    It’s the trolley problem again. This time, you have 3 tracks and 2 switches. The trolley is headed towards 5 people, one switch sends it to 1 person, and the other switch would send it to 0 people, but it’s broken. Voting third party is pulling the broken switch, knowing the 5 people will die but you’ve shifted the responsibility from yourself to whoever was supposed to fix the switch.

      Why do neoliberals bring up the trolley problem as if it is some settled debate among scholars that there is one clear possible answer?

        I’m not a neoliberal, I’m a socialist. I’m just not an idiot who will give a fascist free rein just because his opponent has the same shitty foreign policy as every politician in the whole fucking country has. There is a difference between the status-quo level of bad and catastrophic.

            Harris supporters on Lemmy have called for me to be put in a concentration camp.

            Lol no they haven’t.

                “I hope I get to watch you suffer the consequences of your actions since you doomed me too”

                “That’s a death threat!”

                Sure buddy.

                  Lazy quote changing gaslighting.

                  I hope people like you are the first people put in the camps

                  I will look forward to the order to launch on your nation

                  Mode removed some of your fellow Harris supporter’s threats, but not before you all upvoted and clapped.
