I think 99.9% would make the same choice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] andyburke@fedia.io 4 points 4 hours ago (2 children) She chose to betray her associates to improve her own situation. You may believe 99% of people would make that choice, but I don't think you have any evidence for that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 15 points 3 hours ago (1 child) They were threatening her family. If you know anything about the FSB you know these are not idle threats. She chose to cooperate to prevent harm to her family and at the same time tried to get out from under the assignment she got from the FSB. Reducing this to a prisoners dilemma is really not helpful for predicting real people's responses to situations like that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] andyburke@fedia.io 3 points 1 hour ago Her family is safe now? I doubt it. This is exactly the prisoners' dilemma and why that thought experiment exists. Russia is happy someone as visible as this is showing they were turned. This sucks all around, for her, for anyone who hates fascism. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lennybird@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago* By all means then, head to Russia and fight the good fight then, buddy! Lead by example. Prove me wrong. permalink fedilink source parent
