R. Guyovich posted:fewer gullible people in the west thinking it's a real and pervasive thing would be a good start. individual companies like sesame credit do their thing and some local governments but there is no centralized "credit score" for everyone a la black mirror. R. Guyovich posted:there is no unified "social credit score." which i've said repeatedly here. R. Guyovich posted:no, they wouldn't. the whole narrative is about a centralized system that, again, doesn't exist. you are still stupid, congratulations! http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1149741.shtml quote:Social credit system to restore morality Good news everyone! According to China's own state media, the centralized national-level social credit system to evaluate, monitor, and rank citizens in part based on their behavior is just around the corner! I suspect this will get handwaved away though, because the Global Times didn't specifically use the phrase "black mirror".

You have to build the Communist New Man somehow, especially when you're the lone revolutionary power in the world, cannot establish full Communism, and are always one crisis away from being dismantled like the USSR. Capitalism promotes sociopathic anti social behavior. The credit system is designed to do the opposite, to promote ethical communalism within the people. It's pretty similar to Comrade Che's merit award system he created for factory workers who exceeded expectations in their labors.

When I was in Shanghai I noticed that some public toilets have dispensers for toilet paper but you need to scan your face to get it. I didn't try because I brought my own (a piece of advice that I'm super glad to have heard!). I was going to ask, do they work for non-citizens or do you need to be in some database? If so do they stop you wiping your rear end if you get bad social credit for poo poo-talking Xi online lol? Generally speaking what benefits/punishments does the credit system entail?

I dont get it so is the social credit stuff not real, actually a good thing, the same as America, or are we moving on to hot water? It's kind of hard following all these hot takes.

Nobody asked, but let me give my opinion of social credit: Social credit is a bad thing. Go watch the TV serie "The Wire". Wen humans are forced to satisfy a statistic, they game it, the statistic start to look better, but is often at the sacrifice to the real thing. Game score is a thing that will not make people better citizens, will get in the way, and sometimes will be between people and a healthy life. https://medium.com/@roshanrevankar/juking-the-stats-5926eaf5464

So what if it's a local policy for Beijing? Why does that change anything when it comes to talking about whether its good or bad? Also, if they introduced it in Beijing, it wouldn't be a giant leap to expect it to appear in other places later on.

The thing that gets me about the social credit score When they made the choose your own adventure one it just felt like a pain in the rear end every time I had to choose, I just wanted to sit back and relax. And I forgot I had subtitles set to Chinese, and that made all the choices Chinese. They give you so little time to choose it was just all stressful. So I didn't finish it, all that videogame poo poo was boring. But that one where that girl is in a village and everyones trying to kill her and shes trying to escape but in the end you find out everyone is an actor and it's like an amusement park thing to torture her every day because she murdered some girl. But they make her have amnesia every day, that was good. poo poo, that's spooky.

Yes there’s a social credit system, but no it’s not going to be as retarded and immediate as black mirror where you lose privileges within the next 5 minutes of X (unless you get arrested or something)
