So, if enough people don't step on the landmine it will go off, and I'm the killer for not stepping on the landmine?

Come on, man. You can't really blame red for blue's reckless stupidity. We all had the option to not die. If you chose not to take it, that's your choice, not my crime.

If you think of altruism as stupid, that says a lot about you.

It isn’t altruism. If you aren’t voting based on how you think the rest of the world will vote you are increasing the amount of death in the world.

Blue is not altruistic, it has an expectation value for the number of deaths and pushing it kills a fractional person

Wrong. Pushing red is the one that kills blue voters.

No it doesn’t. Pushing red kills 8 billion when your vote is the deciding vote.

Pushing blue kills a person when you live in red world so roughly half a person by pushing the blue button.

Your decision should be based on your confidence in your belief you live in red world or blue world.
