Dr. Jordan Peterson issues a chilling warning from the front lines of the digital panopticon.
In China, the architecture of totalitarian tyranny is not a future dystopia—it is today’s reality. A single traffic camera catching you jaywalking initiates a terrifying, fully automated process.
The state’s digital ID system doesn’t just have your name. It possesses your biometric essence: your face, your gait, your genetic code. Conviction is instant. No judge, no jury, no human intermediation.
The punishment is multi-faceted and ruthlessly efficient:
• Fines are automatically deducted from your bank account.
• Your photograph is publicly shamed in your community.
• Your social credit score is systematically reduced.
And when that score falls below the state’s arbitrary threshold, your life is systematically dismantled. You are locked out of society: barred from purchasing a drink, playing a game, boarding a train, or even leaving your designated 15-minute district.
This is not speculation. This is operational. It is a system of control so absolute, so omniscient, that it renders George Orwell’s 1984 “a picnic” by comparison.
The road to this digital serfdom begins with verified digital identity. The question is: Will we fight it, or will we meekly walk down the same path?
So incorrect. A birth certificate and a drivers license proves you are a citizen. You don’t need a passport to prove you’re a citizen. All a passport does is allow you to travel as a citizen of that country. Simplifies the process of ensuring you are indeed a citizen. But it is not the only form of proof of citizenship. Like 80% of the Americans I work with do not have a passport and they are all born and raised Americans. Typically Americans travel and vacation inside of America. So most of them never get a passport.
@SteveP468@barstoolsports This guy just lost the internet. Biggest loser I’ve seen in my life. And I’ve been on the internet since its inception back on Netscape Navigator. Ban alcohol on the golf course….
@1hakankapucu My golden would do the same for every single stranger he has ever seen though 😂 that’s why I have LTE/gps tracker, chip implant, as well as contact info on his collar that also says “I love everyone, please call my mommy”
@SperozReign@ugly_cowboy@larryjones 🤦🏻♂️ there are two land borders you can walk/drive over on a tourist visa you idiot. Not to mention the old fashioned BOAT.
@CollinRugg TPS is a non-immigrant status. Unfortunate, but not sure how this is illegal? They are not immigrants. They are specifically “non-immigrants” as noted in their documentation.
@BuzzPatterson Every single Ukrainian citizen is trying to assassinate Putin if they have the slightest chance. Impossible to place blame on Zelenskyy.
Then you’re shitty at your job. I worked in oil and gas in Poltava Ukraine and some of my best friends worked in oil and gas in Crimea Ukraine (where most of the gas in Ukraine is). While I didn’t work in the Black Sea myself, the Black Sea definitely also has extensive oil and gas reserves. You muppet.
