No Chinese person will criticize this because criticizing the government will cost you points.
Ever been to China? Ever counted how many people have a Chinese flag hanging off their house because they're desperate to be seen as being 100% supportive of the "best country in the world" out of fear of what will happen to their patriotism score card if they don't? Your profile pic looks a lot like you're trying really hard to fit in to your system. Harder than most chinese try to fit into theirs. How much do you spend on teeth whitening and hair gel trying to improve your follower count on insta? And why do you think jumping through those hoops without thinking about why makes you more free than someone in another country?
You know that pledge of allegiance thing you did every school day without ever questioning why? That was brainwashing. You're just another boiled frog who doesn't realise it.
Noises I woke up like this.
@@cameronosborne7405 research 50 cent army. you're probably getting ripped on by a shill who makes $0.03 USD per hour lol.
There isn't RUclips in mainland China, most Chinese people that are commenting wouldn't lose their points. They are just telling the truth from their perspective. Try to understand where they are coming from.
No, such persons like me will probably be INVITED to have tea with the national security police, and our names be put on Key Population Watchlist
George Orwell’s 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a tutorial.
@Butch Dye. Oh my god no shit. You really thinks so?
None of the people who are high scorers on the system look very happy.
In the end, It was like she was trying not to speak wrong about the system in any way.
This should terrify every single adult in the world. It terrifies ME, & the worst "crime" I've done is speeding. No way. No thank you. And HELL NO.
This what planned for the rest of the world
As a Chinese I actually agree that these cameras are starting to get more and more involved with tracking individuals down, rather than providing security. In China most people live in residences, the residence which I live installed cameras at the entrance and exit gates and each time a car or a pedestrian passes, the camera flashes. By this simple flash the government can know what car you’re driving, who you are with on the car, the clothes you were wearing, when you came in and when you left. There are not only cameras everywhere, but the police is also tracking your internet history. My mom bought some fertilizer from the Alibaba website (taobao), few days later a cop showed up at our house asking why we needed fertilizer for and suspected that we were making bombs or explosive stuff. They sure over imagine things, but it’s also scary to know that they know every single detail of what you’ve done online.
There was a while I think a year ago, where there was a big international conference called the G20 I think, that took place in Beijing. Around that time the government shut the whole express delivery down, and many people selling things online or who bought stuffs online and who were living in Beijing had a pretty hard time. They couldn’t neither mail nor receive a package, which to me shows how the government didn’t take in consideration the needs of the people and valued their own needs above everyone elses. It’s the same for these cameras, who knows whether it’s used to protect you or to track you down.
@Blind Visionary "You do their work for them"... Damn that's insane
@Blind Visionary
Standardise the assessment of citizens!
Sounds like someone organising cattle or sheep.
Those cameras are to track people and micromanage every detail of your life. Not for your safety. Invasions of privacy getting to be ridiculous. It's none of the government's business what you buy, who you talk to, where you go....they have no right to do alot of the BS being done with this alien technology and the less you're dependent on it the better off you will be. Black scrying mirrors, think about it sheeple and wake up before they brainwash you. Don't laugh, it's happening all over the world....
I wanted to write something, but you're probably using a VPN or a Chinese agent so I won't for your safety.
No wonder Hong Kong'ers are freaking the hell out!
Yes, some of the camera was installed in Hong Kong. It will happened in Hong Kong within 3 years if we not stop them!
Yes, and the young HK revolutioners beat the shit out of a newly installed led light pole. Government said it's a led buld, who knows what else it can do!
Then they would be freaking out over something that happens worldwide, that just happens to a less obvious extent.
@@leonliang723 They can beat Chinese shoppers that's contributing to their city economies and burn people that don't agree with em
@@ctim622 Now yall know why we americans love guns, we'd be in a civil war with the government over that shit
This type of surveillance state is what the people of Hong Kong are fighting to avoid. Mainland Chinese are used to living like this so they absolutely don't understand what true freedom is like.
This also planned for the rest of the world
Being a good person means nothing when you have no choice but to be one. It's more of a model prisoner program.
and that definitions of "good" is subject to the whims of the party leaders... so it may not be "good". I call it accepting, complacent, submissive, deferential, acquiescent, inferior, servile, slavish, resigned, cowering, obedient, ... and the list goes on.
"The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of democracy, a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not dream of escape. A system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, slaves would love their servitude." Aldous Leonard Huxley
Korea, not China, fits exactly that description. China has, unlike Russia and Vietnam. NO elections at all; In Vietnam, only the communist party is allowed but independents are allowed to run the "elections" Singapore is not a true surveillance state.
@@aabb-zz9uw

