Think of it like a video game HUD where there’s just text floating above a person’s head where you see all their political beliefs, including the degree of bigotry (if any), or whether or not the person believes in the use of violence to acheive polical goals, basically every little detail that would accurately depict people’s political beliefs. Your beliefs are also visible to others. This effect has 1KM radius, including people above and below you.
So, how fucked are you?
(Think of all the authorities in your area that can see your beliefs, including the beliefs regarding the recent incident…)
If you’re engaging online at all, or donating to any politicians, the authorities are already aware of your politics.
Depends on the implementation for me. I’m in the southern US. If it just says ‘socialist,’ I’m probably fucked. But if it actually shows policies I support, like ‘everyone is entitled to own the output of their own labor,’ then most people would probably agree with me. People are propagandized against the socialist/communist label, but most of them agree with the policies.
Depends on the specific “socialism” you believe in.
For example, I still belive in a democratic system, I just want less of capitalism. So its would probably show me as either “Social Democrat” or “Democratic Socialist”. But it would also show my opposition to those “Marxist Leninist” variants of “Socialism”. Like “Opposed to the ‘communists’ in USSR and China” would probably be one of the labels that it shows.
Well, lucky I live in a blue city, so hopefully nobody would attack me for it.
If you explain your specfic beliefs before you get shot, maybe you could survive? Maybe…
Why be satisfied with just a little justice? Why be satisfied with a little more crumbs, and not going for the full lot?
Social democracy has proven to have some degree of sucess.
Those Vanguardism types such as USSR and China only devolves into totalitarian regimes just with a different group of capitalists in power. China has nothing that resembles what real socialism should be, its just capitalism under a different banner.
China has lifted more people out of poverty than any country or economic system in history. You can’t do that under capitalism, because the gains are too concentrated. You’ve just been propagandized against China.
I lived in China, I have first-hand experience. Don’t get me wrong, I hate capitalism, and China is a capitalist state, just like the US.
Then how did they lift a record number of people out of poverty? Capitalism creates more poverty. Not less.
I’ll be fine, I don’t lie about my beliefs, and it’s pretty 50 50 here. I’m pretty sure I have some family members that would be sweating about it though.
Every little detail would probably cause some issues. Someone walking around here “advertising” racism would have some real problems as where I live is very mixed. There are probably a lot of people riding the edge of violence for a multitude of reasons, assumed rage over politics-based slights absolutely being one of them. I don’t think I’d have too many personal problems, considering my “hard-left” leanings revolve around trying to make lives better for everyone.
Might help if you got within a km of a politician, you could tell pretty quick how full of shit they were. There’d be some serious upheaval, I think.
Idk, how far is that in “freedom units”? Probably fine, the bigots are too far away to get mad at me.
Like maybe 3 minutes uninterruped in car driving distance?
Is that 'murican enough? 😉
😂
About 11 football fields.
Florida here. Had a Bernie bumper sticker from the early days of his campaign til the end of Trump’s admin. Only ever incited two interactions, both were physical threats.
So, it probably wouldn’t go well.
I’m in Oklahoma. Considering this question makes me nervous.
Funny. I moved from Oklahoma to California in March. I couldn’t take the idea of raising my daughter there. It’s nice here, I suppose, but I see almost as many trump flags here as I did there. Granted, there are way more people here so it’s only natural they do exist. I just didn’t think they would be so open about it. I’m sure some of that has to do with where in California I’m at, but it made me realize this shit is everywhere. At least, for now, my daughter will have access to what she needs or wants in the event something awful happens or if she decides she’s not who she was born as.
Long story short, these right wing nuts are very much displaying their politics for the world to see, no matter where they are.
I’m living on the outskirts of a rural town. People have trump flags flying on my street. I’d be totally fucked.
Same. I wouldn’t leave the house unarmed.
Putting up a lawn sign is about the limit for physical activity for most of that crowd. You’d be fine. Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and and dodge!
RIP In Peace
At least you can find out who is a secret liberal or leftist in your area right before you die.
Low to moderate. Lower than it would be if I wasn’t a white male, because is the world we live in.
I’m an anarchist but I’ve never wanted to hurt the people around me; so i’m not sure.
Oh, everybody can already see that. I’m a man in my 30s and I still wear my punk vest everywhere. My feelings on cops, Nazis, and fascists are made pretty clear on it, while anyone who recognizes basic anarchist emblems will see those too. It doesn’t do a perfect 1:1 job of communicating my beliefs, but I’m more open and specific with what I believe than any coward in a red hat
It sounds like you might need to grow up brother
You aren’t my brother, none of them are cowards or bootlickers
I’m pretty fucked. First of all it’s going to be several paragraphs because I don’t neatly fit an ideology and then there’s something to piss off every group.
Well considering politics isn’t something I’ve spent a lot of my time thinking about, and I suspect my ideas are somewhat under developed. Because of which I’d love to take a look at that scoreboard and see what it says about me. Because I have no clue what I truly believe anymore.
Not very. Most people around here are able to coexist despite having different views.
As a something-between-liberal-and-leftist-with-a-hint-of-arm-yourself-to-fight-the-increasingly-popular-Nazis (is there a word for this?) in the middle of the cousin-fuckingly deep south… yeah I probably wouldn’t even survive the trip home from work.
I’d be fine. I’m self righteous and tell everybody my leftists views anyway.
