the entire liberal world order is premised on the idea that social murder is “different” than normal murder
the central axiom is that letting someone starve or freeze to death outside has no perpetrator, nobody to blame, it’s just a bad thing that happens naturally.
If there’s a large socialist state attempting to cover everyone’s needs and if they miss 1 person, THAT is murder according to Liberals. But in a capitalist society where nobody is attempting to cover everyone’s needs the deaths of thousands are just natural. Thus, to a Liberal, the morally correct thing to do is not even attempt to try and just let thousands die. Touching the trolley lever makes you guilty, so it’s best to never try to improve anything.
