Sesame DisCredit

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-has-made-obedience-to-the-state-a-game-a6783841.html

Every chart has 2 sides. There are cases where the good side is somewhat clear, such as sport, computing power or science, but also there are cases where you can't say if something's bad or good and the real losers are in the middle because they don't stand out in any way. Such is a matter of artistic expression and opinion. There's no correct way to think or feel and neither there's a bad way. Mainstream pop is made for money, therefore it falls in the middle to make the most money out of most people. But I didn't buy any music in my entire lifetime, it's all on Youtube and torrents, as it was on Napster before Metallica destroyed it. Even English is sane enough for "mediocre" to be a negative adjective. With games it might be also ambiguous - either you make most frags or points or get banned on every single server. You still play or have played the game, and you can as well play with the game, as is installing mods and cheating, sometimes called debugging. No-one has the right to tell you how to exactly live or think in either real or virtual world. I didn't pay for games either, to buy something on Steam I am supposed to be 18 (at least in Czechia) and that's 2 months away. Besides pirating is convenient - crack means no need for Internet connection or CD in drive while you play singleplayer. As well as adblockers are, they save your bandwidth and make the sites load a little faster and the browser perform significantly better by not loading 10x Flash player or a GIF or whatever is used as Flash was obsoleted by HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. And you too are performing better if you have concentration problems.

Now China instills Free-to-Play machanics onto his citizens through Sesame Credit, operated by companies having share in Blizzard and Epic. If you do what goverment wants, you get benefits like fast internet, job opportunities and even gifts like college tuition (or study permit as these are free in most countries). This works on your internet life on social networks, crawling all the way through your online identity, like Facebook, Microsoft, Google and Amazon shared all the user data with themselves and the government. There's a score, just a simple number that decides how you are treated. Having friends with low score lowers your score and having friends with high score probably increases. This is very similar to your bank account balance, only the government decides directly on that to determine what to give to you or deprive you of.

But ... what if you don't want to be online, work or have all these "benefits" since you simply don't agree with the China's doctrine? There's an opposite end of the chart - who does the least "right" things, who is so hardcore to handle slow internet and unemployment. This further widens the gap between anarchist avant-garde and Commie ass-kissers (not even patriots, if so, then *NA*tional So*ZI*alisten). Like it were 70s, old people in Czechoslovakia remember these things clearly, yet the high and low end was divided more clearly by Party membership. The socially excluded from the high end would find their friends in the low end. Here would fall many Buddhists aswell, since what neverlasting wordly benefits would they want. And I see part of this becoming the Light Side of the Force or Hippies or whatever peace-and-love thing you know of.

Subsequently, by 2030 there would be a paraller culture with its own internet and jobs refusing anyone with too high score. Exactly what happened to Czechoslovakia, only 100* copied tapes are 100* recompressed, sent, shared or also copied OGGs. Yes, they'll use non-spying open source software, like Linux, LibreOffice, Midori, XMMS, and what's most important - Blu-Rays so Chinese HDDVD players won't read them at all and not a single ass-kisser would to lower their score by buying a Blu-Ray player and Blu-Rays, including a PlayStation 4. Normal HDDVD would work too, but no-one produces the players now since the companies behind it lost the format war.

Bygone are the days of executions for inloaylity immediately after the Commie takeover. That means you will have just your life and almost nothing else when you don't do what the doctrine deems good. Quite Liberlandish it seems - let live, don't give. The people are all on their own, in the end the good will work together and the bad will be excommunicated to the high, oppresing, disobeyed end. What about the middle? Those will have to decide from which side they will receive the benefits. Be it better internet or a real community of caring people? Even ISIS member tells you in one reportage they are closer to the God by having harsh conditions. Similarly, those who collaborate with the totalitarian regime are companions of Fire and should abide therein eternally. Or belong to the Dark Side if you are that Star Wars nerd who just completed the 18-hour marathon. You in America and Western Europe have Netflix, we have The Pirate Bay and Ulož.to because Czechia is such an asshole of the world that our Internet speeds wouldn't handle 1080p streaming in Blu-Ray quality via ADSL, were Netflix introduced here. Even YOU.BO still hasn't been a subject of copyright strike from all the Youtubers it stole videos from. UPC isn't gonna save us with reportedly 120 Mbps, the aggregation is shit for large prefab appartment complexes, you must watch early in morning, yet there are some asshole bosses who think jobs should start at 7 AM and people very desperate for money they'd work even on weekends and holidays from 6 AM. This still dates 30 years back to commies and then say capitalists extorionate the proletariate when the same thing was in fact done by the Communist Party.

