(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.â€

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.

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.
