This is the shape of the bad “social credit” system as it is unfortunately called, nothing to do with Douglas social credit, and in fact much the opposite.
India’s Aadhaar database contains the digital identifications of more than 1 billion residents, which is the largest biometric digital ID system in the world. It is a social credit system for control of people, although sold to the public as merely a convenient way of gaining access to government services. But while it may do this, in many times unsatisfactorily, it also tracks users’ geolocation, employment and purchasing habits, which can be used in ways detrimental to people. Further glitchs in the system, combined with the glacier slowness of bureaucrats to correct faults, if they can, has led to some unfortunate souls, India’s poorest, being denied food rations, and starving to death. The Covid vax mandates have given momentum for the creation of such systems across the West, and the cancellation of the Canadian trucker with just the power existing at present, shows where this can go. It will be control of thought by control of food, and other measures to sustain existence, via the technocratic vaccine passports.
