Yes, it's what you call economic fascism.Digital IDs are practically here and it's not the Government, it's private enterprise, big tech, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Mastercard, the banking system. They need it for business and to prevent fraud.
They are using biometric data, fingerprints, iris scans and tracking of your transactions.
Government will tap into it for the same reason but they aren't leading this.
The Dutch commentator article is conflation. Irrelevant.
It will lead to actual fascism if we are not careful especially in nation states with poor quality democracies.Yes, it's what you call economic fascism.
I think many would be shocked as to how far along even the so-called strong democracies are.It will lead to actual fascism if we are not careful especially in nation states with poor quality democracies.
Its the USA that scares me.I think many would be shocked as to how far along even the so-called strong democracies are.
Of course it won't take the same shape as central Europe of last century, which is resulting in the folly of focusing on "white supremacy" in today's era.
It is taking for shape of the supremacy of postmodern Theory and all of its purulent transmogrifications... DIE, ESG, and the litany of other absurdities that plauge modern life.
Just looked at current legislation in Australia, colloquially known as the "ministry of truth". The US has its own version on the cards and the UK has already implemented it surreptitiously via various statutes.
The most disappointing and alarming thing to me, is that if most people aren't oblivious to it, they are actually cheering it on.
Yes, especially considering from the basis of their constitution.Its the USA that scares me.
In the US is not a question of who is the president. The president has much less power, in practise, than imagined.
In TheoryThe Pres can pardon anyone they want including themselves.
He can press a button and the world goes up in smoke.
Horace, do you really think they have given **Biden** unfettered access to the red button?In Theory
I really don't know. I would say a reasonable President would seek advice before pressing the button, but circumstances might dictate that an immediate response is required.Horace, do you really think they have given **Biden** unfettered access to the red button?
This isn't about personality it's about competence. Joe can scarcely piece together a sentence in the English language, even in those times when he is actually awake, never mind remember the nuclear codes.... And you really think that they really allowed Trump a unilateral decision to lunch 20000 nuclear weapons?I really don't know.

Anyway, the issue is about the powers of the office, not the personality of the incumbent.
The public don't know what really happens with the nuclear codes because you don't want the enemy knowing, but you can guess that if missiles are detected heading towards Washington then the Pres would only have a few minutes to respond, and he is the one who the power is vested in.This isn't about personality it's about competence.

What might be so in theory I very much doubt is true in practise
The president, especially this president, would have very little idea of the strategic implications of what is happening or what he is about to do.The public don't know what really happens with the nuclear codes because you don't want the enemy knowing, but you can guess that if missiles are detected heading towards Washington then the Pres would only have a few minutes to respond, and he is the one who the power is vested in.
