A political leader who rules with a calculated mix of authoritarianism, legal rigidity, and emotional detachment. A Cruelocrat blends capitalist control mechanisms with the surveillance state tendencies of communism—totalitarianism in a tailored suit. They often advocate for social credit systems, where empathy is obsolete and law is worshipped like a god. Think: cold steel doors, CCTV eyes, and policy over people.
"Under the new social credit scheme, even forgetting to sort your recycling could cost you your job. Welcome to the age of the Cruelocrat."
