Ask Lemmy

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

Low to moderate. Lower than it would be if I wasn't a white male, because is the world we live in.

I'll be fine, I don't lie about my beliefs, and it's pretty 50 50 here. I'm pretty sure I have some family members that would be sweating about it though.

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.

Idk, how far is that in "freedom units"? Probably fine, the bigots are too far away to get mad at me.

If you’re engaging online at all, or donating to any politicians, the authorities are already aware of your politics.

Depends on the implementation for me. I’m in the southern US. If it just says ‘socialist,’ I’m probably fucked. But if it actually shows policies I support, like ‘everyone is entitled to own the output of their own labor,’ then most people would probably agree with me. People are propagandized against the socialist/communist label, but most of them agree with the policies.

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

People have signs on their front lawn showing who they support. In a way, your hypothetical has been happening for decades. A lot of people don't hide who they vote for.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Fucked

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.

Not very.
