Like, good thing the Americans didn't take it as some kind of Russian trick and launched nukes in retaliation. Good thing no one got extremely suspicious of the timing, or went looking for all the scientists and artists that were killed on his island. Hopefully, after the initial shock, the political situation doesn't stay exactly the same and the Americans and Soviets don't just postpone things for a couple years.
That's the problem with these Trolley Problem exercises: you don't know the future. If you switch the track to save five people, killing someone in the process, what happens if another train comes up the other way and flattens them anyway? What happens if they live, and then go off and molest some kids? You killed a guy for no reason.
To Leftists, they always know best. Maybe it's their belief in educational institutions and systemic authority, but they both refuse to consider that they might be wrong, and refuse to actually learn about the problems they're trying to solve at a granular level.
In most modern science fiction, "entertainment", and "story telling", you'll find all manner of fictional stories where it somehow becomes better to tell a lie than to tell the truth, because the truth would be devastating in some way, only because the story (author) says so. They twist and twist the narrative to support their foregone conclusion that lying is necessary and somehow "good", and that the truth is somehow "bad".
Even lowbrow good White people know that telling the truth is a foundational requirement for any successful group, regardless of size. Philosophically, truth is paramount. Tell the truth, or lies and falsehoods win out, which leads to ruin. Prioritize truth above all, or lies and falsehoods win out, which leads to ruin. Act in truth, or die. The only way to succeed, grow, live, and proliferate is through truth.
But, these propagandists are doing everything in their literative power to convey the exact opposite message. It's hilarious, though, when they accidentally reveal the truth through their subversion, like with Rorschach and Watchmen. Rorschach was right. A convenient lie can only maintain peace for so long, and will make things worse when the lie is revealed. While truth doesn't necessarily mean everything will be peaceful at all times (because violence, nor peace, is inherently good or bad), the truth will always result in the best course, even if it upsets current falsehoods and lies in the short term.
