Threats posed by the proposed EU integration of digital ID and CBDC
548 sats \ 8 comments \ @TomK 2 Dec 2023 meta
Towards total control and vigilance: the (unelected) Commission President Ursula von der Leyen advocates an EU-wide digital ID and proposes a versatile tool for European citizens. However, the close link between this digital ID and the programmable central bank digital currency (CBDC) is an open threat to individual sovereignty and freedom.
And as so often in the past: there is NO political debate, no democratic legitimacy for this degenerate step backwards in civilization. This must be stopped!

The law is already passed, I don't remember when it should be in effect in all the countries, but within very few years. It is voluntary though, so everyone should be able to resist, no matter how law abiding they need and want to be. The problem will probably be incentives - it's not hard to imagine that they'll make sure to make it complicated to live without it and/or some kind of benefit to those who have it. Neither is it hard to imagine that it being voluntary is only temporary, but for now it is.
I could say that the most important thing going forward is to resist getting it, but I'd be preaching to the choir. That message somehow needs to be spread to the idio-Hrrm, masses, I mean, in a form they understand and act upon.

Don't worry about this. The day they plan to introduce their CBDC the Eurozone will be dead.

eID is a problem even without a CBDC though. "Login with EU-eID to access this website" as ubiquitous as "click here to accept cookies" is not a good future. Especially combined with AI.
Not in a "i don't believe you" way, just curious: how do you think the Eurozone will die? What do you think will replace the euro? Famine and fights? National currencies? Dollar? Bitcoin? Shitcoin? Other?

Oh, I think we would need a videocall to reflect on that. But what I see is a totally rotten banking system, high public debt, a recession, the friction between north and south, the Davosian problem, uncontrolled mass migration, a demografic collapse, capital flight. I don't know.... but for sure the USD will survive the Eurozone. I see a split coming and a type of north/south euro-system. Italy can easily kill it by exiting (Target 2 problem for the undercapitalized Bundesbank). Puh.. I don't know... try to by BTC...

.... and there are still 99% of strong believers. I am not sure if these people don't read history books, or are cowards, stupid, lazy or something combined. Would be a nice experience for them living one year in Eastern Germany at their peak... or North Korea or name any other commie shithole.

How could they read if they have these on their head? This is the "society" of today... in just one picture.
