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...)

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

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Elaine@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month 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.

[–] FabioTheNewOrder@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month 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

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 1 month 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.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month 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.

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

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month 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.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Only applies to people physically within 1KM, including people above you on a plane (although IDK who flies that low), and also people below you in caves or tunnels. 1KM is any direction above below or diagonal. People who suffer from amnesia or schizophenia or any condition where they don't know who they are anymore, would probably have their info glitching out on the HUD display. And holographic projections like in star wars are still not considered physical presence

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

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The "CRAPITALISM" bumper-sticker isn't enough of a beacon?

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Do the people seeing this know what each term means, or how it's justified? If not, I'm fucked.

Example:

Bernie Sanders would look like (For this example, I'm gonna guess his policies based on what he has said publicaly):

-This person is a Democratic Socialist

-believes in a governmern-run healthcare system where everyone pays into the system via taxation, and for said system to pay for any healthcare expense required by anyone under the the jurisdiction of the system

-believes in retaining a democratic system, as opposed to non-democratic approaches to Socialism, such as Marxism-Leninism

-believes everyone should have access to education for free, from kindergarden all the way to university

-believes that Citizens United Supreme Court ruling should be overturned

[etc... you get the idea?]

[–] Soulcreator@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month 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.

[–] guy@piefed.social 1 points 1 month 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.
