It's not bloodthirsty nor absolutist.

If a tram sees a car negligently parked on the tracks, it should plow through it. The tram operator isn't going to see if there's a baby inside. Whoever parked the car on the tracks and left the baby inside is responsible for their own negligence, and also a psychopath.

    Explain why the baby deserves to die because of their negligent parent.

    Regardless of who we assign blame to, the important part is that if a train flips a car off its tracks, a baby in that car could die. So if we prioritize baby non-death, we can say that the train shouldnt be violently flipping cars off its tracks

    I didn't say they deserve to die. I only said their death is the parent's responsibility for leaving them in a car parked on the tracks.

    If a parent leaves a baby in the woods, no one would be arguing about "maybe bears shouldn't eat babies!" They would be saying "Maybe you shouldn't leave your baby unattended in the woods!"

    Leave a baby in the woods, it dies. Leave a baby on the train tracks, it dies. In both cases, it's the negligent parent's fault. Not the bear's or the train's.

    Your concept of right and wrong is clearly detached from reality
