Not only will you die, but so will your entire family and your pets.

This is so you are incentivised to stay alive.

Rules:

  • You cannot refuse this, refusal is also instant death, along with everyone mentioned above.

  • You have absolute authority over the entire world.

  • Every person has a non-removable brain implant that allows them to vote “Approve”, “Disapprove”, or “Abstain from vote”. These are completely immune to hacking.

  • Every above age 18 can vote.

  • You must maintain 50% + 1 vote of “Approve”, exactly 50% Approve / 50% Disapprove still means death for you. “Abstain” is not a vote means it isn’t counted.

  • The effects don’t apply until at least 50% of the population has voted. If you get more 51% disapproval, you’ll still live as long as theres less than 50% of the votes submitted.

  • If someone dies before voting, their vote automatically becomes “Disapprove” (So you don’t get any ideas of committing genocides)

  • Once a vote is submitted, it stays valid even if the person died. A person could also make their implant automatically change vote if they die. So someone could have their vote be set at “Approve” but becomes “Disapprove” upon death.

Any non-corrupt politician would be unstoppable if they honestly attempted to strive for at least a few of these:

  • election reform
  • single payer
  • abolish private medical insurance and fold those companies into a 100% taxpayer funded (Single Payer) national healthcare system much like they have in Canada and South Korea. (Anywhere else doesn’t have true Single Payer.)
  • repeal Citizens United
  • bring back Glass Steagall
  • anti-genocide/ cutting off the infinite money tap that the AIPAC/IDF command
  • prosecute Israel (and the politicians that enabled them in the US should also be tried in front of The Hague) for crimes against humanity
  • prosecute George W. Bush and company for the Iraq war. Imprison them for the rest of their lives.
  • publicly execute Jon Bolton in the most brutal way possible using weapons from arms manufacturers that he openly works for 😅
  • student loan reform (without bullshit means testing)
  • reparations
  • stop spying on US citizens and dissolve the CIA/NSA/FBI’s conflict of interest with ALL tech companies in the US. Facebook is a DIRECT feed to the NSA and law enforcement and that needs to stop not be ramped up under the guise of “protecting us from terrorism” like Kamala asserts and ends up being used solely to go after whistle blowers and protesters.
  • break up the conglomerate farms that our government actively encourages to put poison in our food that they then feed to only poor children in our schools while the rich kids get organic diets.
  • reform the FDA and USDA (compare the list of banned chemicals in the EU to here and tell me that someone isn’t greasing someone’s palms in exchange for POISONING us with roundup, etc)
  • police DEmilitarization
  • stop writing blank checks to the military industrial complex under the guise of “helping”, sending vast sums of money that would EASILY pay for Single Payer to be burned in futile proxy wars with Russia
  • force car companies to make self driving car technology open source and introduce rigorous standards and best practices for this software that is responsible for human lives
  • break up the airline industry
  • break up the banking industry
  • audit the Fed
  • disallow Black Rock and other conglomerates from owning homes
  • disallow real estate purchases from non US citizens
  • disallow real estate price fixing and penalize the companies that did it
  • make college free for EVERYONE and raise taxes on the rich to pay for it
  • force NVidia to open source CUDA/ZLUDA
  • decriminalize marijuana
  • fund a high speed rail system in the US
  • reform the Supreme Court and bring Clarence Thomas up on treason charges under the penalty of death
  • immigrants no longer in cages (rather than ramping up putting immigrants in cages and just marketing it differently)
  • end the embargo on Cuba
  • penalize countries and corporations financially for pollution. Make it prohibitively expensive for Temu, Amazon, SHEIN, and Alibaba to ship their goods over oceans on the worst polluting internal combustion engines on earth: container ships. In reality, it was our Clintonite, globalist Democrats (the good guys!) that actively encouraged corporations to manufacture overseas.
  • reward other countries and corporations financially for green policies
  • dissolve the two party system and bring the DNC and GOP up on treason charges
  • give Edward Snowden immunity for his “crimes” and protect him as a whistle blower
  • fund the fediverse and other decentralized technologies that have a direct positive effect on democracy
  • socialize and break up Amazon into twenty companies
  • open source and decentralize Twitter for the crime of election interference
  • force Amazon, Google, Alphabet, OpenAI, Meta, and Apple to open source at least a large chunk of their tech stacks
  • force pharmaceutical industry to open source their tax-payer funded research and products that were created using government funding
  • socialize Google (for the crime of election interference and others)
  • fund RISC-V chip technologies instead of closed source technologies to bring chip manufacturing back to the US
  • socialize Meta (for the crime of election interference and other crimes)

50% of THE WORLD. You’re dead because I don’t believe anywhere near 50% of China or India cares about most of this list. This is a list of American issues.

My list was preconceived in a comment I made a while back so you caught me there. But as I went back through the list , 80% of what I was proposing would instantly make the rest of the world a better place because the US is basically the villain of the world.

The Jon Bolton execution alone would inspire parades across the Middle East.

We’d first need to know who he is, so who is that guy and what did he do?

That’s true. I mean, I’d welcome all those reforms. Still, at an political level, I’m not sure 50% of the world is politically savvy enough to actual appreciate what these reforms would do.

At some level I’m pretty cynical about the ‘average’ voter. I don’t think it would be possible to come out of this alive. Too many people want what immediately benefits them, not what would make a better world.

For example, the majority of the world is worried about climate change, but it seems like a small minority that would actually vote for useful reforms if it meant they would have to adjust their lives.

You must maintain 50% + 1 vote of “Approve”, exactly 50% Approve / 50% Disapprove still means death for you. “Abstain” is not a vote means it isn’t counted.

All the world’s population is super diverse. Hard to convince them.

So my strategy is to maximise the Abstain voters, and then it’s only a small group of actual voters that I need to convince for my actual ideas.

I manipulate people into believing that all this voting is something super special and complex and first you need to understand lots of things about the whole world before you will be able to make correct decisons etc. This is going to work because most of the world’s population is rather uneducated, so they would feel quite inferior and always vote Abstain.

But then if the actual voters don’t like you you die. The whole thing becomes a lot more volatile.

No different than before.

The whole thing becomes a lot more volatile.

In my opinion it becomes a lot less volatile, because a smaller & less diverse group is easier to convince.

I’m referring to how this actually happens in the US, make it difficult for people to vote and then focus on the group of people that’d vote in a favorable way to you. It’s just that my references are trash.

Eradicate poverty and cars. Hey guess what drivers, you hate driving, that’s why you rush until it’s over. So I’ll make public transit so fast and reliable that driving will finally be treated as primitive as it actually is.

Free apartments for all. Luxury apartments cost money. Unwanted, dangerous, and unpleasant jobs are automated with AI.

All debt is forgiven and you have a clean slate. Everyone now has a credit score of 700. Kickstart your best life.

Happy population means more locally owned businesses, less crime, less mental illness, less of a declining birth rate.

All debt? Does that include companies too?

They’ve borrowed at least billions to grow their businesses, and that sort of money won’t just disappear without a trace. In this case, the trace would probably include economic instability of some sort. There’s a reason why central banks use interest rate to influence borrowing and inflation.

I love driving. That’s why I have two cars. A nice, comfortable, efficient, daily driver that makes my commute nice. And a fun car, for when I want fun.

Ah yes, the classic “driving is fun, it’s just The People that make it stressful”. How many people did you swear at on the road this month? And how many pedestrians did you beep at or inch towards while they were crossing the street?
