[a character holds a lever connected to rails, on which a train is approaching fast]
A train is approaching fast…
Many people are tied to the tracks…
As a bystander, I can do only one thing in this current moment: flip a lever, which would send the train to another track where it would also kill people, but less of them

[next to another separate railway track, someone is trying to get the first character’s attention]
Hey you, over there, look!
There is a third track here!
It is not connected to the other tracks, but there are zero people tied to it, so if you do not choose to send the train on this third track right now you are an evil genocide enabling liberal

    What’s the third track? A free Palestine? “Let’s be mad for people calling us out for not demanding more when children are murdered at industrial scale.” That’s how you sound.

      I just don’t get it. Are you people being willfully obtuse, or are you all just that stupid that the reality of the situation just can not fucking stick in your head?

      The kids are going to die either way. Left or right, Israel will not give a shit, they will continue to kill Palestinians. You’re right, that is horrible and a terrible thing to support, but considering there is literally no option that avoids this, why is this even a fucking factor?

      Like, let’s say you have to be around one of two different people that are going to punch you in the dick. You have a choice on which one you will deal with, if you make no choice then one will be picked for you. Person A will punch you in the dick. Person B will punch you in the dick, and then stab you in your kidneys.

      Your logic here is that you can not possibly pick Person A because they will punch you in the dick, and you don’t want to be punched in the dick. But that’s really not an option. You are going to be punched in the dick, there is no getting around that. So you aren’t really choosing if you’re going to be punched in the dick, you’re choosing whether or not you’re going to be stabbed in the kidneys. Why the hell would you leave that part up to chance? Picking person A is not supporting getting punched in the dick, it’s saying you don’t want to be stabbed in the kidneys.
