  • This is literally the trolley problem. Do nothing because you don’t want to “participate”–the trolley kills a dozen people. Choose to “participate” by pulling a lever–only one person will be killed.

    It’s idealism vs realism. Yes, ideally no one would vote for anyone funding Israel (or allow the trolley to kill anyone, to stick to the analogy), but if we think of the realistic outcomes that will happen, I’m going to pull the lever every time.

    Choosing to opt out of engaging with the system is still a choice with real consequences.
