No, you can't criticize the Chinese social credit score, because it doesn't exist.

And it's not "whataboutism" to tell westerners to stop trying to "fix" other countries while living in a world ruled by pedophile billionaires and pretending they have "freedom".

Your "solution" to everything is to invade, kill a bunch of innocent people, and install a worse, unelected government. So stop trying to analyze problems with other countries, real or fake. (In this case very fake)

No, you are a part of something much bigger than yourself. Again, I'm addressing you as a western liberal. If any part of that is wrong, feel free to correct me. But if you are using the term "whataboutism" and crying about policies in China that you have admitted you have no idea about, then you are pushing western liberal ideals, and are a part of the same problem. Also, I did not mention America at all. If you think what I'm talking about is limited to America, I don't know. You need to read more.

I mean, if anything I'm going to become a political descendant in the west if things keep up so I'm by no means trying to be a propaganda machine for the west, if I came off that way I apologize. However, I assumed you meant America specifically though because you mentioned "pedophile billionaires" which would imply that I'm a MAGA Chud that backs up or at least turns a blind eye to pedophilia as they are right now. I imagine most people in the EU, Canada, etc aren't doing that, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, at least we both agree that America bad
