Hopefully it'll just be a "Are you over 16?" box.

Digital ID sounds fucking disastrous.

I've experienced wokeness in real life. I was told by a woman that I hate Taylor Swift because of sexism.

No, I hate her because she's an environmental hazard and bland. There is also a lot of mockery of lonely men, where their anxieties and fears are handwaved away

You also can't say it isn't present in real-life. Online interconnectivity is reality now.

It actually goes both ways

You can't educate them or parent your own child? I don't want to have my ID forced online just to engage in social media.

It goes much more than that. It started as the rise of atheism, where impressionable young boys, wanting to be rebels discovered the dopamine rush of dunking on religious wackjobs like the Westboro Baptist Church. Not blaming atheism, just pointing out it started here.

It then extended further to video games and gamergate. Then they started getting political, which naturally led them down to 2016 and current times.

The point remains that the majority of them blamed wokeness

The radicalisation of young men stems from blaming them for being straight and white. It also stems from a dividing culture of men and women. This is the product of all of those "girls / boys" memes.

They grew up in a good, progressive world, where they understand sexualities and understand mental health. They grew up being taught that it's okay to be diverse and that it's okay to be as you are. But then it turns around and suddenly they're all to blame for their race, or their orientation, things that they cannot prevent--Well, no wonder they're going backwards. Once their favourite games and hobbies are infiltrated by wokeness and forcefulness, this is how they respond.

Should've realised that perhaps forcing social equity isn't a good idea, and blaming young men and boys for the faults of society doesn't gain their favour. Nah, instead let's double-down even.

watch this space, australia is the testing ground for new services overseas. If this rolls out effectively in Australia, you can expect it in your own country soon.

But they don't control all of Congress. They will still need democrat support, no?

First: The commander-in-chief doesn’t control the military?

Only with unilateral approval from Congress.

The President doesn't control the military

Insecurity, yeah, I agree with that. With a close tie with Russia. Though it's hard to tell the difference now.

China produces the most. However the US produces more per capita. The US doesn't produce the most per capita tho. Should we blame little ol' Palau?
