'let's make sure this is done in a privacy, human rights preserving manner'

i get the impression one of the main reasons for doing these CBDC's is to eradicate such things.

pushback will only cause them to be more sly, and tell more lies as they use the same boil the frog incremental approach to mislead the public herd that they do in every other sphere of life - and the herd will, as they all to often do, trot along behind it, muttering.

whether out of complacency, ignorance, or complicity (welfare mentality, at every level - personal, corporate, institutional) many people are persuaded of the 'Govt is in charge' delusion.

i'm not an apocalyptic doomsayer as such, but i am a pessimist when it comes to macro level political action - a lot of people will end up suffering this garbage, but it is ultimately their choice to continue to do so or not - it remains to be seen how many have the wit, the will and the personal (and societal!) survival instinct to do the right thing - but personally i'm not sure the mass are psychologically, and increasingly economically, placed to refuse these things.