How can China's social credit score not be a crime against humanity?
Explain why it's a crime against humanity.
Hey yuh would you like to receive a call from IRS all the time?
And other countries?what's the difference?
They're ruled by a communist party (although not economically) so the media and institutions like the UN usually give them a free pass. If it was a Conservative or Republican party then the media would go balls deep pointing it out and trying to link it to Trump.
china controls world trade... sooooooo

i watched an episode on black mirror on Netflix that reminded me of this. This is so crazy, I owe numerous medical bills from having lung cancer. Just to be judged on finances alone is ludicrous, there are things out of our control.
Blitzy each country practice their own constitution, war were fought to defends their view and ideas, we can’t change the past, but change our future, being free is not longer free life, we can’t trust human to remain free of trouble or crime, our society treat that behavior badly,

You are telling me if I have a party at home and ordered 25 cases of beer for my guests, I will be classified as 'dependant' because of a purchase? This is a terrible idea. I like my tasty dependant beer.
Those who sacrifice liberty for safety will end up with neither.
Our forefathers were so wise
If you have rats, then you place down traps. Soon you will realize the more traps you lay, the fewer places you can go.
Untrue. Women very often choose safety over liberty, including men's liberty. They end up with safety as well as some degree of liberty at men's expense.
@@madmax5841 haahahahahahahahahah "some degree of liberty"?. Its all or nothing buddy when it comes to liberty. Thaz the beauty of it.
No, they'll end up with the illusion of safety, while being constantly exploited by their oppressors.
The reporter's face is very depressed in China. God bless him.
I'm curious if people interviewed had their score lowered after this aired?
While you're watching this, Peter Dutton is introducing a law that give government access to all your online information, so how about focusing on Australia instead of China ABC?
Hello, everyone. I am Chinese and I want to say that this is not people's decision. China doesn't work as most western countries and policy doesn't require people's agreement to be executed. Most Chinese are against this and trying their best to make the country democratic. But it is a process and takes time to improve without a war. Please show some respect and understand before leaving some very racist comments. Thank you.
Actually that system stems from communism and it's an ideology from the west first adopted in China by Mao in the French District of Shanghai.
Starting from ‘Hello, everyone’ and ending with ‘thank you’... it just feels like a weird monologue...
Frederic Desjardins cannot read ur nonsense...
You want to know what's really funny? What happens in our country is not the will of the people, but of large corporations. Whether it is policy, or the next big war where they send our troops off to die, what we think doesn't matter. We vote for one of the two choices we are allowed to... and they are all funded by the same type of people. Democracies are just as easy to control so long as you maintain the illusion of choice. Read propaganda by Edward Bernays for more information on how we are controlled.
I'd rather die than live in a surveillance state like that.
This is why 5g is so controversial. Now we can leave phones at home or not go to public places, we can opt out... Nobody can opt out of 5g. all the equipment hardware and software comes from China. It's a personal, private, state and a national security risk. Its scarry.
hate to say it, but it'll be your reality soon.
Tf you already are in one
Moon Walker - Snowden uncovered how the NSA spied on you in 2013! Do you not think that that whole data gathering enterprise has advanced by now, into something so sophisticated it would make your skin crawl?
Basically, if you're ranked badly by such a regime, you're doing something right.
Ben Franklins warning still holds true today: when you give up your freedom for security - you wind up with neither.
The creepy thing is that chinese people seem to like this.
I think they can't act like they hate and even disgusted by it
Or the scores drop, well, good luck to 'em

Did you see the report? Many chinese people dont like it. Those who like the system have High scores and thus freedom of movement. Those who have low scores and say they like the system are afraid of getting even lower scores yet. It is a self fulfilling prophecy

