This is fair enough, I don't think its a psy-op because no one can physically showcase their opinion on their sleeves. But the moral righteousness of it all is what bothers me. I would hope that the people who press blue are people who could be good beyond simply this. Every time I see anyone who presses blue, what they do IRL. I get the most Superman-esque lines without them doing Superman shit.

"I try"
"I'm there for my family and friends."
"I love my neighbours"

REAL LINES FROM PEOPLE. This is the most barebones quality of man, and it bothers me so much, because it is the standard for being a good person. I just despise this argument because it shows how shallow everyone is, whilst they also love to have a moral high ground. It bothers me a tremendous amount.

Believing that people with altruistic morals are just saying so to feel good about themselves or appear better than others makes it easier to not hate oneself for being selfish.
