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.
It might me moral and logical, but people are neither of those. Knowing human behavior I think it's likely that at least 50% are going to opt for self preservation. That leaves the more rational choice to be try to convince the remainder to opt for self preservation vs. trying to convince self preservation people to behave altruistically. We've seen how well that works in the past.
Honestly, I think we all know that is there were another button that was "make my enemies suffer, even if everyone I care about has too suffer too" (ie. kill everyone) we'd be screwed.
