During WWII, we had no ID card, yet food, fuel, & housing rentals were regulated by the Feds.
The Feds already know who we are, our age & sex, our income & occupation, where we live & work, our home value, & many other things. I’d say they have all the info they need to enslave us.
The only solution to tyranny is revolution. Forget petty battles over proper ID. Our current lack of an ID card has not stopped the tyranny we experience today. We need a good, secure ID to protect against identity theft & to help identify enemies & illegals w/i our midst. If it facilitates tyranny, then get rid of the tyrants, not the ID card.
“we had no ID card”
There were ration cards, though. ID cards give immediate ability to control. Without them, they have one less significant tool.
