Do you think for a state to exist with a modicum of social order, digitization is inevitable? Can social credit systems be used to foster a environment that creates the grounds for more families? I know China is ramping up its efforts of raising its birth rates by reigning in on single women in cities. Of course there's mass digitization in America and Canada, but its not wielded for the purpose of creating a family friendly environment, quite the opposite.

So the USA is so keen on preventing any single power from dominating Eurasia that its aggression will force its enemies into a single alliance that dominates Eurasia. I guess if that happens, then it was inevitable either way.

What interests me is the anti-nuclear stance of the West, which I now clearly see probably originates in the United States. Obviously, if America starts building nuke plants, the rest of the West will want to build them, too. But if all of the American allies reach energy self-sufficiency via nuclear power, they're no longer dependent on American energy exports. So the USA cannot build nuke plants at home for fear of seeing them crop up in places that it wants to be dependent.

I think our boy Justin Hedges has no idea of the fire he is playing with.

Positive ID isn’t a problem, unless you’re a spy or criminal. Scores of your characteristics are arcane, but not a problem. We all use our own scoring systems to choose friends, business associates, foods, entertainment, and every other thing we do. The problems arise when tyrants in government or powerful corporations use those scores to attack us. As Reagan taught, government is the problem, not the solution. We can avoid or resist getting the formal identifications and scores, but they happen below the covers whether we participate or not. The solution is demanding government that treats everyone fairly, not constructing new mechanisms to abuse us. It won’t end with IDs. Constant vigilance is the price of liberty.

thanks for answering my question! I think that the purpose of the social credit system is more or less the same, but certainly we do not have the type of punishments for a low credit score in the West (yet). Though of course the inability to acquire a car and a home can lead to a de facto travel ban, school ban, reduced employment prospects, increased scrutiny and, yes, even public shaming. I suppose the real question is to what degree the Chinese state enforces its system, whether it's easy to get around, etc. For some aspects of the biodigital surveillance regime in Canada, for example the vaccine passports, these were easy to get around without any repercussions if you were a bit motivated/

I went to a fairly conservative Catholic college in the USA. The message board for alums that I used to frequent has gone full Blue Anon. Any deviation is met with an avalanche of browbeaters. Once I fairly innocently and jokingly posted a NY Times article that indicated the fears of violence in South Africa related to Zuma's arrest were unfounded. This was funny because a few hours after the article was posted mass riots broke out.

By the reaction of the other posters you'd have thought I linked a video of myself butchering a kitten.

This made me wonder, Darren Beattie style, whether selective schools' message boards are fertile place for paid regime influencers to be operating.

My take: your grand children are doomed

Back in April, at the suggestion of some random guy I met at a happy hour, I tried signing up for seeking.com (the most popular sugar daddy site). My goal was essentially information gathering.

EDIT: To be clear, I was not signing up to this site to find dates. I signed up for this site to message random women on the site and ask them about their experiences on the site, out of morbid curiousity. During my time on the site, I went on dates with two women. Both of whom I was upfront about not being a sugar daddy, and neither of whom I gave any money. Both of them didn't go anywhere

On the site, I messaged a bunch of women and just asked them about their experiences. What I found was so shocking that it prompted me to start attending a church.

In short:

* A shockingly large percentage of zoomer women (possibly as high as 5% in my city) have tried this at least once. To put concrete numbers on it, there's about ~1200 profiles, active in the last year, under the age of 30, in my city. My city has about ~30,000 women in that age bracket.

* The women are sociopathic about it and are motivated by making assloads of money. "Pay my rent for me" is widely considered to be the _minimum_ that you pay a girl.

* There is no expectation of exclusivity and a large majority of the women are open about "non-monogamy" or "no strings attached". This means that she is likely getting her rent paid by several different men at the same time. We're talking like at least 5 grand a month for any women taking the site seriously

* A lot of them seem to think they can get that money for purely platonic relationships. I can't tell if they're serious, or if this is just part of the doublethink that they do so they don't have to think of themselves as prostitutes. However, I point blank asked two women about this and they both aggressively insisted that there's lots of men on the site who are totally fine with paying for a purely platonic relationship

* A lot of them don't care about prostituting themselves, and see it as no-big-deal easy money. Most of them seem legitimately unaware that this behaviour will sabotage their long term serious relationship prospects, and the ones with more self-awareness about it just plan to lie to any future partners.

