(58,785 posts)This game is called "Consequences" and is designed for those openly calling for denial of care and death for the undeserving:
Setting: The vast majority of unvaccinated identify conservative. Care is denied to and deaths from refusal of care mount, overwhelmingly on the right. And with them rage and fear, and more rage at the government and healthcare institutions. Mobs attack hospitals and clinics across the nation.
They of course decide it's a Democratic plot to "cleanse" the nation of patriots and Christians. (THAT conspiracy theory is always with them and suddenly not entirely irrational -- the numbers who believe triple overnight.) Rioting and terrorism explode exponentially, civil war now inevitable.
This is where it gets good, with YOU: Whether you were blabbing your opinions around town or just on social media, you're quickly doxxed. You may not even have to google your own name, your first awareness may just turn up in other searches or perhaps attack by coworkers in the parking lot at work. Choose your favorite enlightenment, just just realize they're coming for YOU quite early on. Because you begin the game about as secret as the Capitol insurrectionists who posted their crimes for all to see.
From here the possibilities are endless, though if adventure stories aren't your thing you could just plausibly choose to be among the first to die. Short story. Or, maybe you and everyone associated with you run, and run, but you at least survive and three years down the road you sleep in a real bed for the first time. Not your own, which is gone along with everything you owned. Fill in the middle and a glorious future ahead.
Or? Go to town, figuratively speaking. Maybe you manage to take your neighbor's AR-15 away, kill him, and become leader of a militia -- fighting federal troops, who become the enemy somewhere around the time right to healthcare for all was restored by the federal government and order to 17 of the 50 states. (What the hell!? )
Don't like that one? Endless possibilities.
Enjoy.
