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’d be assassinated by pig before I took ten steps.
I’d say pretty fucked because people with suppressed bigotry who didn’t publicly express those views due to shame, societal expectations etc now have an easy way to find each other as well as their enemies. They’ll also have no more reason to try to hide their intentions. And unfortunately I feel like there might be more of those people than people willing to stand against them.
I’m already pretty loud about my political views. At worst, I would probably get pretty irate seeing just how many fascists exist around me, tho.
No one cares about anyone’s political views. The world will carry on like normal.
I’m in Oklahoma. Considering this question makes me nervous.
Funny. I moved from Oklahoma to California in March. I couldn’t take the idea of raising my daughter there. It’s nice here, I suppose, but I see almost as many trump flags here as I did there. Granted, there are way more people here so it’s only natural they do exist. I just didn’t think they would be so open about it. I’m sure some of that has to do with where in California I’m at, but it made me realize this shit is everywhere. At least, for now, my daughter will have access to what she needs or wants in the event something awful happens or if she decides she’s not who she was born as.
Long story short, these right wing nuts are very much displaying their politics for the world to see, no matter where they are.
