It sounds like a one-way ticket to not being frustrated at the government and inadequate, duplicated, pointless state ID processes.

It sounds like a one-way ticket to not being frustrated at the government and inadequate, duplicated, pointless state ID processes.
- willmadden 4y agoWhat checks and balances would be in place to prevent government from abusing control of national ID? How long do you think it would be before you were required to provide national ID before creating an account on the major social media outlets, accounts that they would ask the outlets to lock when they don't like the speech (as they literally just did with Twitter)? How long would it be before they used that ID to lock people out of their bank accounts, like they just did in Canada and regularly do in China? How long before you have to present that ID at checkpoints, and they use it to limit your travel, as they would have during the COVID lockdowns? I don't want to live in a police state for the sake of "convenience", and that's exactly what people in power would do if you let them.
