Just when you thought China couldn’t get more brutal and oppressive.
Tens of thousands Chinese people are becoming homeless because they are blacklisted by the ChiCom social credit system.
Beijing’s “social credit system” ranks citizens according to behavior:
……the plan is for it to eventually be mandatory and unified across the nation, with each person given their own unique code used to measure their social credit score in real-time
……examples of infractions include bad driving, smoking in non-smoking zones, buying too many video games, and posting fake news online, specifically about terrorist attacks or airport security.
Other potential punishable offenses include spending too long playing video games, wasting money on frivolous purchases, and posting on social media.
China has already started punishing people by restricting their travel, including banning them from flights.
Authorities banned people from purchasing flights 17.5 million times by the end of 2018……
They can also clamp down on luxury options — many are barred from getting business-class train tickets, and some are kept out of the best hotels.
……China’s social credit system incorporates a moral edge into the program, which is why many have compared it to some level of dystopian governance, such as in George Orwell’s “1984” in which the state heavily controls every aspect of a citizen’s life.

The DemLeft envisions shit just like this. They love the thought of a dystopian society where they control the lives of everyone they hate. They force feed woke and cancel culture through manipulation of social media and censorship of facts.
They’re one of the biggest threats to liberty with their ideas of what’s good for the masses.
They’re the fascists they warned us about.
