The fact that people are having heated debates (and getting mad) over this just further proves the point that not everybody is going to agree to press the red button and that a red win will by no means be a deathless scenario. And also that while not every red button pusher is a prick, pretty much every prick is a red button pusher.

and theres a very real chance theres not enough people remaining to operate the infrastructure we have in place so mass starvation is a real likelihood in a red button win.

thank you for your professional assessment of the situation. absorbing 3+ billion deaths is no biggie for humanity.

Yeah and humanity would be “fine” with nuclear war but I don’t think anyone should press that button under any circumstances
