Everyone hates on China for their social credits system, but without darwinism (which literally means death or the inability to procreate), it's the only way complete morons and the totally incorigible could see justice without imprisonment in a modern society.
... Yes I know China has some absolutely braindead and totalitarian rules around those credits, but it doesn't mean the system itself is a terrible idea.
Note: The US DOES have a similar system that can unjustly fuck over people. It's called a Credit Score.
The credit score only fucks poor people. The rich only benefit from paying less which they don't even need.
If the general public understood how much money the rich pull out of society, this would be a different world.
