Voting and other things where the behavior of a single individual has relatively little effect. “A single vote does not matter either way, therefore I shall not waste my time voting” versus “I shall vote, for if everybody thought their votes did not matter we’d be screwed”. Or alternatively the same lines of thought when it comes to boycotting big corporations, or donating small sums to charities, et cetera. Which way of thinking is more rational?
