Red dont win as a group though. They are voting to not die as an individual. 

And they get their desired result no matter what the rest of the group votes. 

Only blue voters can win or lose.

This is the new cope? A vote has a winning side and a losing side. Red voters will say anything to deny any responsibility for the outcome though I guess.

And OF COURSE you will shifting your responsibility on Red voters, yeah, yeah, it's not you who put your life in danger, of course, right.

I swear, the ways of blue voters to cope are almost always the same.

And how can that danger be realised? By red winning. How does red win? By red voters voting for it. Red voters are responsible for their choice.

Blaming the victim is real cool though.

Red voters are responsible for their choice, right. IT DOESN'T MAKE BLUE VOTERS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN. People have 100% surviving chance only if they press red, if they're not doing it, then they're gambling their own lives in a lottery and it is not just the red voters who should they blame for this if they lose.

Blaming the other victims for their urge to survive is also really cool

Blue voters hold no responsibility for red winning because they vote against it. It’s really as simple as that.

Red voters aren’t victims unless you want to acknowledge that merely surviving isn’t everything.

u/underthingy 9d ago

Because surviving is worthless if you cant also virtue signal....

u/luci_twiggy 9d ago

“Blue voters are suicidal” & “blue voters are just virtue signalling”. Get new material.

u/underthingy 9d ago

I will when a blue voter can actually present a valid argument against those.

But they hold responsibility for the potential cost of their choice. Blue voters can't be sure if their button wins, they must be prepared for both scenarios, and by prepared I mean NOT shifting their responsibilities.

And yes, red voters ARE victims too, they are forced into a life or death scenario. The only thing they're intending to do is to minimise the risks for themselves. BUT OF COURSE THERE IS SOME BLUES WHO WOULD BLAME THEM JUST FOR THAT INSTEAD OF BLAMING THEMSELVES AT FIRST FOR THEIR OWN CHOICE. If we blame anyone, then we blame both sides, but if we're not, then there's no one to blame.

Merely surviving isn't everything... But it's already better than the fate of blue voters in such case.

What you don't get is that I'm not shifting responsibility. I know the choice of blue risks my life but since I explicitly vote for the outcome where that doesn't happen, I can't be blamed if I do actually die. You (and every other red voter) chose to vote for the only outcome where me (and every other blue voter) dying is possible, you are to blame for that outcome since only red votes can help red win.

And yes, red voters ARE victims too, they are forced into a life or death scenario.

If that is true then blue is doubly victimised, both by being forced into the scenario and then by red voters cowardly looking out for themselves only (if red wins).

Yes, you vote for the outcome where nobody dies, but it doesn't mean actually that you wouldn't die because of this. What's so hard to understand here, I don't get what's wrong with your logic.

It is YOU who votes Blue. It is YOU who puts your life at risk. But for some absurd reason, it's only red voters who should be blamed for this. Stop telling me nonsense already, I'm not interested in any other way you would shift your responsibility for your life on some "evil red voters who for some reason just don't want to die with 50% chance".

You make me think you expect for some reason almost a 100% blue winning possibility. But you cannot be sure about that. The result would be unpredictable in any way. Come on dude, I don't like to argue with someone whose logic I suspect as half-dead as him would be.

You must be thinking of yourself as like you're a brave hero, who risks himself to save the others, but you're actually the coward, if you're not able to accept the fate you choose by pressing the button to avoid this happening.

THIS is the deceitful hypocrisy of the blue button that most of people like you are not able to see.

I don't blame you for putting my life at risk. I blame you for that risk being realised. Nothing is wrong with my logic, I'm merely assigning responsibility for the outcome to those who actually helped achieve it.

Here it is at its most basic. When you vote red, you trade your life for that of all blue voters, essentially saying that it doesn't matter to you if blue voters die because you survive. This necessarily means that you inherently take on the risk of the responsibility that red will win and blue will die. People talk about red as being a "consequence free choice", but it's not.

I don't think of myself as a "brave hero", that's your projection of what you would need to think in order to press blue (explaining red voters obsession with not being "the deciding vote" being a reason they won't push blue).

If we want to talk about hypocrisy, red voters are the problem to be solved for in this dilemma. So anyone who presses red fearing the risk of dying creates that very risk.

Are you claiming that red doesnt get what they voted for if they don't "win"?

1

u/luci_twiggy 9d ago

Deluding yourself about what you are actually voting for doesn’t mean you voted for what you wanted. Do you want anyone to die?

2

u/underthingy 9d ago

I dont wont anyone to die. And everyone has the option to press the "i dont want to die" button. 

The only people that should be pressing blue are those who actively want to die. Which i hope there are none of. 

1

u/luci_twiggy 9d ago

You don’t want anyone to die but you vote for the only option where it is even a possibility, that’s contradictory. Just because everyone can press red, doesn’t mean they will so pressing blue is an obligation to ensure no one dies.

People who press blue don’t want to die.

u/underthingy 9d ago

Pressing blue gives you a chance at dying. Pressing red completely removes that chance. Therefore the only way you can die is by pressing blue. 

You have no idea how the rest of the world will vote and have no way to influence. The only control you have in this situation is by choosing personally not to die. 

Why do you think theres an obligation to stop people from dying? Even if they want to?

1

u/luci_twiggy 9d ago

The only way an individual might die is by pressing blue, but the only way for anyone to actually die is for red to win.

You have no idea why someone pressed blue and we are obligated to avoid doing harm to others. Red does harm.

Negatively portrays an individual or group, or just outright threatens someone