Listening to that young Chinese Woman, she should read Benjamin Franklin quote --- "Those that give up their freedom for safety, will soon find that they have neither" --- she is a very naive woman if she thinks it is appropriate for a country to do this.
You foreigners complain about Chinese people being rude, spitting in public, jaywalking, disobeying traffic laws, so the Chinese government is using social credit to discourage such behavior and prevent such people from buying tickets to fly to other countries and make a nuisance of themselves, at least until their score becomes acceptable.
Dead fish do follow the stream, especially if it's a nice ride :)
@Komorebi23 I wouldn't go that far. They've got a different temperament compared to the overfriendly Japanese for example. But I got by quite well traveling in China. They would be so much more relaxed if they didn't have to put up with their new Stalinist leader... China is devolving unfortunatelly...
Benjamin Franklin is American. You cannot blend Eastern philosophy including Daoism and Confuscism with your western ideas of individualism.
@Komorebi23 Racist? I wonder which bastards enslaved the blacks. I wonder which bastards wiped out the Incan civilization in South America. I wonder which bastards cut off the hands of native people from Congo. I wonder which "freedom fighter" invaded and destroyed countries, and used their country as a testing ground for their MOAB bombs.
Again, the Chinese most racist? I think not. At least you don't see police shooting black people in China. There are Chinese police who are now forbidden to even carry firearms.
i feel sick to my stomach now.
Wow, the Netflix adaptation of Psychopass looks depressing.
1984... It’s happening!
I don't like the way this world is heading!
this world is heading on the path to the new world order where everything is controlled by the government it will be a cashless society global, no privacy, and no freedom. Also everyone would have a rifd chip implant inside of there right hand and foreheads then the cities themselves will be controlled they will have micro chip apartments everywhere, controlled cars, controlled street lights, controlled trash cans, and facial recognitions global.

"Those who'd give up liberty for a little security deserve neither" - Ben Franklin

@Geoff Gullion 50 cent army is here asss kissing the CCP lol
They are sad lifeless people.
This is truly horrifying. The most disturbing part is the willingness of some the participants involved.
Look carefully. Some interview looks “one sided”, incomplete & cut-pasted/heavily-edited. Need more/better researched.
The edit is not important. The concept and implementation of digital social engineering is the important subject here. To be blind to and accepting of such a dystopian future is to willingly accept the loss of your few remaining freedoms.
@@BobMarley-yq3wi - I wouldn't make such hasty conclusion. The interviewee just talk to the screen but we never hear what questions they were asked or told what kind of interview is it about. Investigative journalism isn't so straight forward otherwise anyone would succeed easily. R u a successful expert investigator yourself? Best be more open/knowledgeable/sensitive to people of different history-culture-philosophy & not think that western morality-philosophy-worldview is perfect or superior to all other worldviews (like the Nazis or white supremist?) 😝
I am particularly sensitive to the facist dictatorships of the past such as those which you mention - white suprematist nazis, Marxists and communists. History has proven time and time again that the control of communication, movement of people and suppression of social minorities only leads to the torture and suffering of the society as a whole. I was once hopeful that China was on a path to democracy and that it’s people could be allowed to prosper, instead since mao’s cultural devolution we have only seen increased corruption, greed and totalitarianism. Perhaps you would like to defend your governments 2nd batch of potentially deadly child vaccines, produced under the leadership of the same official. Or maybe the deadly contaminated baby milk formula? Clearly the health and well-being of the Chinese people is not the top of the agenda here, just as the surveillance system shown in this video is not.
@@BobMarley-yq3wi - The 1st part of the video warned the reporter that he is in traffic danger/violation as he was trying to cross the road during the Do Not Cross period & that could have save his life but u r right in some way (greed & cronyism has increased & they continue to ban-restrict Falun Gong & religious/news freedom). Mass surveillance can be abused in the hands of sick maniacs/perverts. So can news in the hands of manipulative psychopaths/sociopaths. So can guns & nukes by murderous lunatics/sadists/bigots. R u advocating a world where everyone/anyone should own tanks, machine guns, laser-spy satellites, spy-missile drones, ICBMs & nukes? Or the opposite where everyone own no more than butter knives? The Chinese would need to have sufficient checks & balance in place otherwise corruption & abuses can take place. Just like the nuclear defence system ... otherwise some random angry soldier (with keys/access to a nuclear missile) could just nuke a city when his girlfriend humilated & dump him in front of friends-families, yes? 😂 Seriously if the government wants to put people in total control they could just force everyone to wear e-collars (like dogs & prisoners) which can track-shock-reward them 24/7. I guess only time will tell if the checks & balances r good enough. 😝
Wasn't this the plot to a Black Mirror episode?
Yep, nosedive
The stuff of nightmares it seems they thought 1984 was an instruction manual.
So is this where we are headed?? Is this why everything is shutting down to reboot system
And doesn't it just give you a warm fuzzy knowing that China is heading (quickly) towards A.I.? God help us. CCA is a mass of apathetic soldiers. Apathetic towards anyone except their beloved China's Communist Party, of course. Who cares how many Americans die? They sure don't. Not now, & especially not if they declare war against us. *sigh*

