    That you critique China without researching it

    So not liking something from China automatically means I didn’t “research” it? Interesting. /s

    That you share lies about China

    Care to back up that bold claim?

    That you don’t think there’s anything to discuss positively about the Chinese project aligns with the state department.

    Sure you’re not talking about someone else?

      You said “you don’t know how much I considerer both systems” in another comment.

      That’s pretty much all the back up one needs.

      The social credit system in China does not apply to individuals. It was originally designed for businesses. A limited pilot in certain locales was applied to individuals. That pilot program was shutdown in 2019.

      So sure, go ahead and consider both systems that actually really exist. Go ahead and claim that both things can be bad. Keep on pretending!

        If that’s all you need to accept a wild fucking guess: you do you.

        Go ahead and claim that both things can be bad.

        Cool, I will.

        Keep on pretending!

        … that two things can be bad at the same time? Are you claiming that I “pretend” that malaria and the flu are both bad and actually one of them is great?

          I am claiming that you pretend malaria and bad humors are both bad. One exists. The other doesn’t. You don’t seem to have the willingness to acknowledge that. The social credit score in China that effects individuals does not exist. Sure. You can say both the US credit scoring system and the nonexistent Chinese personal social credit score are bad, but that would be foolish.

          You could be saying that the US credit score system and the Chinese social credit score that is used to manage negative externalities of businesses are both bad, but I would disagree with you.

          But I am pretty sure you don’t know that the social credit score for individuals does not exist.
