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?

the weird obsession with Hasan Piker clicks into place when you realize that everyone in politics/media is a lifelong nerd, while Hasan looks, to them, like a big strong scary jock who might shove them into the lockers of their youth