* Maybe 30-50% of the local escorts listed on tryst, slixa, etc., are also on seeking and using it to drum up prostitution business.

* There is no stigma whatsoever to doing this, to the point that women will actively encourage their friends to try it. They seem to treat it about the same way that girls treated getting a nose piercing, when I was in highschool, like it's a milestone that literally everyone tries at some point in their lives.

* The women all absolutely hate their sugar daddies. They don't respect them, and they mock them behind their backs for "being so pathetic they have to pay for sex". They see nothing morally wrong with blatantly lying to these men. They see nothing morally wrong with pretending they're exclusive. They see nothing wrong with overtly abusing or taking advantage of the men they're seeing. They see nothing wrong with trying to withhold sex and renege on their deals after they get the money. Their attitude is almost like "well if this dude is stupid enough to believe my lies, he deserves lies"

* A bunch of women on these sites appear to be doing it not for the money, and not for the relationships, but purely as social clout for bragging, eg "I'm so hot, there's 50 guys who will pay a thousand bucks just to spend the night with me, right now".

* Ironically, a large majority of the women on these sites seem to put zero effort into it. They'll post one or two shitty pictures they took in their bathrooms, write a one-sentence profile of boilerplate, and act like this entitles them to a six figure income. Basically the same thing you see on Tinder, except Tinder doesn't come with an expectation that you'll give her several hundred dollars cash in an envelope when you show up for the date

* The women on this site for the most part seem to have absolutely no idea what their own SMVs are. There's just about zero correlation between physical attractiveness and the amount of money they expect. You've got pudgy mid 5/10s acting like insufferable hot girls, and mind-blowingly beautiful 10/10s who, at least from their profiles, seem like nice, sweet women.

* A very large number of the women on that site are also active on other dating sites, and they don't draw a meaningful distinction between 'sugar dating' and 'regular dating'. In practice, this means that a lot of these women are approaching tinder/etc with the same attitude. The next time you get ghosted on Tinder, remember that she probably ghosted you for a guy who will pay $500 ppm (pay-per-meet)

The overwhelming impression I got from this experiment is that the current generation of 20-something women have, across the board, fully internalized both a) that their only value to society is as a sex object/prostitute; and b) that this is the only value they'll ever need. These people have been turned into toxic sociopaths incapable of having health, loving, mutually supportive relationships. They have dramatically inflated ideas of their own sexual market value, and absurdly unrealistic standards.

I don't know what massive social failure has caused this state of affairs, but it is an extremely big problem

We 🇺🇸 are going to war with Russia 🇷🇺 and the leaks are sane people trying to stop it, they will probably fail.

The UK SAS are White Gurkhas serving the Turbo American Raj. The cult of special forces has very deep appeal across the Anglo-Saxon world because the Anglosphere lacks the capacity for large-scale heavy infantry warfare. Daring-do appeals to the Hollywood sensibility of the Western politicians, public and military leadership but I am certain that the Russians would have thought long and hard how to counter the next NATO/Ukrainian offensive.

The argument that NATO wants to strengthen the Ukrainians for the sake of negotiations is ridiculous. NATO has been 100% consistent in its unwillingness to facilitate/support negotiations of any sort. Bojo talked Zelenskiy out of implementing the peace deal with Russia negotiated in Istanbul.

The political economy of the Stanford Sugar Babies embodies the biopolitics of Leviathan/Cthulhu.

Social media enables the elite Sugar Babies to commercialise their sexuality and exploit men who cannot expect to form families of their own. The Sugar Babies will get pregnant with medical intervention at an advanced age or will adopt a child from the developing world. The psychic coarsening involved in e-whoring will fortify their feminist conviction that men are pigs. The men will help to form the sub-proletariat that will be replaced in time by further waves of replacement immigration. In Clown World even vice is fake, ghey and Woke.

There is a very good video talking about the so-called Chinese social credit system by Brian Berletic at the New Atlas channel on YT, which he says is not a single unified system but is rather piecemeal and applied often for what we call criminal behaviour, such as travelling on trains without a ticket etc.

China's "Social Credit Score System" - Fact or Fiction?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYnZREu-Mk

Thinking about it, I reckon that the collective elite in the West is projecting onto China their own tendency of what they would like to do to us, and that such a system may well come into effect here in the medium term.

Don’t know if you have ever watched the sci-fi movie Minority Report, that is the future of the Biodigital Surveillance state, this was predicted decades ago.
