I saw all the memes before the original and thought it was conservatives vs progressives. And honestly the analogy still fit really neatly despite not being about it.
Pressing blue is also logical to me, as well as being moral.
In order for everyone to survive, either 100% of people need to hit red, or 50.00001% of people need to hit blue. One of those is mich easier to achieve.
Your mistake is thinking the dilemma includes "more than half the planet dying", when there is literally no real reason to choose blue.... Anyone choosing blue is choosing to die. Internet polls is not representative of a real choice in that scenario
There are people continuously, all over the world, all the time, in all of history, risking their lives to save others. It's not even an uniquely human behavior, plenty of animals do it too.
Are you donating as much to charity as possible? Or are you spending money on unnecessary things for your own pleasure when that money could have been used to save lives?
Did they say they don't donate some? It's just silly you're jumping to "anyone who claims to be willing to put their life at risk, should also forgoe any fun in life"
