China Just Launched the Most Frightening Game Ever — and Soon It Will Be Mandatory
Antimedia ^ | December 21, 2015 | Claire Bernish

(ANTIMEDIA) Oceania, China — As if further proof were needed Orwell’s dystopia is now upon us, China has now gamified obedience to the State. Though that is every bit as creepily terrifying as it sounds, citizens may still choose whether or not they wish to opt-in — that is, until the program becomes compulsory in 2020. “Going under the innocuous name of ‘Sesame Credit,’ China has created a score for how good a citizen you are,” explains Extra Credits’ video about the program. “The owners of China’s largest social networks have partnered with the government to create something akin to the U.S. credit score — but, instead of measuring how regularly you pay your bills, it measures how obediently you follow the party line.”

China has lots and lots of very smart young people.

They will not tolerate the repression the old men are trying to implement

I am thinking “Demolition Man”, but instead of getting demerits for cursing, you get demerits for not praising Dear Leader enough...

They not only did so last time but cheerfully lead the charge.

I see no reason to believe they will do otherwise now.

Egad. Do we get to start with a clean sheet or does it incorporate the entries in your Permanent Record? I mean, not that there's anything on mine I'm ashamed of or anything. The whole thing was dropped for lack of evidence anyway.

I'm guessing FR membership will probably flag us all for the re-education camps. See you all there during the second Hillary administration!

This parallels the Roman Empire’s practice of public mandatory worship of the cult of the emperor. Instead of burning incense, the people post praises.

Interesting, and sociopathic—also horrendous.

uses your social media postings, purchases and known associates to assign you a public score rating your citizenship and reliability.

Seems like the Russkis and chicoms loosened the reins on their people these last 30 or so years, saw where they were moving [away from centralized control of the population] and now are moving back to rein them back in under their control. And those in charge here are also trying harder to control us more as well. F the lot to hell.

Facebook already has the capability to do this. Besides commercial advertising the data gets sold to and used by political campaigns for targeting and outreach purposes.

I guarantee that ALL of us already have a “score” in that Catalist system the Dems have.

“The system is voluntary now, but the politburo says it will be mandatory by 2020. Already the participants in the “game” are behaving in precisely the way that the politburo wants them to: by policing the people on their friends lists, evincing politically palatable beliefs, and making purchases of the sort they are directed to make.”
