For anyone that doesn’t know about Death Note it’s a fictional notebook from a death god. If you write someone’s name in it while picturing thier face they die. You can also manipulate thier actions and method of death to some extent.
Donald J. Trump - Death by french fry asphyxiation on live TV
DJ Vance - Killed by a falling piece of furniture
Elon Musk - Hit by a Cybertruck in a freak accident
Pete Hegseth - Alcohol poisoning
Robert F Kennedy Jr. - Brain aneurysm live on TV
Kash Patel - shot by an unknown professional hitman
Christy Noem - Hit by a speeding dump truck
Pam Bondi - Electrocuted by a faulty power line near her podium (live, of course)
Linda McMahon - Stone Cold Stunner by a J6’er
Marco Rubio - Smashes face through a plate glass window
Elise Stefanik - Falls out a window
Vladimir Putin - Poisoned by comrade
Benjamin Netanyahu - Islamic extremist knife attack
Kim Jong-un - Slips and falls down some stairs, breaking his neck
Xi Jinpeng - Exposure to toxic honey
I could go on and on, you get the idea…
Strongly disagree with the Netanyahu one. It would make him a martyr and create more problems than it fixes.
Just replace islamic with zionist and you’re good
You know, you’re absolutely right.
This guy death notes
Except for the names he spelled wrong. Some unrelated people will die.
Not if they’re picturing the correct person. Writing the wrong name but picturing the correct person will result in no death so as to keep the innocent or same-name people alive. It’s in the rules.
Makes me wonder what would happen with JD Vance, actually. His last name has changed a couple of times, which of his names is the “real” one?
It needs to be his legal name. That’s also addressed in Death Note, where the lead investigator goes by a moniker “L” and can’t be targeted by the Death Note until after Light learns L’s real legal name. Nicknames or incomplete names aren’t enough.
RIP DJ Vance, poor innocent bystander got got for no reason
This DJ Vance guy sounds dope. Which clubs is he at?
I’d put Putin and Netanyahu above Trump. Let the hard right see it coming. They would believe it was a coincidence, continue on with Musk. Let them see the circle tighten. Hit Kim Jong-un and Xi to let them know it’s not a Western thing.
Roll on with the AfD actors, Nazis be damned. Still not cluing in? Start with the remainder of your list, roll.
Can we do a mass hit on the January 6th rebels? No? OK. Start with Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, 39, of Miami, Florida. And never stop until… Every. Last. Motherfucking. One. Of. Them. Is. Dead.
Spare Trump. Leave him shaking in his high-heeled loafers. Let him live in FEAR.
Haha, this was in no particular order. I mean, if I had Dragonball powers, I’d be razing the entire fucking planet right now.
Robert F Kennedy Jr. - Brain aneurysm live on TV
This is absolutely a terrible one.
He should go by polio.
By Death Note rules, it could take too long and revert to a heart attack.
This list, but everything would be “spontaneous combustion” and happen at the same time.
Let it be an event to behold.
Yeah, to actually affect any real change, it needs to send a message. While freak accidents would make for great memes, they don’t send the “this is a warning; nobody is untouchable. You could be next if you don’t clean up your act” message that will actually cause lasting change.
Freak accidents can be hand waved away. Conspiracy theorists would go wild, but the ruling elites wouldn’t actually change anything. You want something that can’t be explained away as anything but a targeted and coordinated attack.
If you want to send a message, maybe have them all simultaneously choke on a 50 cent coin. It’s common enough that anyone can get their hands on one, but uncommon enough that you basically need to seek them out. That would at least send a “money bad” message. But be sure it’s something consistent, to ensure the message is actually received.
Elon Musk - Hit by a Cybertruck in a freak accident
Christy Noem - Driving a Cybertruck that hit Elon Musk in a freak accident
Pam Bondi - Electrocuted by a faulty Cybertruck that was just in a freak accident
FTFY
Like Snatch
Interesting that only one item on your list would start a war. Guess you didn’t see enough photos of dead children last year.
Care to elaborate which of these murderers you’re referring to? Besides, I’m making a global omelette here. Expect broken eggs.
This is quite psychotic.
Write my name in it so I don’t forget it’s mine
You leave Bill Gates alone
Edit: I was going to delete it, but I’ll let it stand.
I agree there are no good billionaires, but he’s mild in comparison.
My thought is his death doesn’t really change anything. Dude retired AGES ago and doesn’t have his hand in anything.I don’t care how much positive press he buys, he’s on the list. There are no good billionaires.
At least 95% of this wealth is going to donations when he dies and he’s not hoarding it like a dragon or burning the world down.
Hoarding it until he dies is still hoarding it.
There are no ethical billionaires because the act of hoarding a billion dollars is inherently unethical. Giving only some of it to charity is not enough to justify how much more damage was done in the first place.
There’s an old Indian story about a rich man who gives every beggar he sees a coin, until he has no more coins and is a beggar himself.
How much good did that man do by frittering away his wealth? You’re surely familiar with the adage, “It takes money to make money.”
Would you have a man like Gates blast out all his wealth, and then be unable to produce more to continue his philanthropy? Would you have him shut down his disease eradication and vaccination programs so as to not be an evil billionaire? Would that somehow clear his conscience? Or would it merely make you feel better?
Some of you have the financial sophistication of sophomores. And by “some”, I mean you !missingno@fedia.io.
A billionaire would need to give a coin every second of his life for millions of years to deplete their fortune. The rich man of the story wasn’t rich enough, or was giving much more than a coin.
How many people did he have to step on to hoard a billion dollars in the first place? I would rather he never have become a billionaire.
There are no ethical billionaires. Full stop.
