Which one is the worst: EVERYBODY regardless of social status is deemed as the state's nemesis by the government or being an ex-con who is released from prison stigmatized by others in society?
Post Body
To be clear, there's a difference between the following, despite both being bad in their own way:
| Released from prison as an ex-con, but you are having a hard time integrating back into society. | Brutal regime who PUNISHES everyone regardless of your class, age, race, gender, etc. |
|---|---|
| At least, you still have your basic human rights, despite being deemed an ex-con by society | The ENTIRE nation is one large prison with no way to escape, as escapees are shot on site |
| You will face stigma from others, so there are hurdles into finding proper employment | No basic human rights nor any freedom at all, as it's ruled with a strong iron fist dictatorship |
| You have to state your criminal past (even though it happened a decade ago) to others | Everyone's movements and activities are constantly surveilled, no secrets are allowed |
| People have fears, as they associate ex-cons into looking like gangsters or hardline criminals | Everybody is deemed a prisoner and enemies of the goverment (REGARDLESS of class, age, etc.) |
| Rekindling relationships will be challenging depending on your past circumstances | Both babies and citizens are prisoners from birth as the government says so, no objections |
| You try your hardest to adjust living a normal life but people still hate you're from prison | Social credit system is there - if you are the lowest tier, you have access to NOTHING |
| Getting social assistance or benefits is near impossible, regardless of numerous attempts | All forms of rebelion are forbidden, as the state indiscriminately murders ANBODY they'd like |
| Public housing is hard to obtain, since the people organizing them hate ex-cons | You cannot commit ANY form of crime (whether petty or heinous) as you'll be tortured or killed |
| Your finances are not secure, so you have to improvise on how to earn a living wage | One slight deviation results in a instant death sentence, sent to an extermination camp |
| There will still be other forms of discrimination, but you can still turn your life around at least | The regime pick and chooses: gambling with everybody's lives, they can pick who to kill |
| You will have to adjust your paradigms, as the world has changed and evolved overtime | There's no judicial system: big brother decides whether they want to spare or eliminate you |
| Even if you've managed to find a job, there are those who will still hate those from prison | They're more ruthless than the Nazis and Soviets, to a whole other level |
The Key takeways:
| Ex-Prisoner | 1984-like regime |
|---|---|
| Being an ex-con poses hurdles, but at least you still have freedom of speech and human rights | Everyone is deemed enemies of the state, so there's really nothing anybody can do about it |
| Depending on your circumstances, you may receive a pardon, but that's betting on lottery | Not much you can do except: if you've escaped somehow, you're now a asylum seeker, that's it |
| Eventually, the stigma by those closest to you will fade if you prove you've redeemed yourself | Bringing the regime accountable only results in a world war, a fate nobody wants in the end |
