I’ve got the hubris to think I’d be cool about it. Starts with billionaires and Republican leadership. Ends with “people who park in bike lanes”.
I learned from hardcore history that everyone gets corrupted by power. I truly believe that i would ice people that would only benefit the rest of the world. But i assume i eventually will also reach the point of: “dit that motherfucker just cut me off?!”
And thats where you write yourself and uncle ben tour way onto a better future
I mean, killing those that want others dead for the crime of existing seems pretty water tight on morals and corruption. Don’t stray from that rule and you should be fine.
yeah, light literally monologes about becoming god of the world like…5m after confirming the book is real. dude clearly had issues
What about people who make fun of my farts
They already ded, they just still walking.
Looks like you just made the list.
That doesn’t solve the issue of you not having perfect information, which the post alludes to.
Do we really need perfect information for the likes of Trump, Putin, et al?
List of KKK members, done. List of proud boy members, done. They don’t exactly make it difficult to deduce.
yah, was gonna say. as long as you don’t start a cult and start drinking your own coolaid, you’ll probubly be fine. but then we wouldn’t have as much of a story would we.
Ah so you’d kill all of the members of Hamas then. That’s what you obviously meant, because you everyone agrees on which people you mean when you say “those that want others dead for the crime of existing.” Completely water tight! Definitely not at all dependent on the arbitrariness of which information you’ve been exposed to.
I dunno. You sound kinda like hamas over there.
I’m just on a list because I was raving about our local hummus guy and apparently I smoked too much and had a lisp.
So you want others who want others dead for the crime of existing, dead for the crime of existing?
Edit: clearly I should have used /s for the obvious joking wordplay on a meme community
It isn’t a difficult concept. x wants nightlily dead for being German. y wants x dead for wanting Germans to be dead.
It isn’t recursive.
Exactly. You get it ! You have to be intolerant of the intolerant.
No dumbass, you literally just listed their crime, its not “existing”. If they were just existing they wouldn’t be targeted, they wouldn’t be guilty of genocide.
I absolutely could not be trusted with such a book. That being said, I should absolutely have it,
hhmm… sounds trustworthy!
I think a lot of people ignore the main issue with Death Note. I don’t view it as depicting how anyone would be corrupted by power.
Light Yagami started out with an overinflated ego and impaired self control by virtue of being a teenager with good grades. He likely was also already a psychopath (though you can’t give that diagnosis to a minor). He’s effectively the male Japanese version of Elizabeth Holmes. That’s what led to him becoming a megalomaniac.
Not everyone starts off with that set of circumstances, and conversely not everyone would go down the same route. But that’s not the story the author wanted to write nor the story the audience wanted to consume. A good person using the Death Note to fix the world would get old really fast because there’s little tension and intrigue. But someone being correpted by power down a path of evil? That’s a story that can be interesting
There are two extra stories that show what could happen. One is of a good person trying to do ‘good’, they killed themselves as soon as they were challenged.
If the story started with Light killing government figures and business moguls world wide, it would have to answer a lot of questions. It was a tighter story keeping it local.

Should be noted how Misa Amane isn’t really corrupted, just gulled into Light’s cult of celebrity and used up by his machinations.
I think a few more characters with a hand on the Death Note would have made the story better, to play out it’s influence on the user.
our university had a book that actually killed a person via falling on their head. it was encased in this bulky jacket with metal edges. and for whatever reason it was relatively high up the bookshelf and the bookshelf was quite old and falling apart. So one day some dude decided to pull out a book from this bookshelf and it buckled and that bulky jacket book cracked his head open.
i would be afraid of the shinigami like do you imagine how creepy they would look irl
There are multiple live action adaptations
Question. If someone autographs that book would it be considered suicide? I am seriously curious about the legal implications here.
This reminds me of Galadriel’s speech when Frodo offered her the ring.
In addition to a number of extremely harmful world leaders, CEOs, billionaires, rightwing “thought leaders”, and politicians… I definitely would be tempted to go scorched earth.
I probably would settle to just make the leaders of certain movements shame themselves publicly and so thoroughly before their death that those movements end from sheer embarrassment.
Watched it for the first time this month, such a banger show
I wonder how long it would take for me to start straight up killing rival sports teams.
ITT: Megalomaniacs
I’d run out of pages fast writing down every russian that’s responsible for genociding Ukrainians.
Politicians already have that, but instead of a heart attack its just a special service member shoot someone.
