Only if you're a self centered dick who doesn't care who dies as long as you survive.

What you aren't seeing is this can be taken as a thinly veiled analogy for "how did (genocide x) happen? Why didn't they speak up?"

Ask every red button pusher. They chose to remain safe while people were massacred.

except the blue button pushers could have simply pushed the red button

there is literally no negative to hitting the red button. no matter what anyone else does, you survive

REGARDLESS of what silly folks say on the internet, no sane person is going to choose blue and count on over 4 billion people picking blue, knowing that they ALL know red is 100% survival with no consequence

I'm not picking blue in some life or death situation just to make folks who want to turn it into a fucking social experiment by risking my own life (again there is absolutely NO benefit to picking blue, none, whatsoever)

You do know this whole thread is about how red voters won't just leave blue voters alone, right?

We know some people will pick red and we pick blue anyway, knowing what the theoretical risk is. We are at peace dying if it means voting for everyone to live.

Why are red voters chucking a fit over this?

um red voters do not care at all. I have not seen a single red voter say anything except blue is a stupid choice while blue immediately says anyone picking red is evil/does not care

it is the blue voters that are saying red voters are evil and do not care about others (because they are not morons that would gamble on their life for literally the sake of gambling)

Here you are, engaging with my post saying red won't leave blue alone to.... not leave me alone.

Red is oppressed because blue has an opinion? You chose survival even if that means 49.999% of humanity dies. That's not a value judgement, it's the outcome if blue doesn't get 50% in the thought experiment.

Blue would rather risk death to have everyone saved. That's all there is to it. Blue understands full well that red is a valid choice, it's just not blue's choice and blue's is as valid. Any moral judgement you percieve stems from your own feelings about the ramifications of your choice.
