If your worldview were universally majority

[Meow Mix]

I didn't like Guns and Roses when I first heard them. But they are like a fungus, they grow on you.

I inherited GnR from my dad.

Now if I get asked "what's an album that's good start to finish with no skipping," Appetite for Destruction is on that list somewhere.

death penalty for performing or listening to reggae and opera

I can already see our worlds colliding.

If enough people in the world accepted your worldview such that they became the majority in every country, controlling every government:

Would it cause anybody to lose their rights in some way?

No, although the right to suppress others will be stopped

Would people on this forum be affected?

No

Would there be freedom of religion?

Yes - but beliefs don't trump other laws

Would people be able to express themselves?

Certainly

Would women be able to wear the clothing that they want?

Yes. Although sandals with socks will be banned

How would homosexual people, trans people, nonbinary people fare?

Very well

Would anything that people commonly do today be banned, like any books, music, or other media?

No

 

[Subduction Zone]

Banned? Hate communication (yes yes but this is speculating off the top of my head). Apart from that just the obvious one of the death penalty for performing or listening to reggae and opera. Oh and C&W of course.

Sorry, but there will still be prisons, and there needs to be some sort of punishment:

Now I'm adding a bunch of other stuff my dad likes. CSN&Y is a big one, but I only recognize the 2 songs that my dad loves. I'ma have lunch with him this weekend and he'll be so proud

Quit saying "my dad" while talking about music! You are making me feel old

I am probably older than your father and that only makes it worse.

Why punishment? Why not give reformation and corrections a chance, for once?

Turn prisons into schools and stop turning schools into prisons.

I would hope the world was a more peaceful place if everyone hold the worldview i currently do

Actually you’re about his age, so at least not older! Consolation? ^.^

Turn prisons into schools and stop turning schools into prisons.

I think that Nixon in China will be a much quicker route to reform. One sitting may accomplish my goals.

Hippies are allowed in my world view. But they'd be required to bathe at least twice a week.

Every week?

A Revoltifarian world would be a paradise on Earth.
(Except for theocrats & commies who'd be denied control over us.)

[Mock Turtle]

If enough people in the world accepted your worldview such that they became the majority in every country, controlling every government:

Would it cause anybody to lose their rights in some way? Only in the sense of no dictating to others, as in a theocracy, plutocracy, monarchy, dictatorship, mediocracy, etc., so mostly some form of democracy with the best informed as custodians of such (by whatever means), and perhaps enhanced enough to work properly rather than have the wealthy and/or privileged skew what happens (perhaps because of self-interest or religious beliefs). So mostly, no bullying or intimidating others, or claiming rights over them, and a decent understanding of fairness within society.

Would people on this forum be affected? Some would be dismayed, some joyful no doubt, and perhaps depends upon how they see the freedoms/restrictions of others. No change in how they express themselves here though - as per the Rules.

Would there be freedom of religion? As far as such is compatible with the freedoms and choices of others - which seemingly has always been an issue - some trying to dictate as to how all others should behave or believe. Otherwise, practice what you believe as long as it harms no others.

Would people be able to express themselves? Hopefully as much as they would want granted such didn't interfere too much with the rights of others.

Would women be able to wear the clothing that they want? Clothing/no clothing, who cares?

How would homosexual people, trans people, nonbinary people fare? Same as everyone else, hopefully, and with rights to assure such.

Would anything that people commonly do today be banned, like any books, music, or other media? Not really, although my flippant nature could contribute as much as many already have - with similar hates.

I might come back with a completely flippant response.

It would affect everyone hugely

Everyone that you mentioned such as homosexsual people, trans etc. would probably get it better, I wouldn't make any laws against it, people would be free to do what they wanted in that regards, but there will always be people that will have something against it, so that would probably still be an issue. But all religious laws that condemn it would be removed etc. Peoples sexuality's as long as they don't hurt others are of no interest to me.

But the biggest change would be that I would actively work towards creating a world that is not driven by money, however one would do that. People starving when there is more than enough food to go around or people not receiving medical treatment would simply not be acceptable. Almost all money going to the military would go to space programs, research, solving the climate and where ever these money could be used for something useful.

There would be freedom of religion as long as it didn't interfere with scientific progress (such as people claiming that the earth is flat) or actively taught people things that could be demonstrated to be objectively wrong, and obviously any that would preach hate towards others. Also there would be freedom for everyone, so if women currently not able to work, get an education would want it, they could do that.
But if people wanted to believe in a God(s), pray, doing ceremonies etc. that would be fine.

People on this forum would be greatly affected, it would be one of my greatest concerns, I would make myself an admin and ANYONE that disagreed with me, would be banned for 1 day without warning!!

I would be the best dictator the world have ever seen

 

[SalixIncendium]

Would it cause anybody to lose their rights in some way?

No.

Would people on this forum be affected?

Only if they chose to be. In my worldview, the accumulation of karma, much of what leads to suffering, is the result of desire and attachment to the phenomenal caused by avidya. If they chose to remain attached to the phenomenal world, they would remain unaffected.

Would there be freedom of religion?

Yes.

Would people be able to express themselves?

So long as they didn't insult my sense of fashion, yes.

Would women be able to wear the clothing that they want?

Yes, except on Naked Tuesday.

How would homosexual people, trans people, nonbinary people fare?

People are people, even if they had my worldview. Most judge others by their very nature.

My thoughts are that they would fare better, as my worldview teaches not to take the judgment of another personally. So they would essentially free themselves from the judgment of others.

Would anything that people commonly do today be banned, like any books, music, or other media?

Nothing would be banned. It is advised to follow one's dharma to help one live in accordance with Ṛta, but one is free to choose to live a dharmic or adharmic life, all of which has an impact on one's karmic account.

Oh yeah...and there would be a ban on clothing on Tuesday.

 

[SalixIncendium]

Thanks for reminding me I need to add GnR to my list.

Someone was saying something about a GnR "greatest hits" recently somewhere. I was like "that already happened. it was called Appetite for Destruction"

Surely, you mean Use Your Illusion I.

I confess I have an album of Steve Reich.
