Denmark implemented digital ID 15 years ago. My Danish husband has it but I don’t (yet) because I don’t yet have residency. Nobody in Denmark seems to have an issue with it; perhaps they protested before it was implemented. I don’t know. But Danes are generally very compliant subjects. Most Danes I know think it’s very useful for protecting online banking. Obviously, the way around that is to use cash / barter and Denmark still uses cash. I haven’t seen its use anywhere else. It’s not used for point of purchase or using your card on Amazon. The only time it seems to be used is when they login to their bank account or communicate in any way with the gov’t. The only way around it that I can see is to develop a parallel economy, which will be useful when and if the electrical grid ever goes down.
Digital ID is already available and used by some consumers in the US. It’s not mandatory in Texas, yet. I’ve received two nudges to set it up. Once after installing the latest update on this iPhone and then when downloading my bank’s app after their website refused to recognize my user ID and password as was the previous process used to access accounts.
Both times I declined but was still able to go on my merry way. Just waiting for the incident to make it mandatory…
… the PTB might want to remember that one “mandatory” very often sets off concomitant “mandatories”. See Newton’s Third Law of Motion …
Whatever ‘They’ say it’s always the opposite:
‘Global Digital Compact: an Open Free and Secure Digital Future for All’
‘a Closed, Censored and Hackable Digital Nightmare for the Majority’

I imagine this is going to be redressed as a digital ration book for WW3. Somehow Britain managed to institute rationing with a population of 40 million in 1939 but they’ll insist it has to be digital with a population of 70 million.
Sounds nice on paper but without the “critical mass” of people actively using such a system, along with its required infrastructure in place BEFORE they deploy the trigger mechanism of whatever big event(s) they’re planning to leverage to shift everyone to THEIR new system…there just wouldn’t be any way to implement anything. All the back doors and interested parties would be individually shut down and dealt with…
In a grid down situation even barter wouldn’t work except in very special circumstances. It doesn’t scale and would dangerous to attempt with strangers unless the need was dire.
We really can’t “live” without each other for any extended length of time. Agrarian lifestyle is difficult even under ideal situations. Most are too soft to even attempt it.
Here’s an interesting video made by a full time homesteader that’s worth a watch:
(first 1/3 of the video is about gardening if you’d like to skip)
A few takeaways from the video:
Even though she’s well versed in gardening techniques and has semi-optimal conditions… she only just stored enough tomatoes for the family for this season. Now add some stress to that environment and see how that effects her yield.
She makes a good comparison to the fall of Rome…commenting that it took several generations to fall, and states that she believes WE have been falling for several generations…with today’s children not able to see things from OUR perspective and therefore predictably falling for the lies of the architects, therefore countering any resistance we might offer.
Referencing a few stories about local landgrabs and HOA’s effectively stealing peoples homes…she makes a good case for today’s level of insanity being unsustainable. Irrational behavior and corruption have become the norm, with the perpetrators actions being defended rather than condemned as in days past.
None of this is new information, and she’s just scratching the surface…but it’s nice to see the everyman chiming in…
We will all have to see how the dust settles after a RED OCTOBER. It will get bumpy but the illusions about digital ID will be answered for the good or the bad. We will just have to see. Please be prepared with extra food, water, etc. as has been warned for several years now. I think we are about to see a different place when we come out the other end of this time. (This is fairly global)
Video might be disturbing to some… How many of these “people” have been forced on you? On US!

The digital ID is not for them… it’s for you.
In the vid-chats one evening I mentioned to Dogsbreath that I had no faith left for the people to act to prevent this and so my vote was for anarchy… Dogsbreath replied that you don’t vote for anarchy.
Lets see if he was mistaken…
Not sure it is even preventable, but there will definitely be some that are checking out of the system at that point. In some ways it’s already started. Just watch some footage commonly available of people walking into shops and looting while hapless security guards look on.
Interesting timing given the 3 million who marched in London weeks ago … he’s getting desperate.
Hopefully they will recall how they got there when is comes to forcing.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I can believe many European Union countries will accede to digital ID without much popular pushback. England, it seems to me, is different – though, admittedly, much less so than it used to be. Still, if England falls, I take it as a very, very bad sign for the future. The English accepting it would set a horrible precedent and make the propaganda push for it here in the U.S. that much easier.
Anyway . . . given the difficulty (as others commenters here have rightly pointed out) of living off-grid or in a parallel economy, I’m hoping that if a digital ID is imposed, people will come up with some kind of workaround. I’m not sure what . . . Maybe some tech-savvy people will come up with something.
If digital ID is imposed in the UK, what are all those millions of illegal immigrants who are working illegally going to do? I assume the government doesn’t want them to leave the country. If so, then the government will presumably have to tolerate some kind of workaround to using digital ID for employment.
Or maybe I’m just caught up in wishful thinking!
Biometrics are collected at many EU airports already unfortunately.
Just like the co-ordination during the scamdemic, digital id is being pushed simultaneously globally at the present.
Digital ID is just a matter of efficiency. Everyone likes efficient and convenient experiences, don’t they? I can’t see why there’s such a big deal about having one. Consolidating a person’s experience on the planet and giving them a record seems like a good idea. If anyone asks, bingo it’s right there to share. No need to remember all those events from years ago. Makes obituaries so much easier to post upon passing.
I think everyone should start saving their satoshis to pay the haxors.
I would like my digital id blockchain entry to immutably read;
10 PRINT “Mind your own f€$%ing business”
20 GOTO 10
Now RUN.
Even Palantir’s Uk CEO has publicly come out and said it has it’s flaws.
