  • You are correct that it was an analogy for the election, but the point the analogy is trying to illustrate is precisely that if you actually and for real were faced with this situation and decision (assuming you love your parents, if not please substitute for the 2 living beings you love the most), that you would reject the decision and take any number of alternative actions that are available to you before allowing a loved one to be killed. Hell, a bunch of people would fight to the death in a situation like this.

    The previous realization would then illustrate the hypocrisy behind expecting people to behave in a strictly utilitarian sense when you yourself would not when it involves your loved ones.



  • Who is “you” in this meme? Hopefully it’s the capitalist/imperialist/political elites that direct the country (this includes the Democratic party leadership, btw). If would be very unfortunate if “you” meant regular people, as it would mean that not only is your country going to shit, but that you also have decided to learn nothing from it all, and thus you are bound to keep tripping up with the same stone in perpetuity.
