    The other day there was a discussion here about just having government id generate a token that can anonymously verify the user’s age. It’s not as privacy friendly as full anonymity, but at least it’s only between you and the government, which you have to trust for a lot of things anyway. And supposedly some countries in Europe are implementing it that way. Why is this not brought up more?





  • What you’re describing is absolutely not my thinking, I very much agree and in fact bring up myself often that collective action should be the norm. I just see politicians as part of this collective, and within the context of representative democracy where we currently live in, expected to be more aware of political context and meaningful action, because that’s literally their profession. Collective action should exist regardless and if needed “help” with the shortcomings of incompetent representatives, but in any case it invites to look closely at how well representatives are qualified, and motivated to do their jobs.
