People are people no matter where they live, which also means you can't trust any government anywhere. Propaganda is powerful.
The idea of a social credit score has always been hilarious to me, like yo bros we have credit scores over here and they legitimately fuck us over since you need good credit to do alot of things like renting a place to live.
Well the social credit system had pilot cities. Apparently it failed. Also China had (apparently millions of) people banned from e.g. flying due to social misdeeds (seemingly unrelated to the social credit system)
The social credit system like depicted in western memes was of course non sense. And e.g. America has put people on no-fly lists too.
But comparing social credit with financial credit, wild. And yes, especially the American financial credit score is a joke and a scam and should be banned. But that comparison is just wild.
