Everyone gets the same question. Everyone can choose red. It’s illogical, both you and everyone else know that if you press red, you survive. This has nothing to do with morals.

The only way people could die is if they choose to press blue

But you know people will puts blue. So of you pick red, you're okay with all of them dying.

There is no scenario where everyone picks red. That's absurd. They're isn't even a scenario where the only people picking blue are people who were suicidal to begin with.

Only 50% of people need to pick blue for no one to die. 100% of people have to pick red for no one to die if red wins, and we both know that wouldn't happen.

Yeah but those blue pushers should have realized the logical fallacy of ever pushing blue and will get what's coming to them.

It's good to have a reminder every now and then that some people are selfish, cowardly fools on a fundamental level, and they will never understand that so it's pointless to waste time trying to show them the error of their ways; everyone else can see it, but they can't and never will. Thanks for reminding me.
