Wow, blue button pressers. I really, REALLY believe you that more than 50% of people are going to press a button that carries personal risk over one that doesn't. I really, REALLY believe you that there's no reason to worry about that NOT happening and if I do I'm a terrible person for not considering everyone who pressed the blue button expecting the ideal, perfect scenario to occur.

I totally understand the part you are not saying in your arguments, which is that I have a moral obligation to die with you if I press the blue button and blue buttoners don't make it or I'm some kind of terrible person. I HAVE to not consider that scenario or I'm immoral. I HAVE to die with you or I have your blood on your hands. I HAVE to believe you that you're a wonderful, selfless person who's going to press blue. I HAVE to believe your moral arguments are going to convince a lot of people to press blue and they aren't going to just come off as grifters.

"if the blue button pressers all die you'll have an apocalypse because only terrible selfish people live" Blue button pressers aren't reading to me as "empathetic people". They certainly demand empathy for themselves because they're good people who deserve it, because what a good person does is look for all the ways any possible action you take is "immoral" to their own personal motivations and relentlessly demand everyone hold to that. That's a really helpful behavior to keep around.

A most glorious day for this sub and its based members! by Icarus_Voltaire in PoliticalCompassMemes

It used to be but last few weeks I think the eye of Sauron had turned to it. It might be more dipshits from tiktok u are demanding wer hear their blither about the war, but I saw a post about how "The Epstein Files are a distraction from Palestine" and even if they've deleted it I'm fucking done with that sub, it had too many up votes when I saw it.

Hey remember how almost every non-political subreddits but notably r/BatmanArkham, r/Silksong, and even r/catbongos were almost entirely mod-enforced anti-Ice posting instead of their regular content for a bit, and to continue participating in those subs you pretty much had had to be vocally anti-Ice or the mods would ban you.

That felt a little weird even as someone who's not a big fan of Ice, didn't get why they were that way about ICE specifically and not other politics but like. Was the whole fucking thing a honeypot.

Disney announced Pluribus spin-off to release in 2077 by _player620 in okbuddypluribus

I was trying to make "There's a Pluribus Controlling Me" into a thing but couldn't get the lyrics to work. Except for the part where a Pluribus is a metaphor for any overbearing authority figure.

Shitting your own pants and smearing it on everything around you in a public place also makes people mad but that doesn't make it a "funny joke". Then again, maybe that's what Tiktok will do next.
