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.

It’s not even a panopticon. Most implementations of the system are identical to whatever existed before, but now instead of getting arrested or ticketed, you get your score hit and have to do community work to get it back up.

The whole assertion that it was all integrated AI shit with CCTVs and stuff is based off a single proposal by Ali-Baba that was shot down like immediately.
