Of all the issues facing free peoples everywhere today, regardless of flag, THIS is the paramount single issue.
Is it a stretch to imagine a peasant with a bad social credit score, or the wrong party having their account frozen? When your account is frozen...could you pay your income taxes? If your taxes are not paid, could your home/business be seized? Without access to your electronic money, how could you even get daily essentials, food, shelter, fuel, utilities? Could you survive on a barter system? We can't imagine it getting that draconian can we? But history tells us that Stalin's Great Purge, executed a million of their own, not counting the gulag deaths in captivity. Unlikely perhaps, but certainly possible. In the last 20 yrs I have begun to believe that anything is possible from the ruling class.
Agree.