This is a worst nightmare than any episode of black mirror
This is not just about China, people are afraid that this will happen in their country.
The biggest fear of the Chinese government has is an uprising against the establishment. 1.4billion people.! What happens when there's a recession ? Your social credit score will go down because you will do things you would not normally do just to survive.
This is something all governments would like to do but never say, democracy is becoming bothersome.... and now they have the tools!.
The Chinese are just putting it out there, while western governments keep it more secret.
Because we are supposed to be democratic they need reasons to implement these policies like. terrorist attacks and controlling illegal immigrants etc,. and always sold as " for our benefit and safety ".
What is the point of living if you spend every waking second trying to be a "model citizen" through someone else's lens?
You live a very peaceful yet boring life knowing that you live in a community that wont murder or mug you.
George Orwell 1984. It's here 2020😭
It's got to the point you can't even take a shit in peace without being watched in china.

So your "safety" has become a reality that is dictated who you should be as a person by someone else, having nothing to do with safety.....I don't see a problem with this at all... great idea!....smh. Pretty sure that Suicide Forest in China will be at max capacity caused by sever depression and anxiety in no time or a civil war with the millions on the blacklist....lifeless dictated human robots in the making.
isn't suicide forest in Japan, near mount Fuji?
lol yes but the joke is they’ll have their own because of this....
It should be for individuals to decide who is a good citizen, not the government.
How exactly? It's large corporate media that decides that in Australia and the US
Good point, we need to turn the Corporate media off!
A nightmare in the making. I'm scared of how high the suicide rate may become from people making harmless mistakes.

yall need to chill, this is just like the credit system in canada where i lived. you get points deducted for delay payments of rent or have too many parking tickets and when you apply for loan u have higher interest rates etc. its not as scary as these media are trying to make it sound... im back in china now my score is 636 not exactly high but no inconveniences for most economic activities.

Those who sacrifice freedoms for security deserve neither.
One reason for China’s safe environment is that China is a “surveillance state.” The surveillance cameras have indeed helped a lot, first at deterring those potential criminals, and also at tracking down various criminal cases.
Even in the western world, with today's technology, your social media accounts, phone calls, emails, and your grocery records are all tracked down and stored within the government. Even hackers can steal your information, do you think the government doesn't have this ability?
But keep in mind. We're all ordinary people, as long as you don't do criminal acts such as robbery, there's no need to fear, thus Chinese people are not really "sacrificing" their freedom. They're still free. Only criminals should be worried.
Hong Kong isn't happy and this is a good reason.

