You do, of course, understand that presenting this as a trolley problem implies not voting is a justifiable choice?

[-] SoupBrick@yiffit.net 1 points 5 months ago

Yep, if you don't have the courage to sacrifice something for a cause bigger than yourself, that is your choice. Just don't shit on the people who are trying to push the USA in a better direction.

Unsurprisingly, no, that's not what the trolley problem is about.

Yep, if you don't have the courage to sacrifice something for a cause bigger than yourself

For example, this is fascist retoric. If you understood the trolley problem, you might realise why.

You're asking a fish for the best way to climb a tree

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I know. I normally wouldn't, but it keeps trying to lecture others on tree climbing, so I thought I could at least try and help it get the basics right.

I would hope with all that big talk about morals, you two go out and do something to help the USA from it's slide into facism in real life. Otherwise, you are morally worse than the people who try to affect change.

That is, if you are US citizens.

I hope you have a better plan for pushing the Palestine Movement than sitting on the sidelines and saying your hands are clean.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Palestine? I'm talking about philosophy of ethics.

Ah, my bad I was thinking of world issues and how to slow the crawl of Facism in real life.
