How long until NOT being a fan of FFC-Acrush counts towards your SesameCredit score? China has gone beyond 'manufacturing consent.' They are manufacturing culture whole cloth, and openly saying 'If you don't abide by our exact ways of thinking, get the fuck out.'

Yeah. Most contemporary/modern cultural aspects in china are fabricated to impress the chinese people and the rest of the world. It's so plastic. Sounds so fake. But as soon as they go into something more subversive, they're in trouble. :/ And that sesame credit is just bad. By the way, there's a really good Black Mirror episode about that.
