Time reverses to the moment of your birth with your memory reset, but you are now in an alternate universe where a global authoritarian government took over the world. (Continued in body of post) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Too long to fit in the title...

Question: In such timeline, Do you think you would grow up to become pro-government or anti-government? Why?

So, basically, the point of the question is: Do you think your political beliefs are shaped mostly by your DNA, or by the environment you grew up in?

For example: If you are an anarchist in this timeline, would you have been a government sympathizer had you been born in an environment where dissent is suppressed worldwide?

My Answer: Honestly, I'm not sure, but I have a lot of rebellious nature of me, I think that's just who I am, I think that's already part of my DNA. I highly doubt I would be pro-government, but probably also be much more afraid of the government in that timeline than in current timeline.

What kind of government? Am I born into a group that benefits from whatever the government is doing?

There is always a group of people that benefits from a government. Authoritarian governments that tends to be much less than the 50% required to win an election.

I am much more likely to support a government that does not see me as a questionable element and potentially an enemy of the state.

Adding more to this

If i am not in that group, what about their corruption, paperwork and law enforce?

Example of enviroment Why this 2km road contrucstion stop working? How long does it take to get my id? My neighbor have loud noise everyday?
