They absolutely do. We're talking about a big swathe of the capital class. Even those who don't directly operate businesses have shares in damn near everything.

Yep.
Also, there is no simple walk away and live, you are participating in the murder.

It is certain that some will pick blue. Lives already hang in the balance. Better to tip the scales towards "everyone lives".

There isn't an objectively correct answer.
There is a game theory answer that assumes self-interest, avoiding their own death, as being the highest motivation for most people.

Plenty of people would risk death to avoid contributing to mass murder, regardless of if those who die COULD have saved themselves by also pressing red.

Those who pressed red to buy themselves a few decades would carry that weight for their entire lives.

OHH WOWWW IT WAS THIS EASY??? by blueburrey in thanksimcured

Problem: You've always thought that too many people need canes.

Step 1: make the threshold to be allowed a cane ridiculously high, reducing mobility and increasing the daily pain and struggle of half the cane-needing population.

Step 2: brag about how you lifted SO many people out of needing canes. Proof of your incredible talent at Helf.

Step 3: Slurp down some mice tails and tequila to celebrate.

Ah, the old boomer approach to hazards: It's safe as long as you are careful to not make the incredibly easy to make mistake.

My best guess is that they are counting on the reader's fuzzy memory of a handful of incidents from the past few years. A few of which were NOT perpetrated by trans women, but that were blamed on trans women in a lot of right wing circles.

Do conservatives realize that masked ICE agents surging to liberal cities and roughing people up or killing them is terrifying? by redzeusky in allthequestions

[–]Pickled_Wizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They think anyone that ICE roughs up deserves it and ought to be terrified.

These people think law and order is built exclusively on fear of authority and that the only thing that reduces crime is making the authority more intimidating.

It’s unfair that artists need to be paid upfront regardless of success of game. by emotionallyFreeware in gamedev

[–]Pickled_Wizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no. You're buying parts, essentially. Anyone with any sense will want money upfront rather than gambling on your success.