This is what happens when you have huge technological advancement without embracing liberal values of personal freedom.
I have just started reading US China specialist Steven Mosher's 2017 book 'Bully of Asia' about how China has been a Totalitarian Police State for nearly 3,000 years using brutality, brainwashing, informer networks to spy on people, collective punishment (punishing acquaintances who did not report dissident) etc. This is the Legalist ideology which seeks to concentrate all power in the Emperor/State and suppress all opposition through a rule of terror. Thus Mao's Cultural Revolution was just repeating traditional Chinese suppression and brutality. Mao boasted that the first Qin emperor only buried alive 460 Confucian scholars, he had killed over 460,000 scholars (intellectuals) - and that the Qin order had survived - the Qin had slave labour forces manned with dissidents, burnt all the political/philosophical books except the emperor's memoirs and executed hundreds of thousands. The Great Wall is known as the longest cemetery in the world as a million dissident-slave labourers died and their bones were used to help build it.
In the 3,000 years up to 1911 - China was engaged in 3,790 wars or 1.26 wars per year as it constantly sought to grab new territory and fight against internal rebellions and peasant uprisings. And it accuses the USA as always being at war! Communist China has been engaged in conflicts with nearly all of its neighbours. China, laughably, sees itself as racially superior to all others and destined to dominate the known world as 'hegemon' to whom every other country 'kowtows' - their historians used to write false histories claiming that other countries' kings such as Britain's George III were its vassals - and expected the Brits to kowtow as inferiors - the Brits showed them the truth and took Beijing with a small Anglo-French force!. China deludes itself that the world looks forward to this 'Great Harmony' brought about by Chinese totalitarianism. Thus China always berates the dominant world power - in the past the USSR after the Sino-Soviet split [when it appeared to be No1] and since 1991 the USA, the world's only superpower. Its aim is to drive the USA out of Asia so that it can have a free hand again for imperialist domination.
China really does have perhaps the most abominable, inhuman history suppressing all individual liberties - although it lies about having 5,000 years of history (when it only has 3,600 years): see: eastasiastudent.net/china/5000-years-history-myth/ www.wa-pedia.com/forum/threads/43752-5000-years-of-chinese-civilization-Really
Nope, this is what happens when people who want power for themselves are able to deploy a new technology, removing your choice of personal freedom... it's not about the "values" you embrace, all it takes is for a few people to not care about what values you'd like, but to know how to fool you for long enough to get into a position where they can act against you. This happens directly, one-on-one, with people you may work with or socialise with, it happens in institutions because these people will be naturally attracted to positions where they are given authority over others without having to earn any trust, like policing or the military, or positions of higher authority over whole areas and groups of people, like government. It doesn't matter how much 90% of the population embrace personal freedom if the other 10% control the wealth, policing, and develop the technology to ensure that 90% (a number that will continue to rise) and kept in place, without the power to challenge the supremacy of the ruling class. It happened with the invention of the machine gun, allowing a few European families who completely embraced their own personal freedom to take over and brutally dominate almost the entire continent of Africa, including the Congo, which became the property of a single man, such was the disparity in the technology that granted the power, a disparity that is nothing compared to what these AI systems will deliver... your biggest weakness is your belief that you are immune to such thing, the belief that you're on the same side as the people who will use a system like this over you in a heartbeat... they might share your values of personal freedom, but they wanna do a very different thing with their freedom that you'll find to be most incompatible with your own. We have no defence against people who like power at any cost, because they're the ones who are motivated, and they will be bringing this to all of us, and by the time we accept that it's actually happening, all avenues of resistance will already be closed to us.
annoloki awesome mate.
AI warfare is the next challenge. Currently, we are not ready.
There's nothing democratic about spying on and discriminating people like that. As a computer science student fascinated and passionate about the concepts of smart cities and the internet of things, I find this system to be repulsive and tyrannical. This does not represent the benefits those concepts can bring to our society and only serves to make people afraid of advancements in this area. Shame on the people behind this dictatorship.
I've never seen more fake smiles in my life

If you haven't already, read Orwell's 1984. We shouldn't be arguing about whether this report was bias to Western culture or not, we should be talking about how frighteningly close we are to living in an Orwellian Nightmare.

exactly john!
Dan-Dan (if I have her name correct), is a selfish and deluded woman, who maybe thinks that marketing is the only profession that counts. I am astonished that she accepts the total control of her life on the basis of a points score, which can change drastically in the event of say, an argument in the home, which may cause the police to attend.
Her husband of course, in well entrenched in the "Party system", being a part of the control system that successive regimes have developed onto maturity.
I wonder, do these people even spare a thought for the millions (population of China = 1.4 billion) of people who are poor, ill-educated and low-skill? I doubt it.
The Communist "way" is to acknowledge that "you can't beat them, so you join them". This way, one is sucked into the corruption and it pays you to go along with it. The investigator who has exposed ACTUAL bad people is now "persona non-grata", as he became a threat to the corrupt, who are totally integral to the regime itself.
I greatly admire the people who speak out and report on this issue, especially those Chinese who talk, knowing they endanger themselves....knowing that, anytime, a few hired goons will burst into their house and carry them off to detention and worse.
The Chinese dictatorship must be shamed at every opportunity and dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 21st Century. However, this is unlikely - as unlikely as my words will be read by anyone with influence. The sheer frustration is overwhelming - who am I? A "keyboard warrior" who cannot do anything about this overtly Satanic regime. All we can do is flood social media with the truth about these retards who run the so-called "People's Republic of China" (that's a laugh!!)
I finish by simply admitting and acknowledging that my "rant" of indignation and disgust will fade into the archives of YT comments, but hoping at the same time that God will ultimately provide these corrupt and devilish leaders and their sycophants with the righteous justice they so richly deserve.
Well said and i concur... resist!
"I think people in every country want a safe and stable society".
Yes, but we do not need to use mass surveillance for that. Think about it chinese data woman.
This is just like an episode of black mirror but becoming reality scary..
The world is turning into an Orson Wells novel
I'm glad I'm old enough to not have to worry about living in it.
HemiHead664 You should honestly, future generations of your family have to grow up living like this, does that sound okay to you?

