True. America could drastically cut those numbers if the state similarly threatened starved the children of criminals and dissenters through a centralized financial system tied to an arbitrary social credit system.

Are you positing that it doesn't? There's a reason why so many American political dissenters use crypto, after all. And why they've now trying to grab the on/off ramps.
From my understanding. America doesnt tend to apply the sins of the father to the children intentionally, or systematically, at a national level. The children of criminals are still allowed to attend higher education instead of being cut out of almost everything, including public transport. They dont get cut out of the financial systems either. Its not been so completely centralized yet, as evidenced by off ramps even existing.
I can agree with the idea there are many different groups attempting to create such a system in their own self-interest.
