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...)

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.

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

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

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

My right extremist friends would hate me for being too economically and socially left; my left extremist friends would hate me for being too socially and economically right. My progressive friends would be upset that I'm not progressive enough on social issues especially. My neo-con and centrist friends would be upset that I oppose the status queue.

Having said, those who examine their own beliefs would probably not fit any label perfectly either, so basically everyone would hate everyone.

I would look above peoples heads for indication that their beliefs are not inherited from a label, but rather assembled through self-reflection and life experience because those sorts of people are more conducive to openly discussing beliefs and possibly having their opinion change in regards to new information.

The authorities wouldn't give a shit because I'm a law abiding citizen and even though I oppose some of the things our nation does, I do not meaningfully resist and I still participate in capitalism and the other structures that prop them up in power.

Thanks for that moment of self examination. Now I'm standing in front of the mirror judging the political beliefs hovering above my own head! :D

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.

I'll incapacitate all of them with all the extra nuance in the information projected at them. This is how emperor's haki works.

Not at all, I live in Sweden, and like it here.

But since I disagree with our migration policy I might be called racist by some leftist extremists.

I in no way think that all migrants need to "go home" but I do believe we need to take a tougher stance against migrants committing repeated criminal acts.

[–] masquenox 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So, all those leftist "extremists" were correct about you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Eh, I don't believe that if I accept a guest for dinner into my home, I should accept them punching me in the face repeatedly.

If their reaction of me being pissed off at the first punch is a genuine shock and and appology with an explanation of why they did it and them realizing it was wrong, then I could sort of accept it as being a genuine missunderstanding.

Same goes with criminal acts, I can see that a migrant comes from a different culture and might do something that is a crime here, get punnished and learning from it, but if they keep doing it and refuse to learn, then no, they should not be welcome here.

This obviously goes for every nationallity and culture.

If that is racist to you, feel free to block me.

Right, right... it's all the fault of the people who just happens to not look like you, isn't it?

If that is racist to you

No, no, no. Wear your swastika on your sleeve.
