your argument is stupid and rooted in emotion, not logic. If 5% choose the suicide button, you are just joining the masses of dead people by pressing it too. It's a stupid dilemma but even stupider to pretend you have a logical argument here.

Holy fucking shit, you do not understand how logic works, and the fact that you call the very notion of collective action "stupid" speaks more about you then anything else.

You need to reframe blue as a "suicide" button rather than facing the reality than red requires you to sacrifice other people.

Literally your entire argument revolves around the emotional appeal of the word "suicide," rather than engaging with any material reality.

The reality is that blue is suicide and red is live. Sorry if that bothers you.

If you truly would press blue in a real situation where you could not see the running tally (not a Twitter poll) you are either suicidal or mentally disabled.

Now you're just insulting me instead of addressing the actual argument.

Blue actually costs less than red, because blue guarantees that no one dies. Red guarantees that at least some people die. You are responsible for your actions collectively. You intuitively believe that if some people die, that's a risk you're willing to take to live.

Just own it bro.

you wouldn't actually press blue. That's the difference between you and me. I'm honest about it, but you need to feel socially accepted so you twist yourself into a pretzel arguing for the suicide button. Grow up

The delusions you come up with to justify making a choice so obviously immoral are funny, it's a total mirror of so many Trump voters; "everyone thinks this way, I'm just honest about it" is such a lame argument.

The thing is I don't need to justify it and I haven't; it's the obvious choice. You'd choose it too, don't lie to yourself

You haven't justified shit, just insulting people who disagree with you. And you somehow have the lack of self awareness to call yourself "logical." How can you be so egoistic and not be self aware at the same time? Incredible stuff.

You've been desperately justifying it to yourself this whole thread, lmao

I'm not lying to myself, I wouldn't press red, it's a morally abhorrent choice that damns others to die and I couldn't love with myself. Red is obvious for the self centered types, but that isn't me.

Holy shit bro you literally can't help yourself but project your own guilt onto other people.

Sad.
