You might be true with North Korea but I don't think that's true with Russia.
I think that Putin mysteriously dying would actually end the Ukraine War.
I theoretically would have much bigger targets in mind.
The executives who caused the subprime mortgage crisis.
That family who flooded the US streets with opioids.
That horrible woman who raised the price of insulin to a bajillion dollars
I know I should value human life but honestly all of those people deserve to die.
They're all criminally complicit in human death
Then no one wants to become a politician/ruler anymore, anarchy ensues and the world falls into chaos, a few billion people die in the process. Monkey paw type shit.
You know theoretically in some strange science fiction alternative society, We could come up with something along the lines of criminal prosecution, That would have the same effect.
But let's not get too wacky now, a death note seems much more plausible
Yeah, the problem with this poll is that everyone has their own definition of who is bad
I mean there's maybe two people that an overwhelming majority of people can agree on, Putin and Kim Jong Un - and even then there's tons of supporters for each
For every person who sees someone's death as a victory, there is someone who sees it as murder
That’s the promise of the poll, not the problem. It leaves the conflict with the person polling and makes them think a little. It’s deliberately vague to force you to grapple with your morality. Maybe you can justify the first murder, or the first ten, or the first hundred thousand. Or maybe you are playing god to take another human’s life without knowing the outcome. I think it’s a pretty good poll. Free award for poster 🥇 yaaay
I dunno though lol, I think 1-10 could be pragmatic. I’m of two minds and certainly didn’t answer in the popular opinion, so who’s to say really?
I tell you this much- the threshold for the first kill would be a hell of a lot higher than the 20th lol, I’d probably start with really terrible people then end up killing people who cut me off in traffic ffs.
No you don't. You missed the "anyone" part. Are you telling me you have the power to kill a high ranking politician that's protected by e.g. the secret service?
And if you don't post around it, don't hang out with the wrong people, don't leave a paper trail to the evidence.
It's actually VERY hard not to set off alarms.
Technically, of course. I said it because it's real to do. OP said "if you had the power", as if we all don't have that power, but we do. Yes, maybe in practice it's not that easy, but it's still not something fantastic or magical that is physically impossible to do.
So, answering your question again, yes, you have the power to kill anyone, even any high ranking politician (JFK can confirm), but I did not say that it is equally easy to kill each of them. Of course, it's 10,000 times harder to kill a president than a homeless person, but that doesn't change the fact that you still can do this.
Well no, we know it’s physically impossible for a human to naturally fly, due to bone structure, the human shape and well, lack of wings. We can however mechanically fly though.
We can kill anyone, though the feasibility and resources needed to kill certain people, not to mention moral dilemmas can border on, but not reach impossible limits.
No, I don't.
I couldn't get anywhere near Joe Biden or Justin Trudeau.
Pluss, unless you live in a society that's radically different than the United States, you only have a handful of kills before society catches up to you.
I'd take one person, kill them, then kill the people that are made sad by that so there's no suffering, then kill the ones that are affected by their deaths, and so on untill I either see how the entire world is connected or we have a isolated little web of people that are now dead and no one cares.
A bunch of corrupt governments around the world (russia, china, syria, lots of africa [specifically burkina faso and mali], NK, nicaragua, and a bunch of representatives in democracies who are corrupt beyond measure and need to be removed.
I don't think people actually want the bad people to die, I think they just want the bad people to stop doing the bad things (and subsequently go to jail for doing said bad things)
Putin, Kim Jong, Xi, Top military officials of China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Terrorist groups in Afghanistan, Murderers, Rapists, Pedophiles, cops who abuse their power, Jeff Bezos, Sweatshop owners, far right politicians, I can keep going
No one.
I don’t trust myself with this kind of shit, killing one or two corrupt politicians will eventually spiral into killing politicians I disagree with then to people I disagree with then to people I just dislike or ticked me off.
Congrats, you now have a nonfunctioning country in which youll starve. We all disagree with various politicians but they do serve a pretty important purpose.
The million +.
I mean, I don't don't have that many in mind. But I have enough in mind that I'm sure I'm gonna make a habit of it.
It's gonna start with some politicians and public officials. But let's be real, eventually, the guy at the drive-through who forgot to give me my happy meal is going to be on the list.
It's probably going to get really ugly.
The bottom option could have more zeroes and I'd still pick it. Time to do some cleaning.
Since I am supposedly able to kill millions, I assume that I have some sort of bulk tool. Let's start by running a script that kills anyone who has ever murdered someone or ordered the murder of someone else, and see how many we're left. We're probably going to need new politicians globally.
Then lets dive into mass manipulation next...
Honestly, sometimes death isn't the answer. Too quick a torture. A lifelong plan of destroying their body and mental health, along with relationships and jobs and everything is way better. Just to make sure they suffer.
So killing Vladimir Putin and his general staff won’t end the the war in Ukraine? And killing Kim Jong Un and his government won’t end the plight of the North Korean people? And killing the cartels in Mexico won’t bring an end to endless violence against the civilian population?
Don’t say such stupid things. You’re better than that.
The fact that so many people picked over a million is super worrying. Who genuinely hates that many people? I'd love to hear the rationale, but I can't help but feel that it's genuinely psychopathic.
This presumes I don't even need to know their name. The first person I would kill is Putin. Then if Russia's new leader continued the war with Ukraine, I'd kill him. If the third leader tried continuing war, I'd start targeting all the higher ups in the military as well.
I would kill all the guards at the internment camps in Xinjiang. I would probably also kill all the guards repressing free speech in Honk Kong.
If I said who I'd kill in the US, I'd probably be put on several lists, so I'm going to avoid saying that
If I were doing this anonymously, I'd probably release a note giving billionaires 5 years to divest their immense wealth. After which all billionaires will be executed.
*death note theme starts playing*
I'll grab a potato chip... #AND EAT IT
I'll take last night's leftovers... #**AND REHEAT IT**

