Libertarian Trolley Problem

I would say you can pull the lever, but that would violate your NAP and the snake specifically requested that you do not tread on him. Although the track was never finished because you were too averse to taxation, you shouldn’t worry. The passengers already paid you for their tickets and The Invisible Hand will surely guide the trolley to the path most beneficial for society.

A cartoon shows a trolley, a lever, a snake, and crowds of passengers on incomplete tracks. The joke satirizes libertarian ideology by applying concepts like the non-aggression principle, opposition to taxation, and the invisible hand to the trolley problem, making inaction sound economically and morally justified.
