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…)
Not fucked at all. I agree with my beliefs, and I’m tired of being misunderstood. Having them be visible would be vindicating. I just want to be friends with everyone at the end of the day.
Too bad there are right wing nutjobs that want you dead.
Hopefully there aren’t any of those within 1KM of you.
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’d be fine every where I go unless there’s a lot of religious people around.
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.
Not very. Most people around here are able to coexist despite having different views.
I’m already pretty loud about my political views. At worst, I would probably get pretty irate seeing just how many fascists exist around me, tho.
What kinda Googlebook data powers are those that know me better than I know myself?
Why does everybody think that so many people will just straight up murder everybody who doesn’t share their politics?
Also why would they come for you if you are progessive and leftist? I think, here in Greece at least, it’s far more likely people to be against you if you are a fascist. And I dont think Greece is much of a progressive country.🤷
And besides all that, I think it’s kinda easy to get a rough idea of people’s beliefs anyways.
Because most people on Lemmy secretly (or not secretly) wish they could murder everyone who doesn’t share their politics and are projecting this on other people.
I was sitting in the break room where I used to work and three supervisors were talking about the gun one is them had just bought and was going through the waiting period to pick it up. One of the said he should go into Chicago and shoot liberals with it and they all agreed about it adding to what he should do etc. These are fairly average people too. This was years ago, things have only gotten worse.
Because some of us have lived in places in the US where that’s pretty much been said and demonstrated before.
If you don’t feel that way, consider yourself lucky to have never lived in extremely intolerant areas of the states that use violence against people who think, look, or behave differently.
Edit: Amazing. The people down voting this and other sentiments choose to live in their own little bubble and have never been to parts of the US where this is true. Keep believing what you want to believe then.
Because a lot of people live in countries where “so many people will just straight up murder everybody who doesn’t share their politics”.
I’ll incapacitate all of them with all the extra nuance in the information projected at them. This is how emperor’s haki works.
Low to moderate. Lower than it would be if I wasn’t a white male, because is the world we live in.
I wish everyone could see and understand what I believe. I think it would make it so much easier to talk to people.
A citizen of the world; A left leaning, anarcho syndicalist and when I’m feeling moderate, a democratic socialist. People would think the same thing they already think about me: that I’m a person that is fed up with fascist boot lickers on both “sides” of the rapidly rightward shifting Overton window.
Hmm. You remember how congress used to round up suspected communists?

Oh I’m so fucking dead. Like, queer anarchist factory worker in Ohio dead
