The Lockdowns Unearthed American Cultural Rot

Oh look, the US is trialling a Social Credit system (like that of China): https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/other20220929a.htm

I remember when this was a "conspiracy theory" that the end goal of all this bullshit is digital ID and a social credit system. Some cunts like Garry G said I was nuts to suggest it.

Did you link the wrong item? This... doesn't quite seem to say what you claim it does (though I will note it's so atrociously vague it makes me suspicious anyways).

It's deliberately vague, an "ESG-compliant monetary network" is a means for the Fed to trace and control transactions with all those banks who join up. It's got fuck all to do with "climate change" in reality.

But there's nothing there about ESG compliance. Worse, when financial institutions talk about 'climate' they may not be talking about the weather at all but the business climate -- is it a bull or a bear market, what's selling, etc.

Look, it's a good idea to maintain a healthy dose of skepticism and paranoia, but this looks more like theorycrafting and wargaming and less like a social credit system.

Which is not to say the regime isn't fucking around in other ways. They're trying to get their grubby little fingers into cryptocurrency and purely electronic currency, which should make anyone paranoid.

That's really not fair, I think you're nuts for a whole host of reasons  although this one is interesting. It seems at first glance to be banks voluntarily participating in a study to test financial resilience to climate change. I'm not absolutely sure that's what it's for, it might be a resilience test on changes to the financial climate. I'm not sure where this is a trial of a social credit system, you may have to explain but to be fair you don't really take us through your reasoning on anything.

At a broad glance your take seems to be bugfuck insane. I'm sure you'll be able to lay out how it's not in just the same way you laid out how a vast international conspiracy took down Bojo.

  I think there is a quick fix to the cultural rot that this virus exposed.  I always thought JFK and the La Sierra High fitness program for high school kids was on the very best track for US citizens.  Start implementing that right now, and a whole bunch of problems the USA has go away inside of a generation.
