I don't have strong opinions about the policies in question generally however people can reasonably disagree in good faith about the likelihood of different outcomes of a policy or its absence or alternatives this seems uncontroversial
even agreeing on probabilities they can disagree about the value of different outcomes without being monsters people have different social aesthetics perhaps you disagree, in which case good luck in your effort to subjugate everyone who doesnt share your precise taste in mores
none of this is novel, Certain People have been pleading the belligerents to lay down their arms with these words since the war broke out I dont know maybe OP is dumb but it more reads like shes not even trying just "heres todays rationale for why the outgroup is irredeemable"
what's especially dispiriting I guess is that she's explicitly justifying people cutting ties with their friends and family right there in the tweet not straight up calling for it, but that's the implication that seems to be spelled out through the thread, if you buy her ideas
Any policy implemented at scale, no matter how well designed, is going to have some bad results. some subset of such policies is worth implementing anyway because the net benefits outweigh the net costs. Therefore, implement the policy of shunning people who support monsters?
I'm not sure what you want when you rejustify implementing the political policy that you are protesting against in the first tweet of your thread, and you then cite the trolley problem, a brilliant demo of people's status quo bias, even when it leads to clearly evil results?
It does infer a new kind of purity, doesn’t it?
rather the implication that supporting a policy leaves one responsible for all of its gross costs if i pull the lever and save five lives, ought I be condemned for the one who died? generalize "yes" and the only way to avoid culpability is to avoid power altogether
so close...
but that's just another lever pulled at an earlier node in the extensive form :(
