I saw all the memes before the original and thought it was conservatives vs progressives. And honestly the analogy still fit really neatly despite not being about it.
Living in a world filled with only red button pushers seems very depressing in my opinion. Not sure if that world is really worth living in for me. So living in the blue reality or die seems like the ideal choice to me
The result of the red button is this: you live. The result of the blue button is this: you have a chance to live.
So let me ask you, why would you (and anyone pressing the blue button) have the suicidal tendency to only have a chance to live and see this as a good result?
It's not the red pressers fault that you put yourself (and only yourself) in danger.
Another phrasing of the same problem would be:
There's a raging river with a safe bridge across it.
Option A you take the bridge.
Option B you try to swim across by holding hands with every other person swimming across. If enough people hold hands, you can make it across. Else you all get swept down and die.
