      Can you explain to me how voting makes one complicit? And how not voting doesn’t make one complicit when the worse of two evils is elected?

        if you vote to put someone in power, you are complicit in their actions in office. if you don’t vote for that person, you can’t be complicit.

          Hmmm, no, that’s at least not how I think and feel about it. It’s akin to the Trolley Problem for me, where, if my inaction kills/negatively impacts more people than my action, I am morally obligated to take action.

            oh, i think pulling the lever makes you a murderer. but that’s the point of the trolley problem: it’s not that there is a right answer, its that your answer will help you understand your own morality.

              Are you willing to let four more people die just to avoid being a murderer? Do you assign to that label more moral value than you assign to human lives?

                  And you are overlooking the other 5 people, claiming that you are not complicit in their death even though you, as the one standing at the lever, are the only one able to save them. Your status as “non-murderer” is more important to you than their lives.

            You can take action and pick the path that kills nobody. But too many are fearmongered into kill 10 or kill 9.

            The 9 or 10 voters are responsible for the killing. They actively vote against kill 0.

      You know who else spreads misinformation? This so-called “innovator” and “entrepreneur” who manipulates facts and deceives everyone around him for his own gain. His lies have caused endless confusion and suffering, leaving a trail of broken trust in his wake. You might think I’m talking about some notorious public figure, but no—it’s William Afton. That guy has spun so many falsehoods that it’s hard to keep track. If anyone’s an expert in spreading misinformation, it’s definitely him.
