I still don't like the social credit thing, but I at the same time I wouldnt mind moving to Sweden from the US if I had the chance

Sweden also has the credit score thing

Oh wow I wasn't aware, I have only been to Sweden and Finland for a day each on a Cruise trip my friends dragged me on

To clarify - Sweden has a lesser variant of the U.S credit score system, but it differs in some important ways. For example, you don't have to get a credit card to 'build credit' - you are assumed to be in good standing unless you have unusual ratios of debt and so on.

Sweden does not have a social credit score system.

You don't even understand the social credit thing. You have no idea what it is, how much of it is real versus propaganda, and how it differs from the credit score system in the US.

Just FYI, .world users can't see replies from lemmygrad accounts.

The social credit system is really overblown, it isn't extensive and it's more for businesses to prevent tax evasion and whatnot.
