          So given the choice between someone actively demanding genocide and someone who’s passively supporting a genocide, you’d sooner see more people murdered than vote for the lesser evil?

              So you would sooner choose to let more people suffer than involve yourself in seeing fewer people suffer. What an awful person you are.

                  Yeah you are. If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. You don’t get to not involve yourself, not pulling the lever is as much an active choice to kill 5 people as pulling the lever is a choice to kill one.

                  You value your own sense of self righteousness over the lives of other people, and that’s awful and selfish.

                    that’s not what deontologists believe

                    and I’d say you value your own sense of power over the lives of the person you killed.
