Edit of yesterday's meme with accounted for non-voters
This shit is getting annoying because it's such a fundamental misunderstanding of what the trolley problem tries to tell you. You cannot use the trolley problem to prove that utilitarianism is better. The entire point is to show the difference between deontology and utilitarianism. It's just tiring to watch.
True, it's a misapplication of the original thought experiment.
But it also kind of lays bare the consequences of choosing "the moral high ground" over an outcomes-based approach to morality. And I think that is still a useful thing.
I feel at this point the majority of content on this sub is not funny or a meme anymore. While I don't agree with Trump at this point Lemmy is becoming "astroturfed" like reddit
Alternatively: "I'm voting for Diet Fascism and if you don't vote for Diet Fascism too, you're voting for Full-Fat Fascism" but said with the sternest voice the weakest losers can muster.
More "I'm voting for diet fascism and if you don't vote you're complicit in anything that comes, which will either be diet fascism or full-fast fascism. Not voting doesn't prevent either of these, and one is obviously preferably. No action is still a choice you're making."
I just want a candidate that supports both universal healthcare and the 2nd amendment.
Libs love to imagine genocide roller coasters.
But I dunno why they expect this to inspire loyalty.
