Hello everyone,
I was just watching a video about a man who was talking about the “Build Back Better” plan. While I was watching the video, he brought up something that I didn’t think about since the Hong Kong Freedom movement that happened a couple weeks before covid hit that fish market; that being the social credit score China has to control its population in their day to day lives.
Why Hong Kong is involved in this is because they tore down government street cameras, and full out rejected the system has a whole for they know that Totalitarianism is suicide for their culture, for their liberty, and for every single individual man, woman, and child in that country.
The worst part is that our leaders on both side of the political aisle have thought about being the same system here, to land that is known as ‘the home of the brave. Land of the free’.
Let me say this to everyone who will hear me: when you are judge and branded by numbers that you can’t change, instead of your character that you can change: discrimination of the individual self is enable and slavery to the state will be the next step.
If a social credit system comes to the United States, or if it is already here just in a smaller form, I ask that every single person to reject it and take every moment that you can to use civil disobedience to your advantage, because no one’s life should be determined for them by the state. It should be the individual who be determine the life of state, because the individual is the only thing that can control the state. However, the individual is not always enough to take on the state alone, it takes every single individual here to do their part.
If one person is forced to walk: then we all walk. If they take away one persons ability to trade: then we make the biggest black market the world has ever seen. If they take away our wage: then the government shall not get paid.
The reason why i’m saying all of this is because unjust laws and institutions; can only be fought with be fought back with a justify and unhappy population. For that is how Gandhi, MLK, and Mandela did it, and so that is how we the people will continue to do it; because the state should not be given the right to randomly discriminate.
Thank you, and good night
