When I say it's a war, people think I’m speaking hyperbole. They reason, "Wars have armed forces, guns pointed at civilians, innocent people harmed physically and/or financially."

Read what is happening and try to tell me that it is not a war.

in Aus we're about to have digital ID be the only way to access the internet

it's not proposed yet but the blocks are there. Digital ID comes in later this year with some incentive to switch because "it's not mandatory"

at the same time, a state Gov is putting in law that prevents anyone of certain age using social media

i don't personally disagree with the ideas, but I don't trust the people making these snap decisions or where it could lead

Is there any reason why people would want to switch to a digital one? What's the incentive?

I have come here to chew bubble gum and vibe...

And I'm all out of gum

right now not much, i expect they'll tie in CBDC use eventually. maybe tax cuts or higher savings rates

Dang, tax cuts would get me on it in a heartbeat I imagine

yeah it would get enough people using it even if it was marginal
