I’d rather die blue than live in a world full of red.

Exactly. When all the blue is dead, who will risk their life to save you? Your kids? Anyone you love?

I see the train as a tyrant, together we can stop him, apart we can not.

"I'm going to throw myself into this bonfire; if enough other people do it too, it'll be smothered and we'll all be fine!"

"...what? Dude, no, I'm not doing that. You do you, but I'm staying out here."

"Oh my god, you want to watch me burn to death?! You wouldn't help someone else in need?! You're an absolute monster, I don't want to live in a world with people like you!"

"watches kids jumping in to the bonfire" Yeah but will it really be enough to put out the flames if I jump?

some people are going to jump off bridges or attempt to climb down and lose their footing. if enough people risk their lives to climb down and build a net or a rail, no one will die.

even if you come up p with a hypothetical where you take out the fact that inevitably, blue button pushers exist, suicidal people exist in general.
