      The thing with memes is that they can have a genuine impact on how people view something. People’s views are largely impacted by their exposure, as a general trend, and most people haven’t actually done the reading to see what the credit system in China even looks like. That leaves a large number of people believing in dystopian fantasies of widespread facial tracking and morality judging from cameras on every corner, despite the implausability of such a system.
