  • Nooo ur documents. Not ur private key lol (it wouldn’t exactly be private now, would it). Let’s say u lose ur private key. U would have to manually do shit like u do when u lose ur passport.

    What I’m saying is, ur identity being deleted only if the government AND u lose all ur data on all devices at the same time. Which is incredibly unlikely.

    It’s like saying, “I don’t trust a papered system because the state buildings and my house could burn at the same time with my documents in them”

    It wouldn’t really affect u even if ur id got deleted. Let me explain. Ur id is nothing but information correct (your name, address, etc.). The same goes with contracts. What makes ur id special is that the government has verified it to be legit.

    A very simple way of doing this is by making the government cryptographically sign ur id/contact. I would really recommend getting a functional understanding of how public-private key cryptography works. Basically, the government just has to put up its public key online. If u have ur id, u can verify if the document is issued by the government using their public key.

    As long as the public key stays there, and u don’t lose ur id and contracts they won’t technically be lost.

    Also, if the public key suddenly changes/disappears without being notice, everyone would know that something’s up. It’s like ur government building’s staff was suddenly replaced.









  • Ok, we at least have a hypothesis now. So u’r saying, the US military is secretly executing a Republican plan when a Democrat is in office, when there was a Republican President in office just 3 years ago who tried to coup the government? Don’t u think the military would’ve pulled shit waaaay more noticeable than DDOSing a goddamn archive for five minutes?

    Also, why would America want to spark WW3? Businesses function best during peacetime. WW3 would definitely mean usage of nuclear weapons. By your logic, we should’ve already had a nuclear war back when the Soviet Union existed.

    This is just like the anti vax conspiracies- the US military is putting chips through vaccinations to control u.
