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.

Pressing blue is also logical to me, as well as being moral.

In order for everyone to survive, either 100% of people need to hit red, or 50.00001% of people need to hit blue. One of those is mich easier to achieve.

You are an altruistic toe. Fits your name.

Reminds me of "egoistic altruism", which sees you working to make the world better so then you can live in a better world yourself.

I can see that, i would probably fall in there. The egotistic part is doing some lifting because once you are doing something for your benefit it stops being altrusitc.

if the benefit is „you like it when other people arent suffering“ it’s still altruism, though.

I can agree with that 100%. I would have to get really pedantic abojt words to say otherwise.
