They’re both awful but unfortunately I’m forced to agree as the US continues to roll out domestic policies we used to look at aghast when China implemented them.
I’m talking about weaponizing it at scale and putting cameras everywhere and using AI to go with it. Sure, we can bring up America, past and present, but China is wayyyyy ahead on the dystopia on this score:
Automated systems to fine people for illegal parking and other driving infractions have been in the US and much of the west for decades. Also automated systems for scammers to send you fake tickets demanding you pay money because some police database must have been hacked.
Im American and even I favor China over US
They’re both awful but unfortunately I’m forced to agree as the US continues to roll out domestic policies we used to look at aghast when China implemented them.
Which policies are you talking about?
Genocide.
Mass surveillance, imprisoning/murdering people for thoughtcrimes.
America had effective mass surveillance before China, as far back as the 60, and the US government was spying on all backbone data before China even had the Great Firewall, we’ve been imprisoning/murdering people for thoughtcrimes for a century, look into the history of literally any leftist movement in the US.
