So I was thinking of the problem of disposing of unwanted liberals without releasing (may snitch) or executing them.  Usually I'd have them sell brownies until The Man tries to arrest them, have your dude fight and subsequently get fatally shot, or if things are conservative enough, wounded then beaten to death. 

But I got a better idea of how to make unwanted liberals self-pwn: have a self-immolation protest option, like the buddhist monks who burned themselves to death to protest the Vietnam war.  It would need to have a decent payoff to change public opinion, it's almost like terrorizing/traumatizing people into seeing things your way - love it.

Sounds a little overpowered. You could just get a bunch of hippies and burn them all. Maybe it would be better if only liberals with a certain juice level could use it. Of course that sort of defeats your original purpose of disposing of the unwanted.

I would prefer letting my useless liberals go out with a bang instead of a burn, and suicide-bomb the Prison.
I'd really like to see larger-scale methods of violence for the liberals, like bombings and mass prison breaks. Or stealing a tank from the army base. Fun, fun, fun.

I like the idea of suicide bombing attacks. I like to play LCS like i'm a urban-terrorist anyway.

I think the idea presented in the OP isn't that great, but it would be cool if we could have legal and illegal protesting. (In C+ society, all dissent is treason, and thus all protesting is illegal.)

Apparently, I'm the only one who sends useless liberals on Molotov Attacks versus the Police Station...

As implemented, Molotov Cocktails are basically suicide weapons.

Still, the idea of extreme protests is interesting.

Considering the self-immolation button... Previous jobs + juice should be a determining factor.

Send an elite liberal/eminent scientist... all interest/opinions go sky high in your favor.

Send the dreg's of society/hippie... conservatives construe it as wild hobo's trying to attack society or something.

Send people less then 200 juice...  just a small blip, if anything.  Police say it was caused by an accident as they tried to play with fire.

[tasteful]

or people with low enough juice and heart, when commanded to do it, will refuse and turn against the squad?

[klingon13524]

The whole point of the suggestion is that if you dismiss or suicide run someone, they'll turn on you.

[Alpheus]

I like the strict job/juice requirements idea - 500 or even 1000 with a 'respectable' profession.  Maybe you could have the result be bumping up one law towards the liberal direction, say have a select protest issue question before going up in revolting greasy smoke.  Maybe some bonus if you could get a priest or nun to do it, as they're supposedly the sort the masses look to for ethical guidance.
