Beijing To Judge Every Resident Based on Behavior by End of 2020 (bloomberg.com)
China's plan to judge each of its 1.3 billion people based on their social behavior is moving a step closer to reality, with Beijing set to adopt a lifelong points program by 2021 that assigns personalized ratings for each resident. From a report: The capital city will pool data from several departments to reward and punish some 22 million citizens based on their actions and reputations by the end of 2020, according to a plan posted on the Beijing municipal government's website this week. Those with better so-called social credit will get "green channel" benefits while those who violate laws will find life more difficult. The Beijing project will improve blacklist systems so that those deemed untrustworthy will be "unable to move even a single step," according to the government's plan. Xinhua reported on the proposal Tuesday, while the report posted on the municipal government's website is dated July 18.
Thanks for pushing normal people to the right. Communism/socialism/collectivism will be the downfall of the working class. The elite will convince them that is the path to salvation and the brainwashed blue-pilled masses conditioned from the beginning of elementary school to the day they graduate college will lap shit like this up, all the way up to the point that they are virtue-signalling that seppuku is honorable for the state and that self immolation is an act of resistance against privilege.
People of the west -- wake the fuck up! You are being taken as fools by the ruling elite. The colleges have brainwashed you that collectivism will solve your woes. Do not discard the freedom and liberty espoused by the forefathers of the United States. Look at the history of every communist and socialist country. Ask yourself if you want to be just another bug to be squashed, another cog in the machine, serving the politburo elite?
Occupy Wall Street was compromised and overtaken by SJWs because the ruling class saw for the first time in many years a true threat to the ruling elite. The same people on the left who voted Bernie actually have very similar ideals to those on the right who aligned with Trump. Sick of the cronyism, the plutocracy, the neocons, the neolibs, etc. People just want to be left the fuck alone. Don't tread on me and all that.
The Marxist embedded in the government and elites in power will continue to push the populace to fight each other such that they look parallel, and not upward. Whatever plight you are in, you have a choice; blame yourself, blame your peers, or blame your masters? You should ask yourself who you cannot criticize, and why?
But what the fuck do I know, ORANGE MAN BAD, AMIRITE REDDIT?
Iran just had exposed two terrorist attacks in Europe - an assassination and a bomb plot. Supporting Saudi Arabia means opposing Iran and vica versa, which is why Trump does it. Unsurprisingly, the EU is supporting Iran regardless and not raising their voice about the terrorist attacks.
The AC didn't say Kashoggi was a US Citizen, he stated correctly that Kashoggi was a US Resident. You don't have to stay in the US 100% of the time to be a legal US Resident. After all, he was both a reporter, and someone with lots of contacts both business and personal in the middle east.
This is basically someone that has their permanent residence in this country legally, but hasn't become a citizen yet. It takes time and effort to become a US citizen.
His being one of our residents, makes his torture and murder an issue we can't just ignore.
He was a journalist, and since we have and espouse freedom of the press, it's an issue we can't just ignore.
That he was tortured and murdered by a country we do significant business with, we can't just ignore this issue.
The fact that a human was tortured and murdered in a most foul method is an issue we just can't ignore.
Of course if someone has no compassion, doesn't care at all for justice, and couldn't care less about our ideals or the Constitution, then feel free to knock yourself out and do absolutely nothing about such a despicable and inhuman act and let them think they can keep doing it to whomever they want.
