The whole “social credit score” thing isn’t even an outlandish concept. It’s just laws. We have those. Breaking rules makes your life harder, that’s the whole idea. Libs just always make shit up like “uhhh you will lose human rights if you speak ill about the government.”
I mean come on, next you’re gonna tell me they make school children chant some kind of “loyalty pledge” to their country every morning or some other cultish behavior.

I mean, they do. It’s just like any other pledge though
Every time Reddit posts a video of Chinese children playing some team-based game, all the comments are like
The orientals are training their children to become bloodthirsty soldiers. The repetitiveness of the children’s game is meant to dull their minds and make them compliant to any and all orders from the authorities. Every thing a Chinese person does, whether it’s saying the pledge of taking a shit at 2:30am, is meant to harden their brains into destroying the west and embracing totalitarianism
I’m going to assume that’s not true in the absense of any evidence.
The most I could find on googling this source wise was some indication that the social credit system might incorporate laws against drunk driving as in drunk driving will lower social credit scores
OMG, I can’t believe they’re targeting drunk drivers. Won’t anyone think of these people who put others in danger driving in their hunks of metal
Westerners like to imagine they control people by not letting them travel after they misunderstood the unbelievably mundane “social credit” system that railroads weren’t letting fare evaders buy new tickets until they had paid the fine the previous infractions.
I think they also use it to incentivise giving blood, taking care of elderly relatives as well as a form of punishment for fraud, crypto bullshit and things like that
another aspect of western misunderstanding was imagining multiple distinct systems as comprising a single totalitarian “social credit score”. China has systems that work like normal credit scores and track fraud in business. The stuff about losing your travel privileges was all just about offenses directly against the railroads like smoking in non-smoking sections and fare evasion.
“The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!”, I say, smugly, as I check my FICO score to see if I am allowed to purchase shelter yet
Social credit memes have gone so out of hand that neoliberal news media and NGOs had to do damage control and correct these claims. Social credit is only applied to businesses and individual business owners so people can verify they have a clean history
Social credit memes have gone so out of hand that neoliberal news media and NGOs had to do damage control and correct these claims
at which point become convinced that China controls and censors western neoliberal media.
Wait till they hear about what the American government does to people who break the rules
Hopefully thinking cars are good things to own hurts your social credit score.
