There's nothing inherently wrong with digital ID, provided it's implemented in a zero-knowledge-style manner. In fact, it would be much better than what we have now: Uploading your physical photo ID to every company that is legally required to ask for it.

My country has had mandatory ID and digital certificates built into it for decades, so... the tone of this is going to miss the mark here.

That being said, it's one thing for it to exist for remote signatures or access to online interactions with public entities and another to require it on general use of private interactions.

This thing would get more traction if it had any amount of nuance, instead of fearmongering all the way into "ID existing is class warfare". It reads like a reductio ad absurdum of both a progressive and a privacy-minded position. It's really clumsy.

Fascists openly declare that it's to keep people in line. They are allowed to have the free speech but not others. They should be allowed to have different laws and be above others. If you're not in the in crowd, then you deserve to be discriminated against.
