Wow...I didn't realize just how dystopian this "Social Credit System" is in China

[acri1]

Randomly came across this video. I'm only about five minutes in and it's

I'd heard about it before but I didn't realize it was like that. Shyt is crazy. Bonkers. They're literally monitoring everybody almost 24 hours a day and actually shaming people publicly.



It's insane that the Chinese populace is (ostensibly) okay with this. It's not an exaggeration to say it's 1984 status over there.

The Chinese value the collective over the individual.

Way too broad - there are plenty that aren't on that wave. The government wouldn't have to be going after so many people if they were all happy to be in line.

That's a fact, but it's a relatively recent development. Chinese society is largely based on Confucianism that stresses traditionalism and conformity over western enlightenment values of individualism.

As a society that's true but it's always worth remembering that even in "conforming" societies you can't stereotype everyone. There are literally millions of Chinese activists.

It's really scary and it's like that black mirror episode

I had to read up on this on wikipedia
Social Credit System - Wikipedia

"The credit system is closely related to China's mass surveillance systems such as the Skynet, which incorporates facial recognition system and big data analysis technology."

They literally call their shyt Skynet, like the Terminator

One of the coolest MMA fighters in the world has had his social credit score tanked because he has been challenging fake martial artists in China and beating them. It's fukked up because he's an authentic man of principle and is being destroyed by Chinese propaganda and this BS social credit system.

He believes in his cause though.

It's very interesting and the story starts at 19:22. I time-coded the video to start there.

Scary stuff. 5 star thread.

I wonder what social score Einstein would have had after all the shyt he said about them.


Einstein's travel diaries reveal 'shocking' xenophobia
“even those reduced to working like horses never give the impression of conscious suffering. A peculiar herd-like nation, often more like automatons than people.”

“It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.”

What would Xi's Great Leap Forward look like if you had to guess?

Everyone on here bashes the United States day in day out...but here's the country that's trying to supplant us. Ya'll really want that?
