    I love it when I can guess what a video is before I click it. Exactly what I hoped it would be.

  Similar to false dichotomy. "If we won't do it, <other evil guy> will".

  In game theory, prisoner’s dilemma or maybe stag hunt? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stag_hunt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stag_hunt
