signs, but that will be viewed as practically an invitation to trespass and destroy by some of them. Therefore, I will first be putting up surveillance video. That way, I can bring criminal trespassing and criminal mischief charges against them the next time they pull a stunt.
You may think my spending my wages on covert operations is bad. I disagree.
