    Not everyone is capable of comprehending a nuanced and complex solution.

    You offer no evidence of any capacity to question the contrivance of a despicable “problem.”

      “I don’t have any moral responsibility because I believe the trolley shouldn’t exist in the first place.” Totally nuanced and not completely missing the point of the analogy at all. If only everyone knew we could just magically make the trolley disappear we could have skipped over the decades of philosophy written about the trolley problem because the solution is so easy!

        I mean you said those words, no need to beat yourself up cause you have a little straw on your face.

            You quoted yourself, then attacked the strawman with all you had.

            You then expect me to defend your made up straw argument, failed.

            Since you seem to need it, I’ve explained it to you like a 5 year old.

              Yes, it’s totally a strawman. You definitely don’t think that we should not pull the lever and instead question why the trolley exists. That’s definitely not what your original comment said. Because those two are mutually exclusive anyway. We can only ever do one thing, like question the existence of the trolley or pull the lever to save more lives. It’s definitely not possible to vote to keep things from getting worse while also working the other 364 days to dismantle the trolley.
