People say you come back. Reincarnation. Do you think so? Well, it doesn't seem mathematically possible to me, man. Uh, 'course at one time what we had on the earth was six people, you know. I avoid "two" because it's controversial but six... most people agree, "fuck, yeah, we had six at one time." Six people, six souls... cool. They died, souls went back to the place; six new people souls- still six souls. Now we have four billion people... claiming to have souls. Someone is printing up souls... and it lowers their value, you know.

Way easier to lie about it. Just pick babies out to be indentured servants for life to repay some imagined debts. Maybe make them feel it was their fault for not paying off the debt previously. We could even target kids from poor families for this, so they have less hope of fighting back.
We did this already, a bunch of times.
Rich people would probably set something up so that their future incarnation inherits their wealth, since it's statistically likely that they'd be reincarnated as someone poorer. I could also imagine a much stronger push to bring the birthrate up even at the cost of using unethical means to force it, because if the population decreases, there wouldn't be enough children born for an increasingly large percentage to reincarnate into
Sue a termite for damages just in case they show up as a human later or charge rent to the birds nesting in your back yard
What do you mean how long would it take? They would be the ones doing the research for that exact purpose.
I would say they would be the one to prove you can track reincarnation.
I give it an hour before someone decides indebted meat is vegan.
It would be done at the same time the technology used to track reincarnation is announced.
Debt bondage is slavery, but it's still a thing unfortunately.

It's the opposite of Jubilee, in that debts are literally forever, rather than released every seven years.
My first thought was Cruelty Squad tbh.
Is this the same person who does Elden Ring lore analysis? They do good shit.
If you're an ssshole don't you come back as an insect or animal? That would mean rich folks would have to do actual good to avoid that. Whatever their policies, after the first few trust fund dung beetles and assorted other multi-lifetime embarrassments, they'd probably snap out of it.
Hey check out the cockroach yacht club guys! Lol, how did that forced birth + soul tracking debt thing work out for you!?
Then like half their debtors would achieve nervana and fuck off to heaven or whatever.
I think the kharma religions, this would take care of itself.
Zulie the Witch has me watching videos that deep dive into lore and filenames for games I've never even played, good channel.
Random zullie the witch haha, they make good yt vids :)
about 10 seconds maybe?
They would fall fast. What would the threat of death mean to a revolutionary? You will fall, and I will see it with my own eyes.
Scientology started decades ago.
They will do year earlier
Joke's on them: can't get blood from a turnip, which is what I figure I'll be reincarnated as with my Karma.
I'm going to get my chicken coop painted one way or another