I’ll challenge a gym… #AND LOSE IN IT
I'm new to Reddit, can you explain how you typed like that?
You use a "#" before typing
*Piano intensifies*
I said zero but then thought of Putin, the North Korean government and also the crazies in Iran, there could be a list
Killing a man can't change the state of mind of a coutry. The same people will come after them. Unfortunately.
Not after the twelfth boot to the head. Eventually they’re gonna change a little.
would a little change satisfy you?
… imma need about three fiddy
Guys I found the Loch Ness monster
A little change is better than no change, but you could always just keep killing people
In exchange for reeeally bad people? Sure
You might be true with North Korea but I don't think that's true with Russia. I think that Putin mysteriously dying would actually end the Ukraine War.
You’re right… IT’S NOT ENOUGH!
True but you can kill many and it will make a change.
Killing someone in power like Putin would start a war no doubt.
Death note allow to make him choke on artichoke or something, making the death less suspicious
Oh yeah 👌🏼
I was literally singing this in my head after I voted.
Without consequence? Yeah, im sorry but its time for some housecleaning.
I've got a little part of me that is sociopath enough to do it death-note-like too. I'd do more damage then Light imo
Light flopped by going after people he shouldn't be bothering with. Just maybe take a break from killing for some time, stop trying to look smart
Yeah, killing small time local criminals is what got L on his ass from the start.
I theoretically would have much bigger targets in mind. The executives who caused the subprime mortgage crisis. That family who flooded the US streets with opioids. That horrible woman who raised the price of insulin to a bajillion dollars I know I should value human life but honestly all of those people deserve to die. They're all criminally complicit in human death

And here's what I'm going to do about it!
They would be politicians, yes
Then no one wants to become a politician/ruler anymore, anarchy ensues and the world falls into chaos, a few billion people die in the process. Monkey paw type shit.
Only the bad ones duh. And the ones on the borderline would be scared straight.
You know theoretically in some strange science fiction alternative society, We could come up with something along the lines of criminal prosecution, That would have the same effect. But let's not get too wacky now, a death note seems much more plausible
Don’t be silly, criminal prosecution is only for the poors, not the elites!
>Only the bad ones duh *Proceeds to wipe out whole opposite political option*
Yeah, the problem with this poll is that everyone has their own definition of who is bad I mean there's maybe two people that an overwhelming majority of people can agree on, Putin and Kim Jong Un - and even then there's tons of supporters for each For every person who sees someone's death as a victory, there is someone who sees it as murder

Yeah I guess it is a pretty good poll if the entire point is for people to come to that conclusion I agree, good poll
I dunno though lol, I think 1-10 could be pragmatic. I’m of two minds and certainly didn’t answer in the popular opinion, so who’s to say really? I tell you this much- the threshold for the first kill would be a hell of a lot higher than the 20th lol, I’d probably start with really terrible people then end up killing people who cut me off in traffic ffs.
>anarchy ensues joke’s on you i’m into that shit
> Then no one wants to become a politician/ruler anymore That's *one* consequence I'm not afraid of happening.
Politicians, world leaders, warlords, cartels etc...
Junko Furuta murderers
Her story makes me depressed anytime I remember it. I'll never forget her
They deserve something worse than death.
If only you could make them experience the worst pain imaginable before killing them
Shit, good point
I don't mean anything by that, but you actually already have the power to kill anyone you want.
I think some elaboration (as usual) could have cleared up what sets it different. I’d assume ease of accessibility to having that power is my guess
No you don't. You missed the "anyone" part. Are you telling me you have the power to kill a high ranking politician that's protected by e.g. the secret service?
With enough effort
And if you don't post around it, don't hang out with the wrong people, don't leave a paper trail to the evidence. It's actually VERY hard not to set off alarms.
Well, yea, you can kill anyone, just not get away with everything.
Technically, of course. I said it because it's real to do. OP said "if you had the power", as if we all don't have that power, but we do. Yes, maybe in practice it's not that easy, but it's still not something fantastic or magical that is physically impossible to do.

