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.
Universal healthcare for all.
Free blowjobs
That’s 50% taken care of now for the 1 extra vote to stay alive, how hard could it be to please a single woman …
Establish a system where voting Approve provides tangible personal benefits, Abstaining remains a safe, comfortable default, and Disapproving results in immediate personal drawbacks. Maintain a decent standard of living, encourage open non-violent expression, and quickly address problems so people rarely feel compelled to choose Disapprove. By making Approval the path to greater prosperity, Abstention harmless, and Disapproval costly, the majority either Approve or simply do nothing, ensuring that discontent never coherently organizes into a mass disapproval large enough to threaten your life.
There is no way. People would say they disapprove just to watch you fucking die, even if you gave them everything they wanted. Fuck that.
How often do these vote cycles occur? I would argue that most distuptive changes will make things worse before they change to the better.
Ending capitalism, forgiving all debt etc. will lead to huge chaos in the short and medium term. Even thought in the long term, it might turn into a much better system, you’d need a lot of time to rebuild society and people to see the positive in it.
I think that’s also an issue of today’s democracies. If you’re elected, you have just a relatively short period of time before the next election. If you aim for big reforms, you might be still in the ‘make things worse’ phase after the first legislation period and people will vote for an opposing party. They undo everything you did, again making things worse without ever achieving their own vision.
Basically, in this hypothetical, people jusr submit a “approve” or “disapprove” via their brain implant, and it gets instantly gets counted (for “plot magic” reasons okay). Once submitted, it remains that way until the person change it. It can be changed any time.
Example: In the morning, they see news of you giving out money to everyone, check their bank and voila money, they are happy and they vote “Approve”. In the afternoon, they get news report of you are helping minorities, and oopsie the same person is also a racist and didn’t like that you are helping the minorites which they hate, so they change it to “Disapprove”. People could also set it to automatically change to “Disapprove” upon death in order to disincentivise you ordering their execution. If they never summitted any votes, and they die, its also a “Disapprove”.
TLDR: There are no “election cycles” you are constantly being judged.
Then, I think your best chances of survival would be being as invisible as possible. Only react to urgent issues, don’t address systematic issues and if you’re forced to give a statement, remain vague and unclear. It’s not great for society in the longterm but I think any disruptive change will make people confused, annoyed, insecure or angry. Even though they get used to the change quickly or even like it, instant voting will be your death sentence.
Another strategy may be to distract people from issues. Sport events, drugs, parties, censorship. Keep up the illusion of everything going well while the world goes down the drain.
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)
Wouldn’t even get 10% of American approval. Truly wild and unhinged.
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.
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.
The question mentions that whatever I wanted would instantly come to fruition.
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?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bolton
Iraq War and profiteering off of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of deaths across the Middle East and the rest of the world.
Yeah fair enough. Please if anyone here becomes king of the world fucking kill this guy.
Imao, imagine doing every good thing, but then people are apathetic and doesnt vote, and only people whom are disapproving of you, votes.
IMHO this is the most likely scenario
You’d die as a result of apathy.
Start with what you know
Rig the approve system.
Easy. High taxes on the rich and spend that money to give good universal social programs, and also avert climate catastrophe. The tiny fraction of rich people will disapprove but screw them anyways.
The hard part is getting the political will to do the obvious right thing when politics is controlled by the rich.
spend most of the budget on propaganda & surveillance. let everyone see what they want, create fake accounts that will only be shown to certain people that make points about my competition that they disagree with. Also engage in pop culture. Then, create an utopia. If I fail miserably, I have a portible panic button which will launch every singe nuclear bomb and destroy the whole planet.
Step 1. Ask the world for 1 year decision amnesty while I get my bearings.
Step 2. Bring together the different government run hacking groups and direct them to obtain the root certificates the devices use to communicate back to the tallying servers.
Step 3. Rewrite all death votes to be approved.
Step 4. Scrub the internet of this entire thing. Because if it isn’t on the internet then did it really happen?
