It's like the trolley problem, except instead of the other track having fewer people, it has more, and it just loops back around to run over the people on the first track anyway. We should have sent the trolley on a completely different route decades ago.

Strawmen belong in fields, not comment sections.

Also: does every ml user have an allergy to pragmatic problem solving?

[–] basmati@lemmus.org 6 points 1 month ago (47 children)

"pragmatic" problem solving is killing all undocumented migrants to solve the housing and work shortages in the US.

Pragmatic problem solving was the excuse for the necessity of the Holocaust. Pragmatic problem solving is making black people count as two thirds a white person to appease fascists.

Pragmatic problem solving is a liberal appointing Hitler chancellor so commies don't get power and Nazis stop doing violence.

Pragmatic problem solving is behind the worst human atrocities. Let's not pretend it's ever been good.

This is an article about why Arab-Americans are abandoning the Democrats for endorsing and materially supporting genocide, and the response is "Trump would be bad too!" Yea, of course he would be, Harris is so bad that she isn't a solution either.
