DailyKenn.com —Masking up to avoid viral infection is nothing new. It was widely practiced during the Spanish Flu epidemic in the early 20th century. 100 years later masks were worn again in an effort to control the spread of the COVID viruses.
The World Economic Forum apparently took notice of the psychology behind massive social compliance. The conclusion? Those who complied with mask mandates will likely comply with social credit schemes [source].
The social credit system was first introduced in communist China in the 1980s.
Citizens who patiently wait for the light to turn green before crossing score higher than those who don't wait. Likewise, those who pay taxes in a timely manner score higher than those who are tardy.
High-scoring citizens breeze through passport applications and head to the front of the line for college admissions. Low scorers could face travel restrictions and limited educational opportunities; not to mention being locked out of preferred employment.
In other words, the social credit system creates a black list comprised of citizens deemed to be non-compliant to the whims of government officials.
A social credit system could be used to enforce equity policies in which members of imagined "marginalized" social groups will be awarded bonus points to level the playing field. Meanwhile, the bourgeois class (aka, White people) can expect their scores to be shaved to atone for the sins of their colonial ancestors.
The Social Credit System is an extension to the existing financial credit rating system in China [source].