Step 5. What world leader? You all vote for your own national governments.
Step 6. Return to be a nobody because fuck that pressure.Nah, you cant hack this shit because it has plot armor. Call it “magic” “divine intervention” or whatever, you just cannot hack it.
I mean you can put out propaganda to manipulate people, but you cannot hack the system, its just has unhackable firewall.
Ok, absolute power route it is.
All proposals must be voted yes by the populus.
Lolol this is the 2nd comment point this out.
C’mon I just wanna a fun scenario, why ya gotta point out the plotholes? 😅
Well don’t give us absolute power mate. :D
If I have absolute control of the media, this seems ridiculously simple. I’ve no interest in material possessions or the hoarding of wealth, so I’ll implement large scale tax reform designed to reduce our current levels of income inequality, kill oil subsidies in favor of green tech investment, truly universal worldwide healthcare, and mandated percentage worker ownership of companies.
The problems of our world are manufactured by those currently in power in order to enrich themselves. While it might take a few generations to fix the communities plagued by religious toxicity with widespread access to a good, secular education, I truly believe that limiting the capitalist’s ability to rape and pillage would be enough to maintain widespread popular support. Provided, of course, that those capitalists can’t use their control of the media to discredit and slander me to the point people vote against their own self-interests.
No more homework, ice cream for everyone, bedtime is at midnight instead of 9
No more homework
Parents immediately disapprove, you dead
💀
- build a childhood museum early on
- change all industry buildings from sweat shop to easy does it
- enact the Bribe Faction Leaders, Food for the People, Free Housing, National Day, Social Security, Hola Presidente, Sensitivity Training, Papal Visit, and Pollution Standards edicts
- make sure average pay is above Caribbean pay
- use the cathedral to claim any Tropicans that are peacefully protesting me are heretics
- have a nuclear weapons program to protect against invasion from the US and USSR
- ensure diverse food and entertainment
- hold all scheduled elections and give a speech every each one acknowledging the lowest happiness variable and promising to do something about it, while also praising the least happiest faction
Make up some bs problems and be the one to fix them, I suppose
Year 1: Eliminate Food and Water poverty.
Year 2: Porn is legalized everywhere, and there’s a world government official porn site that’s always free. Free smartphones for everyone as well.
Year 3: Universal Housing and sewage.
Year 4: Sex work is legalized everywhere (this might be popular enough to coast you an extra year) and ensured to be safe for the sex workers.
Year 5: Universal Child care
Year 6: Drugs are legalized everywhere
Year 7: Universal Elderly care (+ free healthcare for the USA weirdo country)
Year 8: Universal Education and media translation to top 10 most spoken languages. Also the top media franchises of each existing country will be freely available online now as well in a “cultural digital vault”.
Year 9: Eliminate country borders, issue new universal passport, set up new cultural ethnic / geographical regions instead that exist only to help with political and business management. Begin 5 year disposable plastics phase out (medical exception though), eliminate plastics and pseudoplastics from foods and cosmetics, Worldwide public transportation system + Continental Hypertrain System project. Set up a world government that can only be compromised of elected STEM degree holders that have a job in their role, and bars anyone that has ever owned / owned a company or worked in any petroleum based industry. Esperanto is also more the official world government language, Linux and FOSS official world government software usage, and lawyers can now only work under the government for fixed rate. Everyone has access to a lawyer by right. These foundational laws cannot be changed.
Also announce I have been contacted by extraterrestrial life, and was told they will greet us if we survive the great filter and set up solar system wide travel and infrastructure as a species. Oh, and limit wealth/assets to be no higher than 200 million euros equivalent (inflation adjusted) worth. There will be a new currency set up as well.
Year 10: Announce I’m “retiring” from direct rule but will intervene if 57% of the world votes for me to enact something. Die probably. If the alien and world government gambit does pay off, maybe coast off previous popularity for a couple years and just have fun until summoned or dead.
