Do you see how this topic might mirror something like some dudes just working on the Death Star, never having actually met a sith?

There's been whole genocidal campaigns waged where people were just treating it as a day job.

yes? this isn't a "just following orders isnt a defence" case. Almost everyone at meta did nothing of the sort of bad stuff. There are nearly a hundred thousand people working at meta.

This is a "being a part of an extremely large group of people, some entirely separate members of the group are doing bad stuff"

Are there no groups you are a part of where members have done bad things? are you sure?

Do you seriously blame the death star technicians? The cooks at the death star canteen? I find that extremely hard to understand. Do you dislike people from entire countries because of things their governments did too?
