    Not an American or a liberal, and yes, china is authoritarian. Is america better? No. The credit score system in the US is also bad.

        You ain’t wrong about the social credit thing! There was only one municipality that tried to implement it in any way that even vaguely resembles how mainstream media hysterics portray, and that city’s administration was punished for it on the national stage.

        The only thing the “social credit” system was meant to do is make major public figures accountable for corruption. It was never aimed at REGULAR people!

        But yeah nah fuck anyone and anything that opposed democracy especially the two faced single political party of the United States of America. If they actually gave a shit about democracy for real instead of just consuming lives to pay for their pedophilia addictions, we’d have ranked choice voting by now.

          Unfortunately I don’t think ranked choice voting will save you. You need to clear the board so to speak and get some options that actually represent people over corporate interests.

        Re: authoritarianism— your opinion.

        Some of us aren’t in favour of oppressive regimes that aren’t transparent, surveil, and censor.

            It is possible to oppose all three things. It is possible to simultaneously oppose the Social Credit System in China, the Credit Score system in the United States, and the elites connected to Jeffrey Epstein.

          I am a Chinese minority living in China. You really don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to China. You very clearly have done 0 research beyond maybe reading RFA. You should be quiet until you have done some proper research.

                Well in the comment I said that you didn’t explain why I was wrong and simply resorted to making a string of ad hominems.

                So I’ll reiterate: ad hominem, ad hominem, ad hominem.
