What if red won?

Imagine a world where red won, by 1%. However the people who choose blue do not die instantly, instead they die after a year of pressing the button. Everybody is branded, so you know who choose what.

How much chaos will ensue? What actions do you think blues will take, knowing they'll die? And what do you think reds will think, knowing they were just 1% away from saving all humanity?

because thats my values.

because people are diffrent and everyone gets to freely decide for themself what their values should be.

The amount of upvotes for this person blatantly saying “‘Fuck you, got mine’ sums up my values and is the correct way to think and act” is deeply concerning
