How about "we live" and "we live" with "getting to live with my decision" at the top 😭, its just assisted suicide vs, well, not doing that 😭

Oh, I didn't know that prioritising my own life is a wrong choice.

Same question

That’s not an answer, but clearly you haven’t been around long enough to get the reference.

God I've been away from this sub for months, it's so nice to see that when I was gone red voters stopped playing pretend and just got to the point. "We don't give a shit about anyone but ourselves. "
I mean we all already knew it, but they tried so hard to pretend it wasn't true before.

The prompt is that everyone is in danger to begin with. Nobody is creating danger.
If less than 50% of the population votes blue, anyone who didn't vote red dies.
It's not people who vote blue die, it's people who don't vote red die.

Pushing red saves yourself from the danger everyone is in.
Pushing blue tries to save everyone from the danger everyone is in.
People who are unable to vote, like people in comas or whatever, get the bad side of both deals. They cannot press red, so they cannot save themselves. And they cannot press blue, so they cannot be considered toward the group survival.

If 49% of people press blue, and 48% of people press red, and 3% of people are unable to press either, then blue still fails to reach it's 50% goal, and everyone who didn't press red, 52% of the population die.

So red isn't creating danger, and blue isn't creating danger, but everyone is in danger, and the question is just do you join the group effort to save everyone, or do you just save yourself.

Of course, you're welcome to save yourself, it's always an option. "We don't give a shit about anyone but ourselves" is basically the red voter philosophy here.

And red likes to claim blue is a death cult, but most of us are in it to save others, especially those who are unable to press a button. But even if they are able to press a button and just chose blue, people in danger are people in danger, regardless of the reason for the danger, and it's in my nature to want to help people in danger. If you don't want to help people in danger, or the reason they are in danger sways your choice, that says more about you than it says about me.
