The Onion: "Palestinian Solution to the Trolley Problem Rocks the Very Foundations of the Ethics World"
we've reached the point where liberals are saying at least their guy only does one genocide
"Sure, 99% Hitler threw a bunch of Jews in death camps, but if you don't vote for him then 100% Hitler will go for the Roma, LGBTQ+, Mexicans, Black People, and disabled as well! We have to sacrifice the Jews to strategically protect everyone else!"
Their finest attempt at an argument in favor of Biden. These people have completely lost the plot.
it's why i can't even take libs seriously at face value. If you really did care about voting blue to protect minorities, you should be incensed by the fact that the Democrat's messaging platform is this weak. "Well our genocide is less bad than what the other guys would do" yeah I'm sure people are going to be lining up around the block to go vote for that. If I cared about voting, I'd be screaming at the DNC to run literally anyone else, because literally anyone else would have a better chance at beating Trump than what they're doing now
They only care about minorities when they can use them to guilt the rest of us into voting for democrat nonsense.
It's almost as if the trolley is the problem
That's it! Fuck public transportation.
You can take my car from my cold, dead hands.
I think one small part of the problem is that vote blue types don't see assimilationist tendencies from liberals as destructive, when they are arguably more destructive in some cases than the direct repression of the republicans.
Black Lives Matter might be the best example of how dem embrace nigh instantly smothered the potentual of that movement, but trans rights may be similar. You're welcome to join the rich white liberals, as long as you don't rock the boat and abandon solidarity.
This was my experience with local protest. They never did anything consequential, just stood with pithy signs in the prescribed location for an hour on a Saturday. I remember going down there when I was younger and full of piss and vinegar, and having them tell me I was too much. They would circle up and preach to the choir. Never to the people in the streets, just themselves
OOP looking at twitter:
I love how the original fails to understand the moral dilemma of the guy with the switch
VOAT (Votest Of All Time)
Maybe we should find who is tying them to the tracks?
