I figured out what it's like. Fable 3

In Fable 3:

A big monster army is coming to wipe out the city and you have to make moral choices:

Liberal policies that everyone likes so they are happy until monsters kill them

Or conservative policies that everyone hates so you can raise money to build an army to stop the monsters

One of these moral choices is:

Drain a river so we can mine it for valuable resources and not die.

or ... leave it because it looks nice.... Then all die.

That's exactly what the moral dilemmas Shane keeps responding too feels like.

It's just him being right

Sure, but where does the line get drawn? Because Randall getting away and leading his murdering and raping friends to the farm is a very possible outcome you are justified in ending that threat to the group.
What about someone in the group like Lori who is just an idiot and wrecks perfectly good cars by going off on her own and doing something stupid shit which in turn jeopardizes the group? Should you kill her or kick her out because she is a threat to the survival of the group?

Shane is right in the Randall scenario but has also become so unhinged that we could reasonably believe he might extrapolate that mindset into another semi similar scenario where he could wildly in the wrong.
