I am not a liberal. And yet I am 100% in favor of disenfranchising people who are shitty citizens (or non-citizens.)

I think you may not understand what liberals (in 21st century America) want. As a broad generalization, they are not merely opposed to disenfranchising people who are poor citizens (or non-citizens), quite to the contrary, they wish to expand the rights & privileges of people who are a net drain on society.

They have already established it and are deplatforming lowering the credit rating of people they don't agree with...

I would have a very low credit score, since I'm white -- let alone being non-apologetic, make tons of money, drive a MB, and love america.

If you actually look into the criteria being judged, it's mostly the same stuff that we in the US accept as normal with regard to credit scores. Presupposing that you haven't defaulted on a lot of debts or obligations, it's unlikely that your lack of apologetic-ness would even come into play; you'd not be in a situation in which you had anything to apologize for in the first place.

Personally, I'd love to see this system come to the US. The credit rating system which we have presently doesn't matter to the people who suck at it the most, since they're not applying for mortgages anyway. China's system punishes social miscreants in ways that actually matter to them.

The system would be rigged against conservatives and free-thinkers... it already is.

The issue at hand - as it always has been... is "who" decides the algorithm? And is it transparent and held accountable? It NEEDS to be unbiased in its execution... and that can only be the case if the ones creating the metric are equally "unbiased."

Wait a sec... Are you seriously saying that Liberals / Socialists are better at paying their bills on time, and not defaulting on loans, and not expecting their actions not to have consequences, than Conservatives?

If that is genuinely what you believe, I'm going to need to ask for your resignation as Administrator of this forum.




Define "unbiased."

You're still operating under the premise that liberals wouldn't game the system for social justice...

I am not a liberal (or conservative for that matter) but I absolutely game the credit system to my personal benefit.
Pretty normal for selfish human beings of all political viewpoints.
It is one of those little things that make me feel better about my self worth.

You're operating under the premise that conservatives, if in control, wouldn't game the system either.

Or Libertarians' or the Green Party, or well, any political group that is dominantly in charge of X aspect of Y.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is why I'm in favor of very, very small government with very little involvement in the day-to-day lives of the citizenry. It reduces certain pitfalls by its nature.

This is also the reason an interconnected web of entities possessing your personal details, thoughts, pictures, relationship information is a really stupid idea.

Who, me?

I assume that everyone who possibly can will game any system for whatever benefit they can derive. Especially if by "game" you mean "adjust ones behavior to operate within the literal rules of a system in order to achieve a maximally profitable outcome." Like how us fat-cat 5%ers constantly take advantage of "loopholes" in the tax code, like deducting mortgage interest and contributing to tax-deferred retirement funds.


I mean, just look at how both ultra-left and ultra-right groups in the US have gamed Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax in order to advance the SJW agenda. I obviously can't think of or name any ways in which this has happened, but we all know that it's a fact.

^When Chattanooga, TN developed their own municipal broad band, because Comcast is terrible, it was cheaper and 200x faster than the private sector solution.

Once this was completed, Comcast suddenly "found" a bunch of bandwidth and cheaper prices.
