    Legit question. What would you do? A loved one is in a right wing pipeline. They are resistant to discussion regarding the topic (as is common with such things). There are known negative health, life, and moral outcomes to letting it continue. It is known that removing the easy access has positive results. You have the ability to limit them in some way that would not harm or truly limit them (as previously stated, news is obtainable from many sources).

    The trolley approaches and your hand is on the lever. What’s your solution? Because this isn’t a thought problem. It’s something that real people are dealing with every day.

      Legit response. I would leave their agency alone and discuss their ideas in the open.

      I wouldn’t like the idea of someone taking my autonomy away, and I don’t think you would either.

      I also don’t ascribe to the notion that the ends justify the means.
