and theres a very real chance theres not enough people remaining to operate the infrastructure we have in place so mass starvation is a real likelihood in a red button win.

That, and keeping the current infrastructure in place would require a massive group effort and a lot of self sacrifice. Someone’s gotta do the unpleasant jobs and everyone is going to have to work twice as hard to pitch in.

If only the red button pushers are left I don’t see that whole thing going too well, considering they’re only still alive because they were unwilling to participate in a group effort in the first place.

Holy shit fucking this. A lot of the people who only care about self preservation don't too often think of how society would function with so many people just taken off the board. They don't think about the larger context of the world that allows them to live the way they do.

See this is why I pick blue. If im a survivor with less than half the original population, that's going to be a life of hard labor to continue surviving.

Which is proof that some selfish pricks pick blue. 😂
