beggers,homeless ppl, panhandlers… are all doomed

In China, they have Wechat Wallet that people can give money to homeless people. Even homeless people have phones.

cashless societies are nothing but a nasty techbro dream.

It is nasty and dystopian, I agree. But its not really a fantasy anymore, its real, the dystopian future is on the horizon. Soon, it’d be too late to stop the dystopia.

At first, mass surveillance cameras is only in China, but then even supposed “democracies” like the UK have millions of cameras. Then China became mostly cashless, that will also eventually happen to western countries.

The dystopia is coming. You can’t stop it.
