Think of it like a video game HUD where there’s just text floating above a person’s head where you see all their political beliefs, including the degree of bigotry (if any), or whether or not the person believes in the use of violence to acheive polical goals, basically every little detail that would accurately depict people’s political beliefs. Your beliefs are also visible to others. This effect has 1KM radius, including people above and below you.

So, how fucked are you?

(Think of all the authorities in your area that can see your beliefs, including the beliefs regarding the recent incident…)

    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

      Only applies to people physically within 1KM, including people above you on a plane (although IDK who flies that low), and also people below you in caves or tunnels. 1KM is any direction above below or diagonal. People who suffer from amnesia or schizophenia or any condition where they don’t know who they are anymore, would probably have their info glitching out on the HUD display. And holographic projections like in star wars are still not considered physical presence
