Elon is always obsessed with WeChat's model. (For those who don't know about WeChat, it is basically the name of the 'Everything app'.)

Everything in one single point is pretty convenient but has led to a bunch of risks...

Leave a risk that you know in the comment.

Wechat is so creepy. I mean you could just get caught in some misunderstanding of being labeled as a dissident and get cut off from basically all communications.

And even if you are just an innocent civilian, all it takes is one bad hack and now criminals have the data of 1 Billion people.

Well perhaps it is creepy but in China it is massively convenient. Nobody uses cash or credit cards except foreigners. Everyone connects socially through it. Yes the authoritarian government is collecting data, how that is creepier than our distributed techno-authoritarian data collection is an ideological mystification.

Because one of those will put you in jail and have you executed and the other one just tries to sell you stuff

The incarceration rate is 4-5x as high in the US as in china

I'm sure. Easy to keep the incarceration rate low when you just go straight to executing criminals and committing genocide against entire ethnicities. Fuck the US, but especially FUCK NAZI GERMANY CHINA.

Please count the reasons for these incarcerations.

According to Bureau of Prisons the majority of those incarcerated are there due to drug offenses:

Yeah. Not because of dissent, unlike how the comments of the user I replied to tried to imply

Famously the Untied States has never had a single political prisoner.

Well there is a chance that is going to change.

Imagine how empty the slave chambers would be with proper drug acheduling in the U.S.
