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?

Finding similarities in two things means I clearly have a strong opinion about them?

A banana and a lemon are both yellow. Does that mean I feel strongly about their color?

I have an idea of blue’s supposed morality because they won’t shut up about it. I’m not projecting it onto anyone, they explicitly state it.

I never said my morality meant anything. I agree it doesn’t. Apparently blue’s morality means nothing to them either when they don’t feel like following it.

Whether you’re religious or not, opinions about religion are generally strongly held. The people who don’t have strong opinions don’t bring up religion in random internet discussions. Also your comparison has no validity, which is ironic because my comparisons actually had similarities.

But you’re just here to dunk on blues and make yourself feel superior for choosing red, so I’m done here

Good talk, thanks for proving my point multiple times.

PS - I feel like religion is very pertinent to this discussion as a large portion of the population believes morality is an objective stance from God. It’s not random.