If that’s possible nobody should be able to be rich, because it depends on everyone else being poor. I do agree that if you take care of yourself you can do more good in the world, but the relentless flow of money upward and industry set up to exploit the poor need to be dismantled.
The problem is he’s only making money, even his “charitable” actions are made in the interest of creating an entire environment that is more exploitative by his investments.
He did an AMA on reddit a few years ago, and when asked about his charitable ventures and investments, he mostly just made reference to teams of financiers doing “what they thought was best”.
Maybe he’s doing what he thinks is best… but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is what’s best for most people.
Frankly, his money would be best spent lobbying for progressive policies and funding candidates who fight for the working class. Everything else is a staying action at best, and “moral exploitation” at the least.
You leave Gabe alone
Lol. He knows how to get off of the list. If anyone can donate fast enough to outrun a make believe magic book, he can.
Nice try FBI
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
A lot of people in the comments here are taking the high ground. “I wouldn’t use it. I’m not a killer. I’m better than that.”
But by not using it you are even more of a killer. This is a trolley problem. If you pull the right switch one evil psychopathic murderer dies, if you don’t pull the switch thousands of their innocent victims die. If you have the power to make that decision then the responsibility for the deaths falls on your shoulders, whether it’s one death or thousands.
So yeah, I’d use it. I’d start at the top of the psychopathic killer list and move down. I doubt I’d have to wonder when to stop. There are so many. But once they got the message I’d be more moderate and only use it when necessary.
This is a smooth brain take. We are not omniscient. Admitting we cannot know the consequences of our actions and refusing to kill people extra judicially is not murder or evil.
What do you think of the police response to the Uvalde school shooting? Was it justified for them to stand around and wait while Salvador Ramos was killing other students inside? Maybe they should have just asked him nicely to stop? What about Steven Paddock in Las Vegas? Or Omar Mateen in Orlando? Would you have stood by and watched while they were shooting people? Would you have thought “I can’t know how this will turn out so I’m going to let them continue.” Or, assuming it’s the only way to stop them, would you have killed them to save a large number of innocent lives?
To make it even more clear, Omar Mateen started the trolley rolling. Would you pull the track switch so it runs over Omar Mateen? Or would you stand by and watch as it runs over 50 innocent people?
This is a hypothetical question unrelated to whether you could do anything about it with a ‘death note’ book. I’m just curious to hear your thoughts.
And just so you know, you can make your point without insulting someone.
Police attacking active shooters is obviously different than vigilante justice.
I don’t fully disagree but that was exactly Kira’s thinking lol (at least at the start)
Kira/Light was thinking small. Targeting criminals already in jail is just vengeance. With a death note you have the power to reshape global politics and even all of society. Psychopaths/sociopaths often rise to top positions in business and government because they are good at deception, ruthless, and can shield themselves from the consequences of their actions. And from there their capacity to do harm to others can be immense. Luigi not only understood this, he had the courage of his convictions.
Heh, maybe I’d give the death note to Luigi.
I wonder how many names you have to write before you’re at the top of the psychopathic killer list
The deaths would need some spectacle and consistency to send a message. That could probably be arranged but I wonder what method would be the most effective.
I think it would be a pretty strong message if Trump’s plane crashed as a direct result of his attacks on DEI stuff
Didn’t this exact question get asked somewhat recently? I’d hang out with a cool ghost.
Go to a casino and have him help with blackjack or poker. Pay him with apples.
Watch Death Note, and do whatever the main character doesn’t because I’m pretty sure he gets caught
Elon Musk, death from asphyxiation being up Trumps ass for too long.
Followed by Trump, death from rectal bleeding.
It would all be on live television.
Followed by RFKJ with a juxtaposition of TB, polio, measles, smallpox, and food poisoning from raw milk.
“How did he die?”
“Believe it or not, every single preventable illness you can imagine. It’s the damnedest thing.”
So in other words the post is, “Who would you kill if you could totally get away with it?”
If that’s how you want to see it.
I was browsing popular anime and saw Death Note and just felt like seeing what people respond with.
I have my own thoughts and expectations of myself but wanted to see what others would do.
So far only one person would kill for direct personal gain. Most would kill for “betterment” of a nation. The greater good so to speak.
Murder is still murder.
What about killing in a war? Is that murder?
What about killing to stop/prevent war?
Where do people draw the line. It seems like anonymous strangers here are more willing to end a life to “save lives.”
Is it murder though, just wishing someone would die?
If you know for certain it’s going to come true do you still wish it?
Write Kissinger’s name in it, just to be sure
Nothing. I’m already murdering the exact amount of people I want to which is none.
Pull an epic prank and make it look like a guest book somewhere.
Dozens of people die
“It’s just a prank, bro!”
My b. “Social Experiment”
I’d destroy it (if possible; I haven’t read all the rules), probably by burning. Such power would inevitably corrupt me, and the temptation to use it could become so great that merely hiding it (but keeping it intact) wouldn’t be sufficient. I’d also worry about it falling into worse hands than mine.
I probably would use it like a journal and kill a bunch of people by accident
That’s pretty fucked up considering you’d probably write about someone you know but wouldn’t wish harm on.
The rules are on the inside cover so I’d assume most people would check there for ownership and see its a death thing.
Tbh if i came across a notebook with a bunch of ominous bullshit on the inside cover, I’d assume it was a prop for V:TM or some other goth-ish ttrpg. And then promptly ignore the instructions until I notice people dying.
And that’s assuming I don’t just rip out the instructions or glue a picture over it
That’s exactly what Light did in the anime. But anyone who touches the Death Note gains the ability to see the gods of death that normally hold the book. So Light believed it was a joke or a prop until the god of death introduced himself.
