This is the second of fourteen trolley problem memes I saved a decade ago. There’s another batch down the line from a month or so after that.
Nah, I’m just finding a log and derailing the trolley.
Might set it on fire too.
Yes you are obligated.
Also to kill the patent owners
Ahh the Heinz dilemma!! Nothing to do with ketchup, but used in Kholbergs Stages of Moral Development or something like that. Except it was a medicine that could cure your sick wife.
Or, are you in fact obligated to lead a popular revolt, burn the corporate headquarters down, and assassinate the CEO so that nobody else’s wife gets run over by trolleys? Then take over the trolley system and turn it into scalable public transit funded by the taxes of billionaires.
Think big
lead a popular revolt
“Guys, we need to band together and do a popular revolution to save my wife!”
“Fuck you, I’m not sticking my neck out just because you lost the Omelas Lottery”
“Well, then I’m going in solo”
“You’ll only make things worse!”
“we need to put together a committee so we can write a tweet that condemns, blasts, and slams, and then we vote to give more money to the private company for security because someone keeps blowing up their level fortresses.”
But in the short term, I suggest breaking in asap
Taxes implies they’re still alive use pillaged loot instead
Break in, pull the lever, light the building on fire, derail the trolley
Okay we don’t need to be doing violence against innocent trains here
I’m assuming here that if the lever is privatized, the only occupants of the train are exceedingly wealthy. It’s a shame for the train, but seems a worthy sacrifice.
Censored guns? Haven’t seen that before.
Breaking in and taking anyone out who tries to stop me
