Why do neoliberals bring up the trolley problem as if it is some settled debate among scholars that there is one clear possible answer?
Edit: I think my point was too subtle. What I meant was that it seems like lefties will bicker and infight rather than focusing on the bigger enemy first, until that enemy manages to seize power and it's too late. We'll be "united" in that we'll be executed together.
Sometimes, I wonder if a Trump victory would be the only way to get the various leftist factions to stop arguing and stand together, side by side, united in the fact that fascists don't care what flavour of ideological opposition they're executing.
Who gives a shit about whether the Trolley Problem is settled - it's about your answer: Which option do you endorse?
We had a Trump victory once. Spoiler: it didn't unite the factions.
