    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.

        Your fears of fascism are ignorant of the capacity that Democrats exhibit.

      The trolley problem isn’t “settled debate” for the same reasons that Kamala vs Trump isn’t “settled debate”.

      The point of the trolley problem and why it’s analogous is that it’s coming up fast and you must choose to either pull that lever or not. Whichever choice you make, that’s the moral character you’ve chosen to exhibit.

        What is the moral character of someone incapable of questioning the validity of orphan crushing trolleys?
