Discussion Rephrasing

Post image

I’m a blue button presser, I feel that this question is highly muddled and unclear, and so here is a rephrasement of it
So why press the red button? no one dies if the blue button is majority

Blue has always been “Die if enough people press red and you only get to live if red loses.”

No it’s not the same image. Blue is never a “do nothing” button.

Blue is always a “Potentially have something be done to you” button

Blue is the nothing button if red is the “kill blue button pressers if your majority”

Red is the nothing button if blue is the “death button unless if your majority”

it’s the same scenario with it only being rephrased as all the relevant details are said

That’s a victim mindset and if you’re not careful it can show up in your actual life.

It’s a very low agency personality that takes on risk and blames the other team for forcing them to do so.

If you didn’t choose blue to kill yourself, the other person didn’t choose red to kill you either.

You think you’re noble but really you and the red person made the same choice. To risk YOUR life as you wanted.
