Did you press the red button today? I know I did. Pressing the red button is upholding the status quo, and blue is a sacrifice for the disenfranchised. Blue is more moral, and statistically the best option. Red is still most likely the choice I would make.
When was the last time you volunteered at your local food bank? Much less is on the line, an afternoon compared to your entire life. If you do volunteer you know that it isnt half of your city who also volunteers. It would be a miracle if a single percent of residents volunteered at least once a year. Even then most volunteer around the holidays when people feel more compelled to help, but based on the question there is no planning. If it takes convincing to get people to give up an afternoon, how many will really give up their lives alone in a room?
Did you eat chocolate recently? Where was the choclate sourced? Was it made without slavery? Everything we do is a moral decision and if you dont give up small comforts today, purchacing unethical products and shopping at anti-union businesses like Starbucks or using Elon Musk's twitter (especially in the case of the Mr. Beast poll people love to cite), why should I believe youd risk your entire life tomorrow? I hope blue succeeds, but I know I already presed red today by eating a chorizo and egg burrito. I couldnt tell you what farm the eggs came from. For all I know the pig was in a tiny cage its entire life. Im not saying red is smarter, more ethical, or better in any way. It isnt. But life on the line Im picking red. I know because I already pressed it today
(Also unrelated to my main point, at what point does obligation override bodily autonomy? Im personally against the draft even in WWII when it was objectively good to help the war efforts. I dont think compelling someone to their potential deaths is ever okay. I will never be against dodging the draft even in a moral war, just like how I could never be upset at someone choosing to save their own lives by pressing red)
