The Chinese People's Republic has released an app to teach people about Xi Jinping, the current general secretary, and about Chinese Communism in general.
You can rack up points in-app to exchange for real-life rewards;
government officials are required to download and use it;
future employers and state organizations (one and the same, right?) have access to your scores.
The reason I'm including this news item here is that this reminds me so much of the older generation of New World Order Technocrats in the Mage: The Budapest Urbancrawl (M:TBU) setting. (You know, the guys tucked away in the Szabadság Square underground car park labyrinth, convinced that they are still running the show.)
Gamifying propaganda,
making people willingly feed the fires of bureaucracy, and
blatant brain-washing are what floats these old-guard NWO hardliners' boats.