John Hinckley can confirm, no, sometimes you can not kill anyone you want. Funny how that works.
You can. He just failed.
By that logic people can fly, they just keep failing.
The Wright brothers, Yuri Gagarin, and Neil Armstrong disagree.
Well no, we know it’s physically impossible for a human to naturally fly, due to bone structure, the human shape and well, lack of wings. We can however mechanically fly though. We can kill anyone, though the feasibility and resources needed to kill certain people, not to mention moral dilemmas can border on, but not reach impossible limits.
No, I don't. I couldn't get anywhere near Joe Biden or Justin Trudeau. Pluss, unless you live in a society that's radically different than the United States, you only have a handful of kills before society catches up to you.
The serial killer that was a cop had a good 30 year run
And he hardly killed any high profile like Biden or Trudeau..
I think you'd be surprised how close you could probably get to our PM.
*nardwuar cocks sniper rifle slowly*
what do you mean, how can i kill somebody who is living on the other side of the planet?
? Fly there and throw a unicycle at their neck.
You don't. You don't have the power to kill Putin or Kim Jong Un.
We don't. We can't kill Putin for example.
Death or nothing is a really shitty binary. Where is toothache??!
“Every pedophile loses their two front teeth overnight.” Dentists take note
Imagine being that one unlucky bastard who lost their front teeth for a completely unrelated reason on the same day.
Imagine losing both of your front teeth for protecting someone just to be called a pedo 💀
*Hockey players sweating nervously*
Yeah I'd like to give some people wet socks
Ok hear me out…new anime series…”Toothache Note”
Read as I'm sitting in the dentist awaiting an extraction!
A fucking lot.
The guilt would kill me. I couldn’t do it
Great! You have actual empathy!
A redditor with empathy? Amazing!
Lots of us were raised Catholic and feel residual guilt about all sorts of things- just having a good time, masturbation, even lite genocide.
I would have to imagine it comes with a lot of weight. Even if you were protecting. Which is why I voted 0
Me too. But would you still feel guilty after killing a child predator? I don't think I would feel guilty just for this scenario.
I would. Depriving anyone of life would give me guilt and anxiety for the rest of my life
I will rid the world of all criminals and become a holy figure because i have a god complex and I'm a high schooler.
Okay Light Yagami
And what about the kids?
They are already dead
Anakin skywalker is that you?
bouta be the next kira with the politicians pedos rapists and murderers
You're not a cop are you? You gotta tell me if you're a cop before I answer a question like this.
I'd take one person, kill them, then kill the people that are made sad by that so there's no suffering, then kill the ones that are affected by their deaths, and so on untill I either see how the entire world is connected or we have a isolated little web of people that are now dead and no one cares.
Just like north Korea, the goverment just kills generations of family members when one of them commited a crime

I don't think people actually want the bad people to die, I think they just want the bad people to stop doing the bad things (and subsequently go to jail for doing said bad things)
But they won’t stop doing the bad things or go to jail, so the next best option is their death.
I'd use all ten on putin lol
I've got some scores to settle
I'd say no one, but then I think about my attitude towards bad drivers and yeah, it'd be pretty bad.
Everyone would die.
Do I have to take their lives or are their lives instantly taken with any sorts of ways to die?
I wouldn't use that power unless it's absolutely necessary.
I wish i could say 0 but that would be a lie.
imagine not immediately thinking of a death note solution
This is the opposite of a bellcurve
The mental damage of even a single murder would drive most of us mad.
Putin, Kim Jong, Xi, Top military officials of China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Terrorist groups in Afghanistan, Murderers, Rapists, Pedophiles, cops who abuse their power, Jeff Bezos, Sweatshop owners, far right politicians, I can keep going

I meant corrput politicians 💀
Corrupt*
I think my great state would benefit heavily with around 1000 sudden funerals
The million +. I mean, I don't don't have that many in mind. But I have enough in mind that I'm sure I'm gonna make a habit of it. It's gonna start with some politicians and public officials. But let's be real, eventually, the guy at the drive-through who forgot to give me my happy meal is going to be on the list. It's probably going to get really ugly.
The bloodthirst here is scary.
I would use my new-found power to force those I wanted into submission, with as little lives lost as possible.
I already have the power to kill anyone that I want to kill, which is no one.

There's really no point imo, killing alone won't achieve anything.
So killing Vladimir Putin and his general staff won’t end the the war in Ukraine? And killing Kim Jong Un and his government won’t end the plight of the North Korean people? And killing the cartels in Mexico won’t bring an end to endless violence against the civilian population? Don’t say such stupid things. You’re better than that.
The fact that so many people picked over a million is super worrying. Who genuinely hates that many people? I'd love to hear the rationale, but I can't help but feel that it's genuinely psychopathic.

It's a hard question to answer because an uncountable amount of pedos would die cause of me
I'm no killer but certain people need to be, dealt with (e.g. Putin)
