We have seen that the founding Titan can alter the memory of the Eldians and I haven't read the manga and on the anime it is Eldian propaganda when it says that, but didn't it say that the king could genetically modify Eldians? (it said something about diseases not killing Eldians because the king would change their DNA to make the people not affected by the virus).
Anyway in the anime we see to be in an age similar to our 1914-1918 so in a few years the authoritarian systems should be starting to pop up, the founding titan powers would be every authoritarian's wet dream, imagine if Stalin could change peoples memories after they get imprisoned for "reeducation" he could literally change their memories and then release them the next day to be loyal citizens, now let's go back to the universe, the king could allow free speech so that anyone can oppose him openly however after seeing who opposes him, he can just change their memories and change their opinions, imagine if you were a normal citizen and everytime someone was an opponent of the king after a few months/years they become supporters, you would think you live in the best country in the world.
Now if I remember correctly and DNA modification is possible through the founding Titan another more insidious thing can happen, what if the king just modified his critics' brains so that they don't feel happiness, or making them extremely arrogant and lashing out at people for the smallest thing as such alienating people that would support them, therefore to a normal citizen it would seem the options are the king or some extremely unhappy guy that lashes out at everyone for no reason.
These are just some thoughts, I am sure someone has thought of something similar and posted it however I don't browse that much so I haven't seen such a post or what people think about the concept, what do you think? Is such a thing possible?

I don't get the point of this post; the title says something different, and you're talking about hypothetical usage of the Founder's power in the actual post.

Regardless, all that is very likely to happen if a dictator/king had full biological control of his subjects.

After the 3 walls were in place the royal family didn't really used the power of the founding titan, they just transmitted it as the generations go. So I pretty much agree with you that they could have used it more efficiently and your idea isn't bad either, It could be really interesting to see it used like that but it would in my opinion make the progression of the story harder for the characters.

yess , ur Acutally right , but I think the not staring the rumbling , thing tht fritz did also took away these powers too, i think founding Titan is litreally god , there was one point in the S3 tht we got to know tht the founder can't erase the memory of the Ackermens , and now eren can do it (won't go in tht detail cause spoilers) many people are saying it's a plot hole , but I think wht if the king fritz personally decided to grant Ackermens this liberty , so that they can act for the people (the eldians) as the people did nothing wrong , it was the royal family tht committed all those crimes , all I think tht king fritz was a really good guy , but other than facing the consequences of wht his ancestors did , he just went into mental darkness and ran away, so i think that it was fritz who like took all the powers away from the royal family and gave liberties to Ackermens so tht they can act to dispose of the blue bloods when things goes south. like a ultimate weapon for the eldians , and basically thts wht levi and Mikasa , and wht they do is basically spank around the 9 greats when they start miss behaving.

I agree with the replies that the story wouldn't progress, I just thought of it as a hypothetical of the powers

I mean they had all this power and they never used it that's why I put the title.

In my opinion the king jumped the gun lol, wasn't one of the reasons he went to paradis that the nobles were fighting each other with the titans? He could just stop them, (I know that that would make for a boring story for the anime I am just putting hypotheticals here within the powers of the people in the anime). Furthermore he thinks of all the bad things eldians did however he can just be the chagne lmao he could just call all eldians to the paths like eren did and be like "ay yo stop being dicks to non Eldians. Why you may ask? Because I am your king lol now obey". Instead of making the royal family self-destructive pacifists, he could just make the following generations obey a command to be good to their subject and treat them fairly.

😂😂 yeah tbh , ur absolutely right man , we all can agree tht king fritz was not a good leader , and deff not a genius , man could have solved all this , i remember Willy hyping up the king like "mah man dope" , he deserved to die a brutal death after tht, I'm not saying it didn't made a great story , obviously practical things are boring. But hypothetically speaking , he was preety dumb leader.
