I don't disagree with anything you've said, but what happens when you apply that reasoning to a whole country? "Well, if you stopped being a shitty citizen, you could get the good train tickets." In the average case, Chinese citizens with low social scores actually are antisocial assholes, not dissidents trying to overthrow a corrupt government. So is Chinese social scoring not actually a bad idea?
It's like... If anyone's been to Disney World, they're familiar with what an all-encompassing experience that is. Now imagine Disney World ran 75% of Florida. And could bar you from the premises for violating its rules...
For sure, this is also one of those roads you can't go down in good hands because of how much it could be abused in the wrong hands (so, by any future administration for eternity).
For example, imagine if you couldn't buy plane tickets because you didn't sit through enough critical race theory white-guilty training.
Don't threaten me with a good time. ;) I've attended plenty of that training; if there were Frequent Flyer miles attached, I'd be vacationing in Hawaii right now.
