It hooks them up to a VR simulation of 1950’s america and they’re the abusive husband to a hot wife and two kids. Racism is alive and well and the USA and white people by extension run the world.
They can never leave, much like the matrix they’re locked into the simulation for life but it’s more humane than wholesale genocide because let’s face it, a lot of people in the USA deserve it.
I had a similar idea for dealing with capitalists: make a video game for them that simulates stock trading and all the “work” they do to “run” their companies. Maybe hire a few actors to be their “assistants.” They can also have a siloed version of twitter full of bootlicker bots that enthusiastically agree with all their dumb ideas.
Sometimes I worry that due to a clerical error I have been placed in this simulation as one of the workers
Baiting them into quitting just selects for a bait-averse capitalist. Tom from MySpace decided to enjoy his life and we got Zuck.
No no, lock them in a reeducation cube and let them out if they are rehabilitated.

but instead of Mario it’s Stalin
I feel like there’s potential for a good story here…ah, wait, it’s just The Truman Show.

What if we’re already in that simulation and it’s been 70 years so the chuds are still trapped? What if it really is the Immortal Science so the virtual simulation children turned out to be commies anyway?
On the one hand, the worst thing that can happen to someone is that they get everything they ever wanted
On the other hand, the matrix taught us that even the Paradise simulation couldn’t work because the human mind would rebel.
Instead, allow me to present the Samsara Midnight Realm Cube. They get roughly the median life in america with all the attendant miseries and temporary happiness that implies, BUT it’s just slightly degraded and worse. Like the movie Wristcutters.
The matrix is fiction, it depicted that in the movie, it doesn’t really seek to prove the same irl
Oh shit didn’t realize we had blue pills here, yes yes the matrix was just a movie and dorpheus was just a prank in the office
But they don’t want a paradise, they want hell.
They don’t want happiness, they want others to be miserable. They would forever chase that feeling of power they imagine they would get when they yell at someone, or beat their wives up in exactly the right circumstances. Except this perfect circumstance where they would completely dominate someone in a righteous way never occurs for some reason, it’s always tainted by something… But they never know quite what it is.
Wristcutters
Great movie. The soundtrack, the humor, [redacted] as a hippy commune leader haha! Not to mention other surprise actor [redacted]. Thanks for reminding me of a favorite.
just did a deep dive about this movie as i never saw it (it came out during a rough time of my life). seems so unique though and i now want to
Its quite cool! Maybe a bit too sweet but i eat that up sooo
when there is trap…
…you’ll get it.
Waste of energy, chuck 'em in a mineshaft. If we run out of mineshafts, get 'em to dig more.
Nah, they never had any qualms with lack of humanity. Make em communist like Puyi.
