The trolley problem is used to pretend harm reduction works, but if you extend the image, you'll find all the ones tied on the bottom rail will be moved to the top rail, just spaced out so that one side can pretend they're slightly better, even though they'll end up killing the same people anyway. If you think it's acceptable to let "the good guys" carry out a genocide, then you'll find anything acceptable. Keep sacrificing one group after the other as you justify your harm reduction scheme.

"First they came for[...]" I'll let you figure out the rest.
