If you present me with a trolley problem in which the only way to destroy Hamas also kills a million children, I won’t know what the right answer is

Seriously? You don't know?

Because I would say most people on this planet would say don't kill the million children.

It's easy to act self-righteous when that has no consequences, but in practice most people on this planet live in countries (including democratic countries) that probably would actually kill the children in an analogous scenario.

Okay? But this was about you, not the governments that run those countries. You said you wouldn't know what the right answer is.

The right answer is obviously don't kill a million children and the fact that you don't realize that it's obvious is highly disturbing to say the least.

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
