    The only time I touch the lever is if the person who’s responsible for putting people on the other track is on the other track (or if the other track is free and clear). Otherwise there’s never blood on my hands. You put me in this situation, with needing to pull the lever to make it happen, and I’m absolutely considering pulling that lever. You put the person who set that situation in motion on the “non pull” side and I still pull it.

        you’re gonna have to stand in line. I got a lot of pent up irritation with people like Musk and I want to enjoy myself for a bit.

      You can’t. It goes on a regular municipal route, trains every five minutes or less. Also carries freight on that section sometimes.

    The problem is that some moron added a meaningless switch right in the middle of a perfectly functional straight track. It’s not a junction, it doesn’t even go anywhere. Who added the switch, and strap them down too!

      This configuration does make sense though. Sometimes there are sections where you cannot build two-way rail. Especially for trams/trolleys that’s the case, because of existing narrow roads.

      You aren’t really meant to direct the incoming trolley from the left onto the upper rail ever though.

    This isn’t even a moral dilemma, let alone ethical.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won’t be tolerated.

Don’t take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don’t have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We’re not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can’t control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
