Except in this case the trolly will kill a bunch of people if you pull the lever, or if you don't, it will kill those people plus a whole lot more. The logic of which people are killed is removed and so if you don't pull the lever you are responsible entirely for the deaths of the extra people.
I'm only responsible for what I do. I didn't create the situation in which the people were tied to the tracks of the trolley was set in motion. if I pull the lever I will kill people. I will choose not to kill people.
And that stupidity is why America has trump, and lots more people will die in the Middle East. Just because you are too ignorant to understand, doesn't mean you aren't responsible for it.
calling me ignorant and stupid doesn't change the morality of voting for evil people.
I think a case can be made that the long slope of lesser evilism is what made trump possible.
No, your attitude specifically brought trump to power. That's on you if you didn't do what you could to stop it.
a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
It's simple math ffs.
saying something doesn't make it true
I'm not making it true. It is true.
yet another unsupported claim.
