"I Am Worried We Are Becoming A Thought-Controlled Dystopia, Like China!" by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

John: I am worried about China.

Jane: Oh yeah? What about it?

John: Well more I am worried about the example they are setting, and that western governments will start implementing their technocratic oppression style to turn us all into a bunch of brainwashed, homogeneous obedience machines.

Jane: What makes you think Chinese people are all brainwashed and homogeneous?

John: Oh my God, do you not watch the news? Have you not heard of their social credit score system? The state censorship and propaganda those people are subjected to? The CCP literally does not let them have access to western social media platforms because our free thought and democratic values might interfere with their conformity policing. How have you not heard about this? It is in the news constantly.

Jane: Constantly?

John: Oh yeah, it is like a major news story all the time. All across the political spectrum, too. Fox News, CNN, The Washington Post. Alternative media too like Infowars and The Epoch Times; even lefty YouTubers like Vaush talk all the time about how bad it is in China.

Jane: So because you are being given the same message by all the western media you consume, you are worried about the enforcement of thought conformity in.. China?

John: Yeah. Of course.

Jane: And this is why you are worried that, at some point in the future, that kind of brainwashing and homogeneity might someday be inflicted upon us by powerful people in the west?

John: I mean yeah, if the CCP does not do it to us first. Did you know they are trying to take over the world?

Jane: They are?

John: Oh yeah! The Chinese want to take over the world and give us all a social credit score so we will all think the same. How do you not know about this? Do you not ever watch TV?

Jane: How do you know it is true though??

John: That they want to conquer us and give us a social credit score? Come on! Open your eyes! Have you seen how they treat their own population? They are genociding the Uyghurs as we speak! Millions and millions of them in Nazi-style extermination camps! Plus they deliberately released the Covid virus to hurt us after cooking it up in a lab, they are taking over Hollywood and infiltrating our political and academic institutions, and they have colonized the entire continent of Africa! Of course the CCP wants to rule us! Do you not ever watch Tucker Carlson? They are truly, deeply evil, and we have got to do something to stop them.

Jane: Sounds like you have got this China thing all figured out. You are right, that sounds really scary. I can not imagine what it would be like, living in a thought-controlled dystopia where your rulers are brainwashing everyone into obedience and making sure everybody thinks the same way about stuff.

John: Yeah! Finally you get it! I am glad you have come around. Honestly you are the first person I know who did not already understand these things about China.

Jane: I will bet.

John: So do you think it will happen? Do you think our government will implement a social credit score system to make us all believe lies and propaganda, like the Chinese?

Jane: You know, I would not worry about it.
