What do you do to politically influence the world around you?

Constraints:
>You have a 50 year life-expectancy. This means if you are 18, you have 32 years to accomplish your goals.
>What you do must be realistic, insofar as "kill all niggers/jews" is an impossibly large task for a single person.
>"Great Man" theory doesn't apply completely, but if you do kill X, hypothesize that it has some effect on the world, just not an engulfing amount.

I would just try to advance technology as much as possible and maybe if I was really a bad dude we could avoid two major world wars but people would probably just think I'm a cook and as I entered into this world essentially as a drifter with strange modern clothes I probably wouldn't survive more than two weeks anyway.

I do nothing as the way geopolitics were shaped at the time, killing or saving a single person would not have changed anything in the long run. WW1, communism etc would still have happened later on. This is just fucked up the world was at the time.

I'd probably attempt to kill most of the bolsheviks and try to make friends with as many important figures as possible.

Initially, making money would be my primary concern. This can take the form of investing in Edison, Ford, and becoming an inventor. Investing in Colt before the 1911 came out would be a plus as well, but I can't think of any other companies to invest in.

Making friends with Theodore Roosevelt is high on my list, since if I can convince him to either endorse me as his protege, or just have him never place Taft as president, I could hopefully get an Amendment to Ban the Federal Reserve from ever becoming a thing.

Since I only have until 1923, I would need to get many things done before then. Having Lenin arrested and becoming key advisor to the White Army would be nice. Russia needed reform, but Communists aren't the way forward. Perhaps a constitutional monarchy would work, in the same way it worked for UK.

Avoiding the First World War is of top priority, as well as the Breakup of the British Empire. If the war does happen, then making sure that the Germans aren't economically destroyed is paramount.

After all that, I'd try and settle down and meet with all my favorite authors and painters.

Also would kill communists with semiautomatic rifles.

Become a firearms designer. I know enough about gun design that i could produce self loading rifles, modern handguns. The technology of 1891, metals, powders etc was good enough to support near modern firearm designs, it just took them 20 - 60 years to get their shit together.

Anyone saying they would advance technology or change history is larping unless you have detailed knowledge.

1) Bust my ass helping FDR's business rivals until he is literally a homeless beggar, ensuring that based Hoover gets re-election and the economy is fixed by 1936 because the likes can only fight him and his cabinet's economic genius for so long unlike with FDR where he literally let them gut the damn nation for 7 years
2) Prove to based Bismark that I know what I'm talking about by providing him with troop and munitions movements in the beginning weeks of the french assault(I know way more about The Great War than anyone not getting paid to know about it should). Hand him Russia's eastern movements on a platter for the entire war preventing him from having his forces split at the end and guaranteeing a dominating control of most of the axis controlled territory and guaranteed victory

a basic highschool education now is leagues above the highest geniuses of old, a university one even more so
the simple electronics knowledge you get from learning how your computer works and fixing some shit would cause a technological boom, and advance everything in the field a full century

if you have your phone on you, this advancement could happen in a matter of years, instead of decades

Tilting barrel started with model of Browning model of 1900, open bolt sub-gun hadn't been developed, modern rimless pistol cartridges weren't developed, self loading rifles weren't a thing, the maxim gun was basically the most advanced firearm. 1891 wouldn't be a bad date i think.

You fucking retard, you can't even begin to understand a smartphone's circuits without an electron microscope.

Unless you're saying you have fundamental scientific and engineering texts saved on your phone and know how to charge it without access to the electric grid.

>you wake up in 1891
nothing says I don't have the shit in my pockets, and I frequently fall asleep with everything on me

while having an electron microscope would be extremely helpful, you can gleam more than a few technological insights without it, and likely spurn efforts into making more sophisticated microscopes to look at the phone in more detail later on
they also have the perk of having the owner of the device right fucking there, which if they aren't some mall sharting dropout, would have knowledge about the components in the phone, and could explain some of the things they couldn't quite figure out

that was averaged from a high infant mortality- you are just as likely to live to 65 then as you are today. past that, today has some advantages.

Use knowledge of the stock market to make a shitload of money. Found a popular newspaper, convince Americans that going to war in Cuba, and central banking are betraying the principals of the Founding Fathers. Pay hitmen to kill young Hitler, Stalin, and Lenin. Tell European leaders, revealing I'm from the future and that they'll ruin everything if they go to war with each other. Fuck young Princess Kaiulani and Molly Brown" because why not?

Oh yeah, and kill Donald Trump's ancestors to keep Barron from trying to stop me.
