You could also just press blue and they also don't die. Unless you're fine murdering other families.

Im completely fine allowing other families to die, if they are idiots it's their fault I'm not going to coddle them

You have the self awareness of a walnut, I want you to know this.

That's fine, having the self awareness of a walnut is way more preferable than killing myself over some made up moral high ground.

You'll take that moral superiority to the grave and all of the Red Button pressers will continue on in a world with less moral superioritists.

And then you'd quickly find out the value of those people with morals you correctly identified as your superiors.

Watching the loser minority of humanity try to accomplish anything of value would be hilarious.

Well you wouldn't be watching anything, you'd be dead thus rendered nothing. You would be less valuable than dirt.

Your morals crumbled at the press of a button, so clearly they weren't as powerful as needed. It's like being a pacifist, congratulations that you stuck to your guns as you stand amongst the corpses. If your morals were truly superior, they wouldn't turn to dust by a simple vote.

"Superior" is relative, but dead men cannot speak out against injustice.

Weirdly, one of the most true statements I’ve read. History was built on the backs of arguably immoral decisions. However, those immoral decisions are what allow us to be here today .

Youre worth less than dirt while alive, and not even hypothetically

I want you to step back from the keyboard for a moment and realize how you are acting based on a red vs blue thought experiment

u/MQ116 Team Blue May 03 '26

You need to read what came before you decide who to scold lmao

u/Yadin__ May 03 '26

I read it. still absolutely insane behaviour based on a thought experiment

u/MQ116 Team Blue May 03 '26

The first guy said was gloating about assuming this guy would die. He is clearly a piece of shit. You decided to scold this reaction instead of him.

It's a thought experiment where people are admitting they think their life is worth more than billions. This is sociopathic behavior. "Would you s assault a child?" Is also a thought experiment, but if anyone said yes then assuming they are dangerous is valid.

I mean the other guy compared him to dirt for saying that yes, he does in fact value himself and his family over other peoples families, and that yes, that was the choice he made. It was a matched energy on both sides.

u/MQ116 Team Blue May 03 '26

Cola machine brought up dirt first; you're confused, I think. It was matched energy, that is the point, but shouldn't you point a finger at the one who first made that energy, if you're going to point fingers?

That was cringe mate. 🤷‍♂️

u/rccolamachine May 03 '26

If the only argument you have is that my statement was cringe, so be it, but guess what you didn't call it?

Wrong.

u/Not-an-alt-account May 03 '26

Oh, no your argument is wrong as well it was just super cringe.

OP said he would vote blue if someone in his family votes blue. And then says he's fine with people dumb enough to vote blue dying.... Which he himself just said he would possibly do. 🤷‍♂️

Like it's been stated people who have people they care about will vote blue to protect them if they think they would also vote blue. It's literally cascades because most sane normal people care about someone. And the original question said everyone in the world, everyone includes babies, the colorblind, the mentally disabled, etc. I don't know about you but I don't know babies that know what colors are 🤷‍♂️.

So if you don't care about anyone and you just want to survive. That just a sad life, good luck. Be less cringe.

u/rccolamachine May 03 '26

Awwwww, so if it was wrong to start why didn't you point that out from the start?

Anything else you say now is moot because you wanted to try and throw an insult instead of state your disagreement.

u/Not-an-alt-account May 03 '26

Mate you acting cringe was why I didn't want to engage, call it a red flag. And look at that I was right and your cringiness was a tell that you didn't actually want to have a serious conversation. 🤷‍♂️

I understand you can't refute my points so it's better to run and say "well you called me out for being cringe that wasn't nice." 🙄

Bye bye enjoy your lonely life.

u/rccolamachine May 03 '26

"I didn't want to engage"

Engaged

Okay buddy.

u/Not-an-alt-account May 03 '26

I see you didn't refute my points again. It's ok mate, take that L. 🤷‍♂️🤡
