Noble?
Why are you making this about what's noble?
And are you really suggesting that, if given the choice between their own survival and the survival of people on the other side of the planet, rational voters should pick the latter?
Of course not.
They're suggesting that between the choices of
Americans minorities not being killed + the death of people on the other side of the planet
American minorities being killed + the death of people on the other side of the planet
The only noble thing to do is ensure that the second choice is chosen. As many innocent people, and especially minorities, should die as possible - that's the only moral choice, after all!
No, they really are picking the latter. They just responded to me. They think self-preservation is not the rational choice for someone to make.
Yes, you are responsible for your own nation at least. Shouldnt be messing with other countries people to begin with. Ideally America would stop being so fucking greedy altogether.
Jumping in front of the trolley does not solve the trolley problem.
I'm sure theres a point in your reply somewhere.
it does, actually.
