    People look at me like I'm insane when I try to point out that the Chinese social credit system has a publicly available list of things you can do to make it go up.

    They also refuse to see the similarities between what they imagine the Chinese social credit system to be and what America actually is.

      It's horrible and dystopian and awful, and already exists in the fucking American empire. There are no good guys, all states are bastards.

        ? Have you even read anything about the actual implementation in China?

        It's entirely based on municipal decisions, as in it's a democratic system. It's also used as a replacement for things that would have incurred fines or jail time before.

        Now instead of getting arrested or fined, you get a hit on your score and can make it up by doing community service, or just let it sit and not have the bonuses you get for a higher score like cheaper HSR tickets.

            It's not even a panopticon. Most implementations of the system are identical to whatever existed before, but now instead of getting arrested or ticketed, you get your score hit and have to do community work to get it back up.

            The whole assertion that it was all integrated AI shit with CCTVs and stuff is based off a single proposal by Ali-Baba that was shot down like immediately.

                Lmao I saw that thread, they were just suggesting that NK isn't as bad as Western media is suggesting. You're the one who kept asserting that line.

                Anyways reddit exists if you're into the whole I hate Asian government thing

                  It's a monarchy. I'm not saying it has no virtue. They were denying it's a fucking hereditary monarchy.

                    take care not to fall for the tired anticommunist trope of pretending that the head of state has absolute power

                              Hitler was bad, Hitler and Stalin fought, therefore stalin was a good cool guy (okay he was cool as fuck)

                              Skimmed this, it's basically the same shit the Americans did to the vietnamese 15 years later? Evil empire is evil; I'm not shocked. What's it have to do with north Korea being good/bad?

                                  Dude it's like 800 pages. Nothing in there could shock me; I know the shit Americans did to autistic kids and their Tuskegee syphilis experiments, it's not going to make me think Americans are more evil than they are.

                                  But none of this makes north Korea less evil, in the same way the Holocaust is not a defense of Zionist terrorists occupying Palestine.

                    I mean it's not a monarchy, like it's literally just not one, but the positions been hereditary for sure.

                    I'm not sure if it's officially hereditary though, the people of North Korea genuinely do like them lol.

                    Call that from the propaganda, or just respect for the family that kept them safe from imperials idk. But it's not actually a monarchy.
