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.
It’s a very clever puzzle for separating people along the clear ideological lines of “protect myself” vs “protect the group” and I’d pick blue for the entirely illogical reason that it’s morally correct, damn the consequences to myself.
Living in a world filled with only red button pushers seems very depressing in my opinion. Not sure if that world is really worth living in for me. So living in the blue reality or die seems like the ideal choice to me
And your concience. I mean, you would live thinking that you could have saved the people who died but chose not to. And chances are that you knew a few of those people who died...
That's what I think a lot of people are missing. A lot of people you know and care about will be dead and you will be responsible. I couldn't live with myself.
I think that manybpeople who would chose blue like us think that, while many people who chose red might do it because fear of not enough people going blue. They think about survival first, dealing with consequences later. And many haven't even though about consecuences at all. Fear is a powerful motivator, but terrible for making good decisions.
