It's the trolley problem. Hes already killed millions, leave him alive, he'll likely kill more. Kill one blobbo, save countless other blobbos.

The trolley problem is a challenge because there isn't an inherent net positive to killing the singular person other than saving a few more. In this situation, you're killing someone who's actively harming others on a grand scale.

This is more like shooting the trolley.

Which is a perfectly fine solution to the trolley problem. Instead of pulling the lever, you actually get up and stop the trolley once and for all.

more like shooting the person setting up the trolley problems

No it's not, if the single person was a rapist or like a health insurance CEO I'd pull that lever and take all the survivor's out for Margaritas to celebrate lol

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
