Step 1: Seize all assets above 0.99 billion

Step 2: No more billionaires

(Now you got a bunch of money to redistribute)

I would just buy the government, install my self as a dictator.

Now for my agenda:

Universal Basic Income

Fair wages

Strengthen Union Rights

Universal Socialized Healthcare

Equal Rights

Paid Holidays

More Vacation Times

Progressive taxation

etc. etc. all the good things

Then order statues of me built in every major city. Schools will have to teach of how benevolent I am. I will live on forever as the greatest benevolent dictator ever.

Then create a constitutional framework that is both democratic, and establish socialism as one of the goals of civillization. Incorporate the concept of Defensive Democracy with socialism entrenched into the constitution. Eventually, socity will be equal, and the state is no longer necessary. Add a clause that allows people to disband the state if 60% of the people want to.

With these rules, hold elections, while I oversee everything to make sure its working correctly. And once I have ensured the stability, I will resign, and enjoy life.

(Okay maybe I daydream too much. But I always want to be the best benevolent dictator in history of humankind 😅)

"middle class" is more like "upper working class"

Omg, when I was still in school, I was always wondering if classmates were laughing at some stupid tiktok or laughing at me.

Also, they don't get paid while its shutdown, only after the shutdown they get the backpay, And before 2019, they didn't even get the packpay.

Nazi riots would happen all over the place.

In States with Democratic governors and Blue states with RINO governors, those riots will get suppressed with the state National Guard

And democratic officials might actually start begin to be slaughtered.

Nah, they got their own bodyguards, that and their state law enforcement and National Guard, they're safe. Jan 6 only went that far because the person with authority over the DC national guars was himself the orchestrator of the plot. And neighboring state National Guard cannot (legally) cross states lines without permission.

Wear earbuds and just start talking to yourself, if someone interrupts you, just say you are talking on your phone, and point at your earbuds. Congrats, now you make someone else feel awkward 😎

I'm no security expert, but I feel like forks are gonna have delays in updates, so for security, you should always get as close to the source as possible.

Firefox is open source and shouldn't be tracking you anyways.

 

Sorry if this is a weird question. I'm bored and randomly thought about reincarnation and started wondering, thought this would be a fun question. 😉


Rules:

  • All your current memory is instantly transferred when you fall asleep one night (you don't get any prior knowledge of this so you won't be able to make any preparations), then when you wake up, you are in the body of a random North Korean kid living in Pyongyang somewhere between age 10 and 14 and matching your gender assigned to your original body at birth (I'm sorry, I know this would be a struggle for those that don't identify with their gender assigned at birth, but it's part of the challenges of this hypothetical)

  • All psychological health conditions are also transferred (unfortunately)

  • Your new host body would not have any physical disabilities and is mostly healthy (sort of)

  • You don't have any of your host body's original memories, they're gone. (Edit: You retain any language that your host body's original consciousness have learned, but no memories) Their consciousness was overwritten by your consciousness's arrival and they, unfortunately, died. That consciousness wouldn't know or feel anything, it just vanishes, poof.

  • The person who was originally you in your old body, would immediately die during sleep, at the moment of the consciousness transfer occuring. Doctors could not find a cause of death, and its marked as "Unknown Cause of Death". No foul play would be found, no one would ever get falsely suspected by authorities of murdering you.


So how do you survive?

How do you plan your escape, or are you even gonna try?

Curious since it's being talked about in the news.

 

Inportant fact to consider is that: Political gerrymandering is a "non-justicable political question" according to the supreme court, meaning the courts claim they have no constitutional power to decide this, and its up to congress (via passing a bill with the president's approval) to decide if it should be legal, and in the mean time, it's currently legal.

Republicans have been gerrymandering in red states.

Democrats in blue states on the otherhand, are either currently using non-partisan or bi-partisan commitees/commissions to draw the districting maps, or are in the process of switching to said methods of drawing the districting maps.

This mean that the house would become tipped in favor of republicans.

California and New York surely has a lot of red districts that we can gerrymander out of. The question is: Should Democrats do that? Should Democrats play dirty like republicans have? (Again, supreme court have said that political gerrymandering is legal)

Because I fear that we would have republicans perpetually in control of the house even if Democrats have the most votes nationwide.

I mean, is "Deny, Defend, Depose" equivalent of "Let's kill [Person]"?

To me it seems more of a "It'd be a shame if [Person] died" and not a direct threat. So do y'all personally think its considered a direct threat? And how would a court of law (in the US) see the phrase "Deny, Defend, Depose"?

I'm asking because I've seen a number of comments removed for that phrase, including one of mine.

 

Mine was about 24 hours ago (yes I haven't sleept for a while) when in the dream, I was taking a train for some reason, and then everyone around me suddenly became zombies. Creepy.

My other dream was less weird, just my electronics started dying, then I looked outside my window and a nuke was going off in the distance and I realize my electronics got killed by the EMP of the nuke, then I woke up right before the shockwaves hit.

What are your weird dreams?

 

I knew it, Johnny has been sus this whole time!

 

Like imagine, one day... you turn on the news and see... "Breaking News: In a joint statement, the United Nations Security Council revealed that there has been an effort to conceal the existence of extraterrestial life that have arrived on our planet more than 50 years ago...". Its the trending top google search result, everyone on the internet is talking about it. How would you react. What would be the reactions of your relatives, friends, neighbors, and everyone else, and what would the front page of Reddit and Lemmy look like?

 

Prominent people like Politicians, CEOS, etc...

 

I know Lemmy has the ACAB sentinment, and I get it, I don't trust them either. But real talk tho, there are some scenarios where you might not have other options.

So... the question is: When, if ever, would you call for law enforcement? And if you distrust law enforcement, is there ever a situation where it gets so bad that you just have to risk involving law enforcement?

 

-Anyone saw the news about South Korea and their political situation? Imagine that situation happening in your country...

 

Lets say you live in a world where the world government has decided people are getting too addicted to the internet and ordered the internet to be shut down for 5 years. The 100 GB of storage is all you have (excluding essential system files for your Operating System). You have 24 hours before the internet is getting shut down. What do you download?

 

No using search engines or calculator, just imagine you were given these choices in jail and got 30 seconds to choose.

Would you rather have the executioner (Please excuse my use of firearm terminology, I'm not an expert in guns):

[A] Load 1 chamber of 6 and spin before pull the trigger 6 times (spinning the chamber after each pull)

or

[B] Load 2 chamber of 6 and spin before pull the trigger 3 times (spinning the chamber after each pull)

or

[C] Load 4 chamber of 6 and spin before pull the trigger once

If you survive, you are pardoned of all crimes you've committed in the past and get to leave prison (alive, obviously), no compensation tho. (Attempts to end your own life is illegal)

Which of these options would you pick?

No search engine, no calculator pls. I'm bored and wanna make this fun. 😉

If you are confused, ask in comments.

Edit: Reworded it to clarify that the chamber is spinned before the first trigger is pulled.
