    that’s rich.

    the only idiots who willingly misattribute this thought experiment are conservative trolls and Leftists, in my experience.

    honestly I think Democrats are the only ones who can fully grasp the concept of the trolley problem since both conservatives and leftists are much too extreme to make a non-biased choice. That can only be true because Democrats ride the fence between the two so well(according to both conservatives anf leftists).

    but hey, I’m just some retard on the internet according to them as well. 🤷

      Extreme leftism is when you have a bedrock principle or two that you refuse to compromise on. Centrism is when everything, even genocide, is negotiable.

        really great how you made a net negative sound like a positive, when in reality Leftists are just hyper focused on a facet of a larger problem and completely ignore the bigger picture because it doesn’t make them feel warm and fuzzy.

        that’s fine. Genocide is acceptable by Leftists too if it’s Muslims.

        btw, where was the leftist outrage for the millions of Wygers in China? not brown enough? not convenient enough during an election?

        so what makes lefties IGNORE Wyger persecution in china?

          Leave aside for a moment the argument we might have about what is happening in China… What the fuck would I be able to do about that? Do I vote in China? Do my tax dollars fund their military?
