Whattaboutism doesn’t argue against the fact that the Chinese plan includes social measures, like your expressed political thought. They are both alarming- this one more so.
- vkou 9y agoWhy is having your social score be based on money less alarming than having it be based on your political activity?
- mattnewton 9y agoThere are many reasons, but for one, it’s because free speech is how people who are harmed by something can peacefully argue to change the system, and without it, the power structure ossifies and becomes inflexible to the needs of political minorities.