The worthiness to be in that low end community will be simply calculated by a formula of RSC = (1/s)*100, where s is the Sesame Credit score. That means the lesser the allegiance for Chinese government, the bigger elegibility for being a recognized member of the Alternative Culture. Assuming the score wouldn't drop below zero and the starting point would be something like 50. I'm not sure if there will be fractional values, but if not then having 1 or zero will mean you can be a leader or respected.

Example table for non-negative SC:
SesCred| 100 | 10 |  5 |  2 |  1  | .75 |  .5 | .25 | .125 |  0 |
-------+-----+----+----+----+-----+-----+-----+-----+------+----+
RSC(%) | 1   | 10 | 20 | 50 | 100 | 125 | 200 | 400 |  800 | oo |

But if it could be negavive, then let i be the initial value you get when you sign up to somewhere. FSC = -(s-i), F is for flipped. Your initial value is zero in FSC and it's up to you if you'll get Communist or Communist. There the government's Communism is not the same as cultural communism, think about music in Jamaica. They use wax vinyls enduring only few plays because it's expected that someone will remix them in 3 months as they become outdated after few parties.

Example table for signed SC, i = 500:
SC |1000| 750|500|250| 10| 1 | 0 | -1|-10|-250|-500|-750|1000|
---+----+----+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+----+----+----+----+
FSC|-500|-250| 0 |250|490|499|500|501|510| 750|1000|1250|1500|

Of course there would be spies from both fractions, as well as missionaries. Sesame Credit farming is faily simple, as well as losing it. That would allow the ass-kissers to infiltrate between the rebels, hippies, punks or whatever and submit large lists of them for persecution. But when one has got nothing, can someone take more from him? No, therefore the only thing China can do is excommunicate them, therefore they can legally move to Taiwan, which is also a Chinese Republic, but not "People's", even tough China thinks it is. Only complication there is the Traditional Chinese, which means many characters will be unreadable in small print. And that would drastically decrease the population count in China, way more than the 1 child and "free" abortion politics. More ghost cities, more empty highways only tearing land apart like in North Korea and still the same level of smog.

I was always against reporting people for banal things like children in kindergarten do. Like they were too weak to assert themselves so they hid behind authorities. Getting more points for reporting post which complains about omnipresent smog is immoral, asocial and damnworthy. And that's why the people on the lower half of the leaderboard will eschew those, which are willing to sign their souls to someone even worse than Satan. Even Nazis were like that and Commies at us kept telling how evil were these and they were the "liberators", when in fact, Communism is as totalitarian as Facism, even look. Those who tell are companinions of Fire and will abide therein eternally.

When something like this happened in the Soviet Bloc, the Communist party had only 20 years of life left. If the Invisible Hand of the Market is with us, China will be democratic by 2050, but it wouldn't mean anything like it did in Czechia and Slovakia. The lower ass-kissers would just make a putsch after another massacre like Tiamannen 1989 and China be like Obama's USA - you are "free" but not really and at least you can have some guns. The old tyrrants become oligarchs, which manipulate people thru ads and kill democracy again. And then, why are there these stupid people who vote for whoever gives them a donut and tells populistic lies? Yes, I mean Andrej Babiš AKA Babisconi, the current (2014~2018) Czech minister of finance. If people in Czechia don't do anything and dully elect him as a president (direct presidental elections are really dangerous) when he enlists as a candidate, he'll make Czechia a dictatorship and "the Czech Republic" will be no longer an acceptable name, as with People's Republic of China or Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Alternative culture's banned bard Karel Kryl (illegal to sing his songs in presence of Party members who would report you to get benefits, this was a great advertisement in effect) has managed to make a song named Demokracie about this in his late life. I estimate 1993 because 1st McDonald's in Czechoslovakia opened in March 1992, being mentioned as "strejda" (uncle) and Karel Kryl died in March 1994.

