Forgot the part where the trolley is clearly about to turn away from him

More accurately, you're standing behind the trolley, well off the tracks. Do you step forward, in front of the trolley, so the worst people can create an amorphous and constantly shifting narrative to justify you shooting the trolly driver?

This is a bad comparison to the ICE murder in Minnesota. Stupid fascist fucker wasn't even in the path of the vehicle.

This is unrealistic, dead man switches has been a common part of trains and trams since the 1930s or so, it is therefore highly improbable that any tram operating would lack that critical piece of safety equipment. Thus it is ridiculous to assume that the tram would continue on after the driver has been killed. I refuse to participate further with this preposterous charade.

Why the fuck would I get out of the way? It’s 2026, after all. A trolley running me over would be the good outcome.

I would probably step out of the way of the trolley, but I admit that I would hesitate. If you saw my hesitation and if I was doing okay, I would say that I'm doing as well as I can be, under the circumstances. I am fortunate to have good people in my life. When things get to be a lot, connections with people I care about helps keep me grounded. The world often feels so awful that I feel hopeless. I also often feel awful, sometimes due to the world, sometimes due to brain weasels scurrying around in my head. But in the end, I figure that if I am someone who is able to see all the bad stuff that's happening as bad, then that suggests that I am probably a force for good, however small that may be. At least I can see the problem. If I died, there would be one less person who understands that things need to change. My resolve is weak and weary, but it endures. As long as it does, I would step off the tracks and give the gun to someone responsible asap. Edit: I know that the meme is a commentary on the recent murder of Renee Nicole Good. I was just waxing poetic on my own mostly-managed despair, which certainly is relevant to the topic of ICE's crimes. It's an interesting contrast: ICE would shoot the driver, whilst the rest of us are left to battle the dread that causes some of us to contemplate willingly falling to the trolley. *That's* why I'm trying to stick around — because if I let myself die, then that's just another injustice in the world.
