People look at me like I’m insane when I try to point out that the Chinese social credit system has a publicly available list of things you can do to make it go up.
They also refuse to see the similarities between what they imagine the Chinese social credit system to be and what America actually is.
It’s horrible and dystopian and awful, and already exists in the fucking American empire. There are no good guys, all states are bastards.
? Have you even read anything about the actual implementation in China?
It’s entirely based on municipal decisions, as in it’s a democratic system. It’s also used as a replacement for things that would have incurred fines or jail time before.
Now instead of getting arrested or fined, you get a hit on your score and can make it up by doing community service, or just let it sit and not have the bonuses you get for a higher score like cheaper HSR tickets.
