Don't steal me.

the whole point is that it's simple. simplistic. and yet we can't find an answer to even the simplest question. people keep changing it to make themselves feel better about it. it's common that people won't even engage with it, as if denying it is a solution. i guess that is a form of "this isn't my fault or my problem". if you act, you "take responsibility" for it all.

are you responsible? how much? does changing the parameters from a lever to shoving matter, and why? does it matter if you designed the system or not? why does it matter who the people are or how they got there?

life isn't fair and people don't like confronting that. there MUST be an out that leaves you unambiguously the good person. that's the just world fallacy: if only you can figure out how things work, nothing bad will ever happen to you, nothing bad will ever happen to anyone again, you'll never do anything bad again. you'll never deserve to be on the tracks, you'll never be forced onto them.
