Trolley problem

There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are 5 Nazis tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them.

You are on a bridge under which it will pass, and you can stop it by putting something very heavy in front of it. As it happens, there is a fat pedophile next to you – your only way to stop the trolley is to push him over the bridge and onto the track, killing him to save 5 Nazis.

Are you going to push him?

@snow "not my circus, not my monkeys" is my answer to most things, but especially the trolley problem

@sneak


My answers always be: pushing people on there is ileagl, therefore don't push. But the trolley problem always show how most Humans are extremely self righteous.
@snow @sneak You already made a thread about people you think it's justified to execute, and now you're hiding behind legality to define morality?

@brother Did I mention the word “morality”? Why I have to take my legal risk to push that person?

@sneak

@snow @sneak I'd push YOU in front of the trolley just for being such disingenuous conversation.
@snow @sneak Surprised you didn't do it months ago when I called you out on being too stupid to understand Neuromancer.

@brother It’s a bug on pleroma that can’t mute replies, retarded mental.

And I hate your self-righteous type with terrible taste about fiction. @sneak

@snow @sneak You can't even compose a sentence properly, let alone understand a story. Your analysis is on the level of "This is not attractive character", man. Hardly a surprise, though, considering the overall aura of ignorance and incompetence that radiates from every post I've ever seen from you.

@brother @snow yes but that doesn't send condescending messages to you fools. they should probably fix that bug, so it makes fun of you automatically and then mutes.

@sneak @snow Like most people who throw around insults to others' intelligence liberally, you seem like you're trying to cover up for your own lack of intellect by externalising your anxieties.
