I hate to admit it but damnit, they’re kinda right. At the core this really is a trolley problem. The whole point of the trolley problem is that it’s a moral dilemma.
It’s just feeling harder on y’all now, because now it’s more real. Sure right now it’s easier to not pull the lever, but if Trump and other oligarchs end up doing much worse things, would you regret not having pulled it?
The trolley problem was really always about revealing your values, and specifically if your morality chose the possible wellbeing of many over the few - even in tough situations. Because in real life, the choices aren’t usually “1 vs 3” random people, but something like “1 terrible, 1 innocent, and 8 bad people” vs “society at large”.
There is nothing inherently wrong with discussing the trolley problem. It comes up on a daily basis. So what?
When there is a direct call to action on an online forum to unalive someone by any means necessary even if it means killing innocent children then you better be ready to walk the talk or shut the fuck up. If you are so thirsty for the revolution, ill meet you at the front line but I want to see you there on day one. Otherwise, it’s just online meme edgelord shit for karma upvotes and nothing more. We both know these individuals that are so brave with their calls to actions would rather open netflix and watch the next ep of bridgerton after their bout of online memes. So brave.
Cmon man, let’s go. Let’s start the revolution. I wanna see you on the street tomorrow. Bring your guns. Cmon, let’s go! I’ll be there with you. You’re so brave. Let me find you at the front line first thing am.
Have you pulled it? Are you planning to pull it in the next few days? Because they keep doing worse things.
I am not suggesting anyone go out and kill because I have said many times here that you cannot solve systemic issues via assassination… but you and others keep suggesting this is necessary and then apparently expect other people to make the sacrifice on your behalf.
Edit: Sorry, downvoting me doesn’t change the fact that you want other people to risk their lives for your benefit. I wonder how many years you downvoters will sit around saying, “we need another Luigi.”
Oh yeah I already pulled a lever, but I pulled one many years ago by choosing to move to another country. And getting rid of my American citizenship (they charge taxes even if you don’t live there anymore).
This lever is now for Americans to pull.
That said, systemic assassination has been proven to be very effective at changing things in the past. Sometimes for the worst, sometimes for the better. That’s the gamble.
The issue is that such a tactic is really hard to pull off, because it needs to be focused more on those already in power rather than those who are power adjacent. Power adjacent people are best removed once power has been transferred.
Of course, this isn’t the only lever for people like you to pull. You can choose a peaceful option, like not paying taxes anymore, therefore not funding a fascist regime. Of course, regardless of your choice, the state will use some form of violence against you.
So no matter what, you’re choices are to risk your comfort, or to be complacent. Even something like leaving is sacrificing comfort. So, what will you choose, FlyingSquid? Or had you already chosen long ago, like I did?
I chose fleeing the country to save my daughter’s life. People tell me that makes me a coward for not being willing to sacrifice someone else’s life on my behalf.
I don’t think it is. I’ve lived there, and I get it. And if you’re not paying taxes to the US government, you’re technically doing more against them than probably 90% of Americans are.
Thank you. I wish other people got it because I’m really getting tired of being called a coward because I don’t want to risk my daughter being part of the queer genocide snowball that’s rolling down hill.
