It's really interesting how people like you expect people to just kneel and be obedient to the outcomes of a rigged game. You cooperate, you lose, other wins. You don't cooperate, you lose, other wins. You lose all the way around. And you're just supposed to accept it?

To me that just sounds like "I run the game. You will lose. I will win. You will kneel and be obedient." Damn straight I'm just going to burn it all down out of spite. Tump the board over.

I am very clear that whatever fun you can have debating this shit in classrooms and dorm rooms, in any real life situation utilitarian logic makes my skin crawl I reject trolley problems, especially when it is explicit that I or someone like me is being laid on the tracks

Because, for one thing, I don't trust the ruling class to accurately describe the stakes It's their game, they wrote the rules They're the ones who tell you with such certainty "We thought as hard as we could and it's you on the tracks or the whole world"

Why the fuck should you believe that shit Why shouldn't the girl in The Cold Equations pull a gun and say "Okay well check your math AGAIN And if your math really was right, oh well, guess we'll all die"

This is the logic of abuse that has been laid down over and over again The suffering of the slave class is necessary for the good of the nation Rapes and assaults and harassment must be tolerated because the perp is a pillar of the community
