Narrowly here approved a plan for electronic ID cards or digital IDs.
00:00:15.360
Of course, this is the land of, you know, the World Economic Forum
00:00:18.720
and the gnomes of Zurich and all this shit and the World Bank and stuff.
00:00:24.260
It says Swiss voters have narrowly approved a plan to introduce voluntary electronic identification cards.
00:00:37.840
With all votes counted, 50.4% of those who voted said yes to the proposal,
00:00:52.180
Opinion polls had suggested that up to 60% backed digital IDs,
00:00:57.120
which is dumb bullshit because they always poll the wrong people, right?
00:01:00.720
So they do that to make sure, oh, everyone else agrees with this?
00:01:05.680
Which also had the approval of the Swiss government and both houses of parliament.
00:01:13.580
An earlier proposal was rejected in 2021 amid concerns the data would be held centrally
00:01:24.340
That was COVID era when they were first pushing that in 2021.
00:01:27.420
But yeah, so the point there is, okay, it doesn't work.
00:01:32.960
If they didn't go through, okay, three years go by.
00:01:40.060
So you have it for a while and then it's like, let's vote on if you want to keep it now.
00:01:44.400
Well, now the whole idea is, well, it's a high-tech society.
00:01:51.780
They have some chip and it's like, it's fine in Finland.
00:01:54.600
Yeah, with some little homogenous population and maybe they've had it for years.
00:01:59.580
But that was before, like, you know, Big Brother was really coming into effect, right?
00:02:03.580
Well, you know it's some transnational corporation.
00:02:06.100
Like, it's probably, I mean, it's not even joking.
00:02:09.200
It's probably Oracle that, like, controls the data for Finland.
00:02:15.920
We've got to trust one of the big boys, you see.
00:02:23.560
But they say, well, it's, you see, to ease privacy concerns, a particular authority seeking
00:02:29.480
information on a person, such as proof of age or nationality, for example, will only be able
00:02:41.700
Citizens can continue to use national identity cards if they choose, which has been standard
00:02:57.560
So this is part of creating your digital person, your digital citizenship.
00:03:04.160
We use them to express ourselves, connect with others, and explore new possibilities.
00:03:09.600
But are we truly equipped to navigate this digital world?
00:03:13.340
Being a digital citizen is about more than staying connected.
00:03:17.060
It's about using technology responsibly, staying safe, and respecting the rights of others online.
00:03:23.020
The European Year of Digital Citizenship Education 2025 is your chance to learn, grow, and make a difference.
00:03:32.780
Together, we can build a more inclusive, ethical, and democratic digital future.
00:03:42.620
But it's to get the initial hooks in you that somehow, if you don't have, like, digitally everything in order, you will be, you'll get a harder time being frozen out of society.
00:03:55.280
Harder time being included in society, I guess.
00:03:57.200
Migrants and non-war will have a way to navigate around this and steal cards.
00:04:01.740
If you're brown, you won't be asked or whatever.
00:04:03.580
No, because if they're trying to say, oh, like in the UK, oh, you need it for employment.
00:04:07.700
So, like, they don't even need the electronic ID card.
00:04:10.200
And even if they do, they work under the table or they're paid, you know, lower wage.
00:04:16.440
They say part of this is the effort to curb the number of illegal migrants living and working in the country.
00:04:26.820
And how, this just means, like, a migrant is going to cross over the border and be like, yeah, I'll sign up for one of those right away.
00:04:37.120
They're just going to get in and avoid this altogether.
00:04:40.200
Well, the argument is, oh, you can't be employed if you don't have a digital ID.
00:04:45.400
But the thing is, they already employ them under the table anyway.
00:04:48.060
This is what the corporations use to drive down wages.
00:04:52.420
Because they don't have to put them in the system.
00:04:56.260
So, how is this going to curb illegal migrants?
00:04:59.000
They're not the ones that are already here that are so easy to bust that they know about.
00:05:08.460
This is just a lie they're using to sell it to people on our side.
00:05:12.160
They're using the momentum of the anti-immigration movement to piggyback a further prison, digital prison system on the native population.
00:05:24.480
But, again, I wouldn't be surprised if this is, like, faked or something like that, right?
00:05:30.580
Digital Switzerland joins forces with the federal government and industry to implement specific use cases.
00:05:40.800
So, what they will do is that this could then also be tied into the fact that if you want to go online, you have to now show your ID.
00:05:48.960
Now, all your posts, anonymity is gone from the internet.
00:05:51.620
And, in fact, if you do continue then to violate those things, just like in Canada with Bill C8, sorry, boom, out you go.
00:05:59.000
Again, this is why Ellison said they will be on their best behavior, not because they want to, but because of threats, coercion, and fear.
00:06:07.280
And so people will begin to self-censor, not say what they want.
00:06:11.560
Ergo, this is how you deal with the noticing online.
00:06:17.140
All the critique can just be curtailed by implementing shit like this.
