You have been randomly selected to become the leader of the world, but if you do not maintain more than 50% approval rating, you immediately die. How do you survive?
You have been randomly selected to become the leader of the world, but if you do not maintain more than 50% approval rating, you immediately die. How do you survive?
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.

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)
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.

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.
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.
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
Know your audience.
Wouldn't even get 10% of American approval. Truly wild and unhinged.
