Naturally they’re hooked for life and will never leave or reproduce or bother anyone again. It’ll be a full VR system that lets them live in 1952 where white men are in charge and the women are sex appeal.

It’s much more humane than y’know fash-bash

            I think before the capitalist system beats it out of them and corrupts them into sociopathic monsters, they do. There are likely exceptions and outliers like there is for any human trait, but for the most part, as a social species, individual members of it are born with an inherent empathy for others. The major question here is whether or not a grain of that empathy still exists or can be re-instilled in a person who has been so thoroughly corrupted by the pathology of being a top beneficiary in a capitalist, greed-is-virtue system. I’d like to think so. That’s perhaps the main purpose of reeducation.

    I always figured this was a very effective way to deal with the wealthy who would scream about appropriation in the early phases of a social realignment.

    They’ve done experimental communities for dementia patients set up to look like normal towns, but the shopkeepers are all staff, and the busses loop back at the end of the run, so there’s the tools to constantly monitor the patients and make sure they don’t wander away, while they feel like they have the dignity of independent living instead of an obvious rest home.

    Do the same, but also make sure they’re on a captive network where they can pull up fibbed bank and brokerage statistics that tell them everything went up 15% per year, and staged broadcasts that says everyone is properly turning to face Wall Street and pray to the Line eight times a day. They’d never need to realize their assets had been nationalized years ago, they just think it’s permanent springtime in Jackson Hole or whatever.

    After things take over, and they no longer hold influence or aspirational leverage, you release them back into general population. “Sorry, Elon, those numbers were faked, here’s 200 roubles and your assignment in the cobalt mines.”

    I propose we build a dome around Texas and make it a conservation area. We then convince them they won the culture war, and they can treat the dome like the firmament to reinforce their Christian values.

    Considering the size of Texas, you can also fit replicas of all the states within the dome.

    Okey…

    Though i-think-that it’d be at least funny if there was 2 chuds fighting each other a la Kenny vs Spenny, in one game of the VR system, with random NON-KILLING contests

    Why this game? Listen to the intro

    Since the beginning of time, mankind has been forced to compete for survival. This spirit of competition has reached a pinnacle in the relationship of two best friends who battle against each other. Why? Glory for the winner, humiliation for the loser.

    Fundamentally a chud way of thinking that is unfulfilling; no reward, just punishment
