    Capitalist pulls the lever to remove his bourgeois competitor, steal his money, and monopolize the industry.

    Enslaves five people to force them to perform manual labor for free, constantly mentions how he saved their lives so they should be grateful.

    off topic but i never fuken understood this problem. Like literally. your action can save 4 people, what's the reasoning behind not pulling the lever being a morally valid choice as much as pulling it?

      I think the moral "dilemma" is supposed to be

      1. You pull the lever and now you've now actively killed someone or,
      2. You don't pull the lever and 4 people died, but you weren't the one to kill them so you're basically clean

      It's stupid, but I think that's the idea
