Remind me, were we supposed to be disgusted and afraid of the Chinese social credit score system because it included woke BS like how nice you are to others, and how things you do improve society, rather than just laser-focusing on the only important thing— whether your existence can be monetized by rich assholes?

My original comment points out the social credit system is something that doesn't really exist but was used to scare western capitalists. I'm merely saying that non-existent Boogeyman is actually being used through a financial lens in the US instead.

It was definitely pitched in western media as something we should all fear. I just found it funny that everything that they tried to scare us with ("it might be used to determine whether you get a job or can rent an apartment!") applied equally to our credit scores.

E: So, yeah, completely agree.

No, because the writing was weird and foreign.

You were supposed to he disgusted at the other stuff.

"Weird and Foreign" has entered the chat. 👀

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Well that's why you're supposed to be afraid of it.

There was some conservative user a while ago on lemmy that thought I was a "Chinese Bot"/"Scammer" because of the "Asian Writing" in the username, I'm an American citizen lmfao
