@C3nse @ShitpostRock2 The choice is and will always be moral. It’s a choice of sacrificing others for your safety vs trying to save others. That is the core of every moral question ever

@DaVis31887111 @ShitpostRock2 You phrasing it that way doesn’t make it so. You don’t want to live in a world of selfish reds, while I’m fine with stupid blues offing themselves. Making the choice a moral issue is incredibly stupid.
English
@SixSeedStudio @SwordMasterPub Don’t get it twisted you are no hero.
English
@DaVis31887111 @SwordMasterPub Correct.
Everyone who claims they'd do the right thing are the people who try to save themselves first.
People like me who voice their absolute disdain for humanity are ironically the ones who end up being heroic.
Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah in fact he denies it.

RE: Red button vs blue button.
Change the percentage from 50% to 99%. If 99% of the people press blue, then everyone is saved. If you press red you are saved no matter what.
See how that affects your personal decision and the outcome of the poll.
English
@DaVis31887111 @ShitpostRock2 You choose to believe that, and it’s not what I said. There’s your problem.
English
@SixSeedStudio @SwordMasterPub I don’t understand? You think that because no one stopped one instance of violence, no one would be capable of actually defending somone? What about the first responders that go into burning buildings to save people on the daily. Some people genuinely care about others.
English
@DaVis31887111 @SwordMasterPub Also...gotta agree with this guy.
You're all full of shit...none of you is helping anyone in a real situation x.com/i/status/20496…

Nobody in the entire crowd was willing to step in and help a completely innocent woman being stabbed to death on a train. And that's IN THE US!! You really think the average person in the world is lining up to altruistically smash the blue button??
English
@SixSeedStudio @SwordMasterPub They are not inherently killing themselves. When they press blue they give up their right to live and put it in the hands of the people choosing red. The people that would choose red are then faced with the question kill or don’t.
English
@DaVis31887111 @SwordMasterPub Nono they push the button that kills themselves remember...no one is killing them but themselves.
English
@ikirigin @waitbutwhy So on the simplest layer you kill idiots. But then you also kill the people that care about the idiots?
English
@waitbutwhy You press red for survival.
I press red to cull the blue pressers.
We are not the same.
English
Everyone in the world has to take 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?
English
@C3nse @ShitpostRock2 And we arrive at the real reason. You don’t pick red for survival, you pick it to kill those not smart enough to understand. If in your mind you could walk away why wouldn’t you unless your an idiot and choose blue, or you just want to kill people.
English
@DaVis31887111 @ShitpostRock2 If they’re stupid enough to ignore the fact that red guarantees life? Absolutely.
English
@SixSeedStudio @SwordMasterPub The last part was about trans people, the first part was about killing them.
English
@DaVis31887111 @SwordMasterPub You said you agree with the last part about stupid people holding us back about being beyond our solar system already.
Which means you want them gone you just don't wanna do it.
And I don't think you'd be upset if someone else did.
English
@Vanron_Artworks The deceptive wording is intended. Is is forcing a multi-layered question.
1. Red because I survive
2. Blue because we survive
3. Blue are idiots because if we all pick red we all live
4. Red are idiots because the statistical likelihood (with children) of 100% is not possible
English
I am confident that the only reason blue won here is because the dilemma is worded very deceptively.
Red: you don't die and nothing happens to you
Blue: You take part in a death lottery, the result of which depends on every other button presser
Why would anyone press blue?

@teameffujoe Children don’t historically have great reading comprehension so I guess they should die. Retards don’t have great reading comprehension so they should die. Old people don’t have great reading comprehension so they should die. That’s what your saying
English
This isn’t a test of morals it’s a test of reading comprehension.
English
If you press the red button, you are guaranteed to survive, but if you press the blue button you can brag about being a "decent heckin person" for a few minutes before you die.
Apparently this is a tough choice for some people.

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
@C3nse @ShitpostRock2 Okay so in this world where you can just not press a button, you pressing red is legit just pulling a trigger on the people pressing the blue button.
English
@DaVis31887111 @ShitpostRock2 No one who is able to vote is exempt. Your mistake is figuring in this phantom populace that you have to “protect”, because they don’t understand. They don’t exist, because not knowing HOW to vote, automatically exempts you. You gonna grab their hands and put them on a button?
English
@SixSeedStudio @SwordMasterPub Oh no you’ve misunderstood me. I wouldn’t be happy with them dying. I admire the fact that your not afraid to say what you believe, not the fact that you want to kill retarded people.
English
@DaVis31887111 @SwordMasterPub So you agree stupid people are holding us back...you just don't wanna be the guy who votes on getting rid of them...but you'd be happy if someone else did it for you i bet...you just don't wanna admit it.
English
@Kevin72138988 @it_a_me_knowlzy And yet if you accept that the majority are red you’re wrong. The original poll had blue winning so your vote does actually matter. The power of collectivity is great.
English
@it_a_me_knowlzy the blue scenario is to save babies that supposedly pressed blue by mistake
but the reality is that world population is overwhelming red
so there is nothing you can do to save those babies, blue is guaranteed death
English
Is this some weird ass litmus test or something?
Everyone pressing red solves the whole thing I think?
Am I being punked?

English
@NaturalNeonRain @it_a_me_knowlzy Children aren’t smart, so you can assume that a good number of children will die because they like the color blue. By pressing red you are killing them intentionally. By pressing blue you are accepting that to protect people you must have risk.
English
@it_a_me_knowlzy Blue feels like you're saving someone. But you're not.
You're creating the problem (by pressing blue), then saving yourself (by pressing blue).
English
@SixSeedStudio @SwordMasterPub Well to be fair I am in agreement on that last part. But I do think this is just a difference of ethos though. Many people that push red are just doing it for survival. To be honest I respect the fact that you understand your position.
English
@DaVis31887111 @SwordMasterPub I wish...I really fucking do.
I think we would be beyond our solar system already if we didn't let idiots get us hung up on gay marriage trans bathrooms and women's right to be whores.
English
@KrazyRabb1t Yes that’s right. So you believe that retarded people should die solely based on the fact that they are retarded? Now consider children and old people. They may not be capable of understanding this question entirely, so they should die too?
English
There is no reason to click blue, if you do you are legit retarded.

English
@NovaHorizon1 @darlingstrawbie So you would rather be a part of the problem. To choose red and know that it is wrong is to admit you are spineless.
English
@darlingstrawbie Still choosing red. Ultimately I must prioritize my own survival. After that it's a question of trusting others. Living in a deep republican state, the people around me have taught me to not trust them to ever pick the selfless option. I will hope blue wins, but can't rely on it.
English
someone mentioned “everyone” includes children who will have no guidance in their private vote and will probably just hit a random button.
now which do you choose?

English
@SixSeedStudio @SwordMasterPub Okay I get it now. This to you isn’t about a life or death situation, it’s an opportunity to cull the heard and get rid of the people less than you.
English
@DaVis31887111 @SwordMasterPub Stupid people make more stupid people...next thing you know the stupid people gang up on the smart ones.
Death is the best way to keep stupid people in check.
What can I say... natural selection gives us balance.
English
@SixSeedStudio @SwordMasterPub No I am choosing to understand that there are people out there who don’t understand the question like you and me do. I choose to save those people because it is the societal responsibility of the intelligent to protect those who can’t protect themselves.
English
@DaVis31887111 @SwordMasterPub You are such a danger to society lol.
You are convinced you're morally right here for choosing danger and then hoping to convince others into joining the cult and drink the Kool aid
"IF 51% OF US JOIN WE WONT DRINK IT!"
