    You can fight the trolley itself instead of justifying supporting genocide.

    PS this is the real world not a meme. Political power is not a trolley problem, it is a matter of organization and education. You disempower yourself and others by pretending you can only backseat cheerlead a genocide. Instead of supporting this, go and join an organization that is actually opposing it and start doing work.

    In the US, every student is eventually presented with lessons on the Holocaust and asked to think about what they would do. Right now, to be honest, your answer would have to be, “support it using poorly thought out propaganda”.

      Very long way of saying you’re looking forward to trump being in power again and forever taking away your right to vote.

        Very short way of saying you will never lift a finger other than to vote even if Trump takes away your right to vote.

        My comment already contradicts your response, even with its inventions. Please try to address what I say rather than making things up.

          You said to Organize and admit a genocide is occurring, while not letting yourself be convinced that voting is the only course of action.

          I’m saying that’s awesome but what do we do when trump gets elected because no one wants to vote now?

            Of course voting is not the only course of action. Voting is incredibly little. What, you check a box? Maybe wait a few hours at most to get into a pilling station? Dear God.

            This is an incredibly limited amount of political action, particularly given the way in which box checking translates into any political action (electoral college, media monopolies, biased education, wage slavery limiting political education, campaigns built on donations from capital).

            I’m saying that’s awesome but what do we do when trump gets elected because no one wants to vote now?

            You actually do political work. You become educated and join an organization that does more than act as a sheepdog that turns alienatuon into genocide votes.
