The meme is the trolly problem, and this guy is saying "it doesn't matter if you pull the lever, someone dies either way, it's exactly the same!"
Except in the actual situation is more like "if you pull the lever the trolly will divert from running over group A and will run over group B. If you do nothing the trolly accelerates and runs over both groups A and B."
I'm saying it's worth pulling the lever while you work on a solution to stop the trolly. Someone arguing against that either doesn't care about group A, or cares more about not being involved than in actually saving lives.
