If you were dictator


Recommended Posts

Mackenzie Holiday

1. I would make a thread in Hot Box each time I need to make a decision on something as dictator, and choose my course of action based on the post that got the most likes. That probably means I’ll end up with many shitposts and memes as the posts to base my official actions on, so I’d be known to history as the funny dictator.

2. I wouldn’t have to follow the top ten list format, because I’m a dictator.

3. I liked Charlie Chaplin’s film The Great Dictator.

4. There is no 4.

5. There is a 6, though.

If you were dictator, what is the top ten priorities you would have? Order them from highest to lowest priority. Feel free to go beyond ten if you're that passionate about it. Or less, for any reason, yeah. 

 

You are dictator of your home country, from now until you personally feel no longer fit for duty. Unless something incapacitates you, which would be unfortunate. 

1.Kill all rapists and identified pedophiles

2.Have the Military build a unit where they house all the orphaned children waiting to be adopted 

3.Abolish all homeless shelters/Replace them with facilities that will identify each homeless persons needs and send them to the right place 

4,Create public housing that is available for anyone with a fulltime job that is based on the persons income 

5.Create a leadership program that identified leadership skills in young middle schoolers and trained them for future leadership careers 

6.Create a school system which breaks kids into tracks of minor/Major program after 5th grade 

7.Have child psychologist give mandatory parenting classes/Which all new parents are required to take or risk having their children taken away 

8.Have a sex Ed class designed by a person who has a PHD psychological child development, a PHD in Human Biology and a third person holding a PHD in Nutritionist. This will not be called "Sex Ed" but labeled "Health and Healthy human development". 

9.Also have a program where kids are tried by peers when they commit a crime. If the verdict, is they are Expelled, Suspended or sent to detention it will be handled by the school. If not they will be sent to Juvinall hall/While also redesigning the Jail system by A, B, C, D crimes where D is volunteer work. C is few months in jail. B is several years and A is Death. Juvenile hall will have no A lot but will be held till they are adults and tried as adults. 

10.Have a hall in the middle of every city built where they reguarly have BALLS! that everyone can attend.

You all can elect me as your Supreme Savior whenever you are ready.

1. Figure out exactly what my support base and powers are. How far can I go, can no one stop me, and will they change anything if I lose power?

2. Upon realising I have absolutely power and an unshakeable support base, I panic and worry I'm going to go mad with power.

3. Summon a load of experts in government, science, industry and worker union leaders and explain the situation. I can do anything, what should I do? Do the same online and with proper paper referendums.

4. No matter the result, push through some obvious fixes to the system. Anything that really aids climate change, go for. Tax loopholes? Shut. Corporations and billionaires can pay their share or be ejected from the country, to be replaced by smaller business that employ more people and do actually pay tax.

5. Go through and fix key infrastructure. Road networks, rail, figure out where nuclear power plants can go without too much envormental impact on their construction and operation. Etx.

6. Revise the UK unwritten constitution a bit. Alternative vote system, representative voting, abolish the monarchy, reclaim the crown estate, gut the house of Lords and start again, shut parliament down, move it to another city and rebuild Westminister Palace as its falling to bits. Devolve an English parliament to match the Welsh and Scottish ones. Either figure out a northern Irish border deal or rejoin the EU.

7. Having set my house in order, got the economy a bit more balanced and efficient, go on a massive public spending spree of investment. Boost all public sectors, especially justice (underfunded massively since the 80s), revitalise the NHS, benefits and workers benefits.

8. Go through laws and fix the broken ones. Copyright for at maximum the lifetime of the creator, probably less than that. Full and equal rights for all humans, as defined by various panels consisting of representatives from as many different backgrounds and identities as possible. 

9. Having sorted all that, in terms of foreign policy, lobby heavily for increased public spending across the board towards preventing climate catastrophe, punishing tax dodging global firms and restricting money laundering of dodgy sources. Encourage the world to look at the benefits the new systems have brought in etc.