They're going to have to shape the world they live in. Unless you know of a way that I can stay alive forever and help fix it. I've been a political junkie for about 25 years fighting against the corrupt U.S. Govt. to no avail. The whole system is rigged, even the ballot boxes. So what do you suggest I do?
Remember this the next time you want to criticize Trump for calling out China on its human rights abuses and intellectual property theft.
Watching this i begin to feel blessed for living in Romania, Europe.
Yes, of course you could be more wealthy in France, Germany or Swiss for example, but just think about all the countries in Africa, middle east or for example china where you could were born. I somehow feel even guilty for living in such a prosperous country and having all this possibillities, while billions of people are working 16+ hours a day and have zero life
@@hazoevo3390 i meant that in Romania, the "wave" of progressive, technological changing is slower because we are an ex communist state, we have poor economy (we do not permit implementations as quickly as other european countries do) and romanian people are skeptical, less open to changes in general. We are more conservative and a good part of the elders are religious. That s why i said i m glad i am romanian. It depends how you look. A skeptical people from different reasons is safer than a rich capitalist state ready to swallow everything americans and Europe have to offer! If the individuals have no voice in their country, pardon me, but...they deserve the misery they may be in.

YT is banned in China. Only those with VPN in China can watch. Lots of workers for Chinese government agencies (50-Cent Army) swarm comments of media content critical of China.

yall thought black mirror was joking huh
These people need to be liberated!. They live in total fear and under surveillance of big brother!.
Chronix Rasta we all need, covid it open all nations to all those new standards of security, wake up!
@@zoiphotographer dear friend don't Worry! If we go one we will go all!.
But when you see interviews of random Chinese people on the street, they seem to be pretty chill about it.
Nah they are not afraid at all, people there are chill AF. they believe if you don’t do crimes then why should you be afraid? ?
@@mewhy826 well you should be more specific ... They are not aware,they asleep ... and well kept away from awareness, ignorant people submissive like idiots, now they are trying to move this model over in the west with the excuse of this strange virus covid19 that seems to be activated by multiple factors 5g in on the list as vaccines ... we are spotting this ... we are aware!
I was in Chongqing a few years ago. A police officer came running up to me. I couldn't understand what was happening but my girlfriend told me he thought I was a Uyghur and was asking for my identification.
It was actually quite scary.
Predicting anxiety and suicide rates will rise... this will not end well
So true
Total fascist state. That's what's in store for all of us.
As well as crime rates
theres too many of em anyways
This is absolutely disgusting.
jesus why is this not talked about enough
Things like this are sensory chipped.only msm r allowed to discuss it if it fits the agenda.usually a fluff piece.if i talked about it id be banned for life n prob have my bank account frozen
Everyday we are becoming more like China.
If only Orwell and Huxley could see the world today.
they did though,as did so many others that foretold so much of what has happened in the last 50+ years and beyond.
I'm happy to see the ABC reporting both sides of the story, how having a high rating can reward individuals by providing certain privileges but having a low credit rating creates a new class of outcasts punished for anti-government behaviour.
To an extent, the system does provide security, however only to those favourable to the government and its subsidiaries. Drawing a parallel between China and the U.S. doesn't really work in this scenario as from what I've seen the U.S. doesn't punish people for anti-government thought or behaviour, a part from in extreme cases (such as protests, rallies, extremism etc).
Reporting on the Chinese Communist Party's surveillance issue is not racism, rather it brings awareness to the dangers of government control over peoples freedoms.
dont get too keen.. one story does not exhonerate them from the contant globalist agenda they try to brain wash us with.
Totalitarianism
This reads like a George Orwell novel that never got published
that was what i am thinking
1984

1984 was right.

dude wtf r u talking about
Yep
@@neoneherefrom5836 Someone's been living under a rock
Government app being pushed for tracking infected citizens and protecting the rest of us healthy citizens. Paying by card is being encouraged because cash "has germs". A cashless society is so close to this credit system. They will give us certain rules to come out of the house and "be free" (but under 100% strict government surveillance). Do what they say and be a good citizen or go back to home detention. Corona will never go away!
@@neoneherefrom5836 wake up mate. C19 is exactly what this about.
This is really a shit system to live in.
@Astro Mars At least you have the power at least somewhat to change it, in China its instant death go go against anything.

This is literally what happened in an episode of Black Mirror
there the rating system was much simpler (since it's a movie). but yeah, they predicted it perfectly
was thinking about that
NPC-30 oh yeah I just seen that. Wtf
Well this is not a prediction, this system was announced as far back as 2013. Still I am suprised they are actually going to pull through.
THIS IS LITERALLY BLACK MIRROR
