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...)

I think a lot of people wouldn't like me as much as they already don't.

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

I'd be assassinated by pig before I took ten steps.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'd be fine, I think. Might find out one or two things about neighbours that they'd rather wasn't known, but I don't think there's anyone who would take great offence at my views, even if they opposed them. And I've nothing I'd want to hide.

I actually kind of like this scenario, as a way for people to understand that what they think about something may be far from the majority position.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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.

Does it apply to people online?

Does it apply to people on a television screen?

Does it apply to videos of people in the past, who have since changed their beliefs?

What do I see if someone has convinced they are somebody else? Whose beliefs do I see?

I kind of understand the premise ("what happens if we can't hide our beliefs anymore") but the details are too important to gloss over

What kinda Googlebook data powers are those that know me better than I know myself?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I’d be fine every where I go unless there’s a lot of religious people around.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Oh no, people now will know I am a stoic communist and real socialist even without me plastering my political believes in each discussion even vaguely related to politics or economics.

Nice

I'm homeless and unemployed by the end of the day and have to flee the state. Both my landlord and general manager are hardcore MAGAts, and I live in a small, remote town in a very red state. It would genuinely not be safe for my politics to be known.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Depends who's looking. Most of the poor and middle class ~~asking~~ align with my views, if I don't say scary words like "communist” and "socialist"; Those with huge incomes might have a problem. And my ex who aligns with my views but votes against them because they somehow think these people care about them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Universal Healthcare? Fuck I'd settle for Healthcare that works.

Just... anything I want anything good, any change possible. Obviously that makes me a 'traitor' to society or whatever. Why does it just keep getting worse?!

So anyway, they'd burn me at the stake.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

People have signs on their front lawn showing who they support. In a way, your hypothetical has been happening for decades. A lot of people don't hide who they vote for.

I'd be okay, especially considering the propensity for violence part of the announcement.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Not very no. I'm probably not a polical anomaly of any kind, but some of my acquaintances might be surprised as I'm usually attributed to more extreme beliefs by those who don't know me as well.
Can't understand why since my voiced opinions aren't different than what the majority holds.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I’d be fine. I’m self righteous and tell everybody my leftists views anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Honestly, I'm not totally sure. I think a lot of people would look at me strangely because of my pretty hardcore libertarian views, though. And I might very well be a target for the police.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I'm an anarchist but I've never wanted to hurt the people around me; so i'm not sure.