I don't play online games. I'm immune to these just because I don't want to spend all my money on World of Warcraft when I could spend it on my GF, had I one, or on better PC, instruments, vehicles, food and last but not least, some (preferably mechanized) agriculture. One of my long term dreams is to have a personal aircraft - be it a glider, wingsuit, jetpack, helicopter or jet. The main purpose of this is to escape the traffic jams and other ground level travel restraints. Expensive cars are lame, bitches need more than this nowadays. Someone in the bar has a Bugatti Veyron and McLaren P1 and would you told you have multiple jetpacks, helicopter or a jet, all his girls would be up to you. Even then, adrenaline and dopamine strenghten the loves because the brain confuses the sources - your girls and the situation. So that golddiggers will really love you and not your adrenaline sports nor your aircrafts. Getting a pilot licence is way more difficult and whichever girl does't appreciate that is plain stupid. Only things needed are more heliports and accessible flat roofs.

Also on that agriculture, I'd like to be external supplier independent, that is produce most of the vegetables and fruit by myself and let others to fry me the chickens or milk the cows. In Buddhism there's nothing about buying meat nor weapons, only forbidden is to sell it. Fuck vegans, I want my pizza with cheese and fuck vegetarians too, my cat wants there also some ham. And I eat with my cat because she comes to eat with me. Or chicken kebab, I like Dürüms more than McWraps, there's more for the same price of around 90 Kč ($4). Some people call this a gyros (generic name), but there's no tzatziki nor tomatoes nor fries nor pork for Dürüm kebab to qualify as a real Greek Gyros. This is a case when I'd rather support those immigrants than some fat capitalist. Vietnamese do nohing ethically wrong with that weed and grocery stores, Turks do delicious kebabs, and Ukrainians do cheap bricklaying without too much price discussions.

That has departed pretty much from agriculture, I intended to move on economically self-sufficient houses driven only by renewable resources, but I wrote about immigrants again. Those houses are things people should buy and not rent some appartments and hope they have enough money each month. In middle ages almost everyone was alive from their own fields and animals. Urbanization was wrong, even workers realized that when they got fired because of new machines. There's some sanity in London, where even the terraced houses have some gardens for certain fruits. There should be those trees in the public for people to have something to eat in other places than shops. Also fossil-fuel-only vehicles should be banned since the Paris climate conference, even an adaptive E85 program for car's control unit conforms with this. If you buy oil products, you risk supporting Islamistan (my name for ISIS). Alcohol is omnipresent especially in Eastern Europe, so it shouldn't be problem to produce E85. Potatoes are less demanding than rapeseed, in Czechia we have Tuzemský rum from it that EU told us to call Tuzemák (Domestic thing) because potato Rum is allegedly not real Rum. To me, it tastes almost the same with those 37.5% vol. That's not everything that had to rename, Špekáčky were in danger and Pomazánkové máslo had to drop máslo and add tradiční, now it's Tradiční pomazánkové. The only reason V4 (those who are "heartless" towards immigrants) is still in EU are the dotations for new highways, which were left behind when 3rd Reich falled and when Soviet Bloc has fallen apart, therefore there are frequent traffic jams (due to light signals I think) and holes in roads, which are cheap self-maintaining substitutions of speed bumpers. And the ecoterrorists don't make catching up with the developed West easier, as well as people refusing to sell their land to the government in compensation for another land of the same area. Anyway, bicycles are regaining their popularity they had in WW2 when Nazis were taking all the gas for their tanks so maybe there'll be some cyclohighways, since hard-core cyclists often ride as fast as cars and conventional speed limits don't apply for them since there's no engine other than feet. Possibly there's a Civil War paraller in V4 vs. EU, as in who can deport immigrants and who can command others to take them.
