Does Force Chocking work over a screen? Timothy Zahn's Outbound Flight novel had C'Baoth doing it, but I'm not sure of the canonical status of such a power. And that was a two-way video communication link between the bridges of two starships, would it work on a broad-sourced video broadcast not directed at me personally?

Fast tract toward learning mind control and use it to manipulate people and than erase their memories of the fact. So basically think a remote use date rape drug that I'd use to get everything I want.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

I’d basically have Darth Sidious levels of power. Your nukes would get destroyed before they even hit me.

I'd try and do good, however living a mostly normal life would be nice. Maybe use it to enrich myself, redirect funds from corrupt offices back to the causes they're meant to support.

But yeah, some people would die too.

I mean. Vader does it over a screen too.

I don't think I'd want to do anything important with the force powers. I'd more likely be that person who literally spent their whole life just learning things and storing them in holocrons so a future generation can use them. I think this person was a Sith but I can't remember their name and I suspect they are no longer cannon after Disney came along but I might be wrong.
Merry Christmas!
