I reject the paraphrased claim in at least a couple ways:
One, deontological or virtue ethics induce people to make bad choices when it comes to trolley type problems, compared to consequentialists who make the better choice(s).
Two, it begs the question by presupposing evil people instead of fallible humans. I expect this is downstream of broader mistake v conflict theory stuff, and don’t expect us to resolve ethics in this comment section, but seems worth calling out foundational disagreements as being sufficient to explain differing conclusions.
