@ObviousRises Dead give away is all the people screaming into their phones in cars. And the children clapping like seals for them.

I had a realization about Leftists, their behavior/beliefs and "morality" all mirror Child Psychology.
"Rich people bad" = Its unfair Tommy has more toys.
By extension
"Open borders" = Everyone should get the same number of cookies.
Or
"Gerrymandering is bad" = Its okay when I hit you but not when you hit me.
And
"I'll protest (riot) and attack" = Toddler throwing a temper tantrum.
Its actually incredible how much you can boil down Leftist logic to: "What would a toddler think and feel?" (And than choose that.) It even explains why they (the child) demands big government (mommy and daddy) to make everything fair for them—they are psychologically (and often physically) dependent.
These are people never mentally matured passed childhood.

@HazelAppleyard No one controls my life. I’ll just be naked 24/7 - money please :)

@owenjonesjourno I agree Owen, it’s so stupid. They should have just shot him in the head and called it a day.

Hold on - what?
If police officers think someone might be carrying explosives, protocol is to kick them in the head repeatedly like this?
Is that actual police protocol?
If so, how is it a wise police protocol?
Can someone explain the reasoning?
Sky News@SkyNews
.@KamaliMelbourne: 'The video of the Golders Green terror attack arrest shows the officers kicking this individual in the head. Is that appropriate force to use?' Met Police Commissioner: "In most situations it wouldn't be reasonable, but in that situation it was reasonable."

@treyton8402 In any scenario you should choose self survival. My life is more important than yours (and vice versa) my only responsibility is to myself and my family. I don’t lose sleep over other people’s choices. They either disappear or nothing changes. Win win.
English
I didn’t even realize until today that literally everyone who choses red has to say a three paragraph essay cope about why “erm actually according to game theory the red button is most optimal…” like just be honest and say you’re a pussy and don’t want to die lol
Treyton@treyton8402
Anyone who votes red button is a pussy or sociopath
English
@Id10tzQuery Blue is only the correct response if you believe all human life is equal in value.
I don’t. I believe my life is more important than yours. And you should believe yours is more important than mine.

Question: do red button people not realize choosing red is why death is even on the table?
kon@k0ncept
question, the blue button people do they not understand human psychology and that humans will act in the best interest of themselves during a life or death decision?
English
@jamesjansson That would be their choice. Individual responsibility. Much like people who make poor life choices, drug addiction, alcohol dependency, financially illiterate. Etc. you can’t help them until they agree to help themselves. Self inflicted risk versus none.
English
The thing about the red/blue button theoretical is that it is true that if EVERYONE presses red, everyone lives. But there will definitely be people who don't understand or don't agree. By pressing red, you are guaranteeing the death of people. That sucks.
English
@theramblingfool Ensure self survival. Acceptable risk that up to 49% or less of people may choose differently and die. If 51% of higher choose differently than me nothing changes.
I don’t make any choice for others. That’s their responsibility.
English
Every Pro-red argument:
(1) Cynicism: "It's impossible for blue to win. Don't be suicidal."
(2) Narcissism: "There is no downside to pressing red."
(3) Changing the hypo: "Babies don't count. That'd be stupid! So there's a blender..."
(4) Psychopathy: "Blue pressers deserve to die."
(5) General poor analytic reasoning: "If everyone just pressed red!"

So two Jewish people got stabbed by a mentally ill guy in the UK, no one died, there’s no evidence that it was a hate crime or that it has any political relevance whatsoever, and yet it still dominated the news cycle way down here in Australia for a full day.
What the fuck, man.

@stuzi_pants The shield. Incredibly well written, acted and one of the best finales of all time. I hate cop shows but this is incredible.
English
Started The Wire from scratch again last night. Managed three episodes in one sitting
I still say that pound for pound it’s the greatest drama series of all time, just edging out Breaking Bad and The Sopranos
Any other suggestions for one of the top spots?
English
@HazelAppleyard This is how dumb people have become. Ignore the real stakes of real life. Lose friends/win points on hypothetical high grounds.
English
I’ve never seen people get more vicious online than they have over this red button blue button thing 🤯
People are attacking each other as if their choices are personally killing their beloved family members for real 😂

@DiscussingFilm Terrible. (Because it’s called resident evil) looks ok. (If named anything else)

The first trailer for Zach Cregger's ‘RESIDENT EVIL’ has been released.
In theaters on September 18.

@matterasmachine Very true! This is why wars of conquest are fought by the generals.

Team Red - "rationality" - is not how civilisation was built.
Ideas are irrational, often wrong and sometimes make you die poor even if you were right.
If everyone was Team Red, civilization would not exist and we would eat bananas on trees.

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.
English
@dmsdens @XC_Enel True, Assuming 49% evaporated overnight all economies word wide would be destroyed instantly and short term everything would be difficult as the system is running on this level. But I believe a rebalancing would happen as if nothing else we’d have an over abundance of resources.
English
“If you press red you always survive so only stupid people would pick blue” probably goes hard as an argument if you’re 15 and fail to take into account what even a 10-20% loss of population would do to the world + all the children you'd lose.

English
@Ladym0narc @Wambulogy I am ok with up to 49% or civilization ceasing to exist when it is their choice. Populations have more than doubled in my lifetime. Less strain on the systems, resources and livelihoods of those remaining will be better - or the same. No net negatives.
English
@EzeasPi @Wambulogy Choosing red is literally putting fear over logic. If you think red is the logical answer to save lives either youve never seen or been around a large group of people or you're okay with murdering people. Everyone includes children, the elderly, and disabled
English
I keep seeing folks being like "If EVERYONE picks Red, then everyone survives."
But like.. the same is true for everyone picking Blue, right? The majority picking blue prevents ANY death.

@Pollokatti @KuroSekaiAnime This supposes that every person is integral to the survival of the species or the operation of the systems that govern us. Being the population has more than doubled in my life time, endless growth is impossible. Losing up to 49% of people would not hinder long term survival.
English
@EzeasPi @KuroSekaiAnime Red risks short term survival for long term death.
Sure, if red wins, you won't die instantly. However, the consequence of killing everyone who pressed blue (which will be a lot), is the collapse of the systems which we rely upon.
English
Let me break this down
>People will press blue
>its inevitable
>Pushing red sacrifices these people but saves you
>clicking blue saves everyone with risk
> 50% is a small requirement
> So as many people as possible should press blue to save everyone
> clicking red is selfish

@YuletideFrost Put your own oxygen mask on first to ensure you are safe and then can consider helping others.

The red button kills blue button voters. Youd be okay with killing billions including children bc you wrongfully assume EVERYONE would pick red?
Ryan@YeezyTaughtMe72
@flackospalace Red is the right choice it’s 100% survival. I wouldn’t put my trust in the rest of the world to make the right choice. At the end of the day if we all pick red we all live with certainty.
