Reason: politics
Time to sieze the trolley and build new tracks.
You can fight the trolley itself instead of justifying supporting genocide.
PS this is the real world not a meme. Political power is not a trolley problem, it is a matter of organization and education. You disempower yourself and others by pretending you can only backseat cheerlead a genocide. Instead of supporting this, go and join an organization that is actually opposing it and start doing work.
In the US, every student is eventually presented with lessons on the Holocaust and asked to think about what they would do. Right now, to be honest, your answer would have to be, “support it using poorly thought out propaganda”.
Fun fact: The United States actually has more than 2 parties
The More You Know
Oh, please tell me which third party candidate not only has a real shot at this election but is also not just a far-right grifter in disguise.
Pretty much all but the libertarian party. Turns out if enough people vote for a candidate they get elected. Weird huh?
I have a plan, hear me out,
The US rn:
One of these parties actively campaigns and passes legislation to block my access to health care and wants to make my existence in public illegal. Their supporters regularly say people like me need to be beat or murdered. I have had this happen in person, to my face, by a family member.
The other party actively tries to block the harmful legislation and passes protections for me. Their supporters are at worse indifferent to my existence but are often supportive of my navigation through my struggles.
To be able to ignore these differences and put words in other other minority’s mouths shows an extreme level of privilege.
The other party is actively engaged in a genocide, but I guess as long as its other people being murdered at an industrial scale, libs don’t give a shit.
Ignoring that genocide is beyond the scope of this meme, both parties are complicit in providing aid to Isreal, who is the party actively committing genocide against Palestinians. It’s important to recognize the difference between not giving a shit and recognizing something can’t immediately be done about a situation. Gaza is not on the ballot in the United States and won’t be until more left leaning individuals take power in congress. This process starts at the local level, and years before an election is held.
But its good to know that the genocide of my people is less important than the genocide of others. The perspective that two genocides is just as bad as one is absurd. Again, being able to believe that the party of liberals and the party of white nationalists are both fascist parties indicates a level of privilege or insulation from living under a fascist regime.
Yes, both parties commit atrocities and crimes against humanity.

That’s actually your position where you ignore the genocide being conducted by the democrats while talking about what republicans will do to people in US.

Liberals are fascists, and people who pretend otherwise are the privileged ones who live under a fascist regime and ignore what the regime does. Look in the mirror buddy.