10. Resign, having established a stable functioning democracy that will survive my absence, and make it difficult if not impossible for anyone to ever amalgamate that much power and influence again. Indeed, so far as possible, rewrite history and make it out that it was the collective will of the country that made things the way they are, rarher than one person.

 

Off the top of my head, that's it.

Lysandre, the Star-Crossed

1. Allocate agencies and resource to the active destabilization of Central and South America.

2. Pivot foreign aid money to buying land and creating jobs and communities there.

3. Slowly expand our borders to encompass all of the Americas, then pull all troops and resources back from overseas.

4. Terraform artificial islands to send dissenters to.

5. Build a unified nation on socialist principles, one entirely independent of Asia, Europe, and Africa.

1-Death penalty to violent criminals and any crime severe enough to warrant life in jail in western society.

Death by firing squad. After a fair trial only.

 

Organs of healthy inmates get harvested for organ donation.

 

2-Heavy investment on infrastructure and job growth.

 

3-Low government red tape to start businesses.

 

4-A respected position within the global community. 

 

5-No speed limit on the passing lane on highways. In fact, if you dare go in it driving under 120km/h...there would be a jail sentence and fine.

 

6-Strict prohibition on littering. Any violators would be forced to clean entire neighborhoods for a month or face stiff jail time.

 

7-No government red tape on travel. Simply be eligible via age and lack of criminal record.

 

8-Heavy investment on being a global leader on clean energy.

 

9-Subsidized housing provided for the lower income with preconditions. IE trashing the place, subjects you to stiff jail sentences.

 

10-Freedom of press. Slander however would carry with it stiff penalties.

Note: I’m not telling these things are good, it’s just whatever occurred to me while I was writing about my empire.  The Queen 8181477  order:


1. Control, security, and vigilance: Extreme vigilance even drone-vigilance everywhere, worse than in 1984 🤣 , if you are planning to kill someone, you'll have to do it like in the old days with a duel. We will know everything about you. That also means that everybody will be summited to mental evaluation, and all the people that can represent harm to others will have some choices, such as free-forced medicine and therapy or being house arrested, having a GPS bracelet, and other forms of vigilance.


2. Some rights: Drugs, abortion, euthanasia, suicide cabins (with decent funeral services included), whatever-sex marriage or marriage with objects/robots, and being outside naked are legal. However: those who decide to be naked outside are forced by the empire to disinfect all the places where they sit or things they manipulate and cannot be 5 meters near children, nor men near women in a shorter distance (unless are family). Also, as there are suicide cabins, if someone intends to suicide in a public place or in a way that could cause harm to others and fails, will go to jail plus forced medication-therapy, but if they don’t fail their dead act will says they die committing a violent social act (or something like that). Also, in case of abortion of a fetus of more than 3 months (unless it's for health reasons or a case of rape, the person responsible of the production of such fetus (man and/or women) must pay to the empire with a whole year). Every person in a reproductive age must fulfill a form of reproductive responsibilities (all the things they are planning and will do to avoid unplanned pregnancies and compromise, avoiding unwanted pregnancies is priority). The production of male anticonceptives methods is also a priority. 

 

3. Religions and animals and trees rights. If people from religion do something that’s against human rights or animal rights, that’s banned, change or update your religion. Animals have rights in my kingdom: rights of not to be tested (use humans if you need too, we have jailed people that can voluntarily offer themselves for it, if they sign an agreement of been tested for science in exchange of reduction of their penalties; other humans can offer themselves voluntarily also); right of a non-torturing dead and at least minimum natural living conditions;  right to conserve their skin even after their dead, unless they die from natural causes, every object of leather most says where that come from, when the animal died, name or number of the animal, who it belongs to, age of death, etc, to avoid the black leather market. There is a death penalty for those who force animals to fight or that force them to reproduce themselves unless it’s for the perpetuation of the species. Recreational hunting and fishing are prohibited. It is only legal to kill an animal or insect if it's inside of your property and represents a threat. Tress also have a right to be alive for at least 10 years, no one can cut a tree of fewer years old, but if a tree has more than 50 years old cannot be cut, even if it represents harm (move all the things around the tree and leave it alone) if a tree is cut the cutting-person must plant and care for 5 trees during 5 years. 


