  Humanity? Lol, speak for urself, US-American. In civilized countries we use ID cards for identification. Says a lot about the US that y’all abuse Social Security Numbers as identification lol. Imagine claiming to be the greatest country on earth but then not even having ID cards lol.

    Frankly having to have an ID card is not a boast. It’s depressing.

      Why? It is an easy and secure way to identify yourself, be it for shopping or taxes or other necessary paperwork stuff, or anything else.

        because conspiracy theory nonsense and the government is inherently evil, or something.

        apparently ‘freedom’ is living in the backwoods your entire life as an undocumented citizen or something.

        In any other country, I would agree. In the US, you’re guaranteed they will privatize the shit out of it until it’s costly, inefficient, unreliable, but someone became a billionaire.

      You’d rather have papers?

        I’d rather have nothing. The government shouldn’t care and no one else should either.
