Vision Wars Chapter 5.2: Digital Gulags of the 21st Century

In Vision Wars Chapter 5.2 we continue to see how “woke” ESG criteria are being imposed in the workplace, determining who gets hired, who gets promoted and who gets invested in. DEI or Diversity/Equity/Inclusion policies mean treating employees as members of a group rather than as individuals. This has even started to corrupt the practice of medicine.
Many nations are being pushed to adopt the Chinese model of government-directed capitalism, a throwback to the fascist corporate/government alliances of the 1930s in Germany, Italy and the United States. Mass surveillance, artificial intelligence and the central bank digital currency allow the Chinese Communist party to monitor social media, travel and purchases of all citizens. Those with a “low social credit” score for unapproved political speech suddenly find out that their Covid health code has turned red and they are not allowed to use trains, planes or other forms of travel. Instead of condemning such practices, many nations are adopting similar digital surveillance capabilities, which will lead to the establishment of “digital gulags,” even in nations that have long thought of themselves as representative democracies.
