    It’s absolutely defensive, I figure I won’t come off as a “troll” if I declare it when I talk about your politics.

    I do agree that the meme has the tracks reversed, and I did forget about the full context, so sorry if you caught my original comment lol, but the whole situation absolutely connects with the actual trolley problem for me.

    There is no clear moral choice in the trolley problem. It comes down to personal opinion and morals, whether or not you believe that moving the switch makes you responsible for killing the one man, and not engaging the switch at all makes you a bystander, since you didn’t move the trolley or tie the people up in the first place.

    Or if you believe that it’s still morally correct to reduce the number of lost lives, if you have to kill someone in the process.

    Oh, and I didn’t vote for anyone.
