You don't like conspiracy theories?
You prefer everybody agrees with the truth?
- benbristow 1y agoConspiracy theories nowadays are about a year away from being conspiracy fact. Digital ID is being HEAVILY pushed by the Labour government in the UK. Scary times.
- analog8374 1y agoIf I was a billionaire I would prioritize identifying, monitoring and controlling the underclass.
- benbristow 1y agoBut that's a conspiracy theory! Why would they ever do that? ... come back to this comment in a year.
- pstuart 1y agoI think that's a fait accompli -- it's merely a matter of who has access to the data. The funny thing is that the clear anti-democratic leanings of our technolords are based upon not trusting the vote of the masses has unfortunately been somewhat validated (case in point: the current admin). There's just one small problem: the technolords themselves have only one vision and skill: enshittification in the quest of personal enrichment. China has a very scary model of societal control, but at least they know how to invest in the country as a whole.

- ta1243 1y agoI'm not convinced something that's been tried multiple times on and off in the UK (last time ID cards were being brought in - by Labour and the 2006 act - it was cancelled by the coalition), and happens in many countries, is a "conspiracy theory" Who exactly is conspiring and what exactly are they conspiring for?
- array_key_first 1y agoI mean, it depends a lot on the conspiracy theories. The common right-wing conspiracy theories in the US are, like, one or two hops and skips away from "jews are running the world and we need to kill them". Guys, why does everything come back to something hitler-y? Can we stop that please?
