A chinaman speaking ill of the social credit score - or China in general - has a good chance of disappearing. I don't. In fact "Fuck Germany" is one of the rallying cries of the Krautian Left.
But you see, even if it didn't, your Chinaman wouldn't
want to speak out against Social Credit Scores because it's been normalised. He feels it makes him safer and the Chinese better off as a nation.
If you want another example, it's like I've said before. It's like people who defend wearing the mask. Or the frogs who defend paternity tests being banned in their country. Or like many Anglos who defend the gun control laws in this country and don't understand why these Americans would want to own all these guns. We used to have right to bear arms, same as the Americans, in this country so there's a perfect example of your Stockholm Syndrome in action.

I'm sure a tiny group using an out-of-fashion message board system will be the primary concern of our corporate overlords,
not the masses of
millions all to eager to feed their algorithms and trackers with all sorts of personal information.
We are though, and you're naive to think otherwise. Our overlords are far more concerned about the people who don't conform than the people who do.

A vaccine pass for the coof is conditional, the ID is not. You simply get the ID for existing and it's just there to quickly and simply verify that I am indeed who I claim to be, like when I go and pick up a parcel.
You will get a vaccine pass just for existing, and it will have these flags that will confirm your vaccination status and determine where you can and can't go as a result. It will end up being the same card, just watch.

Internet access is already bound to my person by virtue of me paying my phone bill in my name at my address.
And what if someone else paid your phone bill, or you used the internet at someone else's address?

I fail to see how an ID would add another layer to that, as it can't hinder my ability to obfuscate my activity.
If you think that a draconian, totalitarian policy not actually being effective at preventing the thing it's designed to prevent will stop its implementation then you haven't been paying attention to our discussion.

UK doesn't have ID cards because no UK government has seriously tried to implement them.
We
did have them, during World War II, when they were used for exactly the purpose I've indicated. To track the movements of British citizens because we didn't want spies in the country. Then, after the War, they were abolished.
Hitler
also had ID cards for the same purpose. All military men and military eligible men were required to have them, because he didn't want them running. All Jews were required to have them, because he didn't want them running.
