@sapphire @skylar @eriner I said it's inevitable and would happen in my lifetime and that central id is the key component with most of the other components already being in place. you can squirm around all you want, several states have already implemented it completely
@sapphire @eriner @skylar several european countries straight up have national smart card ids, we are gonna have that here eventually. all that banking software you guys are claiming doesn't exist is already being used

@sun @skylar @eriner @sapphire fwiw, we have smard card enabled ids and they are used by almost no one. might be because germans are usually pretty pro-privacy.

another thing i noticed: you probably want to have migrants which form subcultures. i think the millions of turks we have in germany are the best insurance against the state going full throttle authoritarian.

@bonifartius @skylar @eriner @sapphire how much immigration we should have is a different discussion from should there be a giant human trafficking pipeline across the border to satisfy america's hunger for the cheapest possible labor

@sun absolutely. the mass immigration we had in germany in the last decade wasn't good as well.