4. Social responsibilities, and taxes: Companies that exploit natural resources must pay to the citizens a percent for such exploitation (apart from taxes). People will control how and where their taxes are used.  And all the companies are forced to develop ways to help the environmental cause. If a sum of people summits a complaint with a project to improve their process, they will have to open a space to conciliate that social issue. Every healthy person from their 14 to their 30 must do social work 5 hours monthly for free, they can decide what or when in their social work local office. If they are lazy and don’t want to work, they can pay according to their talent or wealthiness, the more talent, or wealthy they are, the more they have to pay, there are tables that help to determine that, it’s not arbitrary, but there is also a committee that can help in this matter. If someone wants to work 10 or more hours a month to reduce the number of years they’ll have work, that’s valid too; they can also lend a house to a homeless or lend any property for a social cause or donate food, medicines or clothes in payment of works (all must be of high quality). Lazy people who don’t want to work must fill out a form explaining why they are lazy and what do they want the empire to do with them, we can try to do something with all of them, right? Maybe they can volunteer to donate blood, hair, sperm, ovules, or some organs to pay for their existence, but they will have to work their 5 monthly hours anyway, cleaning the streets or whatever.


5. Jail system and justice: people in jail must work and pay all their living expenses to the empire.  Life imprisonment for those who commit sexual crimes, plus the suppression of their sexual organs and other forms of chemical “neutralization” if needed. Those who are convicted of mistreating a child will not be able to go back to a recreational park, school, or place where children are concentrated. The mental health of children is a priority for the kingdom. Bullying will be sentenced with prison, even in cases of minors.


6. Speach: All the crazy or obscure information will be labeled as harmful information, potentially defamatory, or any other label, but not deleted or banned (unless an empire court says it’s appropriated). All the trials will be recorded by the Trial Channel unless the involved people requires not to. All this silliness of non-disliking anything is gone: dislike button for everything everywhere. You cannot handle it? Don’t post in social media. Free speech is protected except if it comes against the Queen. Respect for the Queen. If someone talks bad about the Queen, they’ll face the death penalty.


7. Education: Public universities are “autonomous” as everything. But everything is under my control anyway LOL. I mean, every organization will have control of its own activities (unless social or any other form of conflict that requires intervention occurs. Change of the educational system, focusing it on real careers since first grades. Education should be harder, but those who aren’t smart enough to get through it should also have decent life choices.

 

8. Health: If there is no familiar that wants to help mentally or physically ill people, those should be protected by the empire using their own funds (those who were given by companies and rich people, the percent of the money receive ill people is larger than what receive healthy people, but also those taxes that people decide it would go for that cause). All employees must provide a payment that fulfills minimum decent living conditions, it’s their legal responsibility, not of the empire. Can't pay? Don't hire. In cases of emergency or social issues, pregnant people, sick people, older adults and children will continue to have preferential treatment, as will the parent who takes care of their children (whether male, female or another).

9. No more “crazily rich people”. Rich people will have a top, after they get there all the money they earn will be distributed among the citizens. 


10. The empire cannot be revoked. The empire extends to the space and all the resources that are on, they belong to the empire. There is a public dead penalty with a lethal injection for those who try to revoke the Empire. Respect for the Queen.

 

*Any post quoting the Queen questioning her decisions will be mentally banned from her empire.

OMG I should be working instead of writing all this... er... hahaha Why did I do this? Why am I like this? Well, at least I had a bit of **fun** writing all this, and after such a statement, please be aware that this post is not serious and does not mean to debate anything, which I won't do, really, I won't debate anything about this (this last thing is the only that I mean seriously).
