This was a trolley problem in real life, and these voters all selected the most immoral and unethical choice.

Ah yes, the trolley problem, a philosophical thought experiment which famously has a moral and an immoral choice.

The trolley problem has always been really interesting to me, not because of the problem as it is usually considered, but because of the framing of the problem.

We could stop the trolley, derail the trolley, hop on board the trolley and take control of it. All of these, and more, are within our power.

But those are not valid choices. The trolley must not be stopped, even if the trolley will end all human life.

We can only choose whether the trolley goes left, or right.

We must never ask who put the people on the track, or why we can’t protect people from the excesses of the trolley.

Yea its so incredibly pro status quo, that’s why liberals love using the trolley problem as the rules allowed within the framing only leave the lesser evil option.

That’s also why I love this picture, let’s just blow the trolley up it keeps murdering people

Utilitarian ethics are ill suited for important things. Those people should embrace virtue ethics, except they probably think fucking Bill Clinton or Obama are paragons of virtue.

Except Biden was trying to get a ceasefire done and supported a two state solution. Harris publicly called for a ceasefire. Trump called for Netanyahu to “finish the job”

These guys have unlimited faith in empty promises when it’s coming from their guy. How many months of genocide does it take for them to realize that the Democrats are also pushing just as hard for a 1 state solution for Israel.

JOE BIDEN IS STILL THE PRESIDENT, YOU GHOULS. The PFLP said “boycott Holden Bloodfeast” and every dedicated internationalist took the word of the resistance movement over the concerns of people whose analysis of the situation amounts to “everything is permissible unless you’re on the wrong team”.

Libs telling us how they really feel. And what they feel is morally superior and genocidal hate against the poors, Muslims, Latinos, etc. Many of the comments don’t even pretend about making a distinction between Trump voters and all these groups. They all apparently deserve what’s coming to them, for being part of some group that maybe voted for Trump more than previously, but less than the (white) middle class a number of these assholes admit to being part of.
