We really are turning into China.

It's so obvious that the powers that be look at China's control of their population with envy and think that to compete with China they need the same amount of control.

And because we're a nation of pussy-ass bitches, no one stands up and does what's necessary to end this fascist bullshit. There's only a few of us actually doing something and it's not nearly enough to make a noticeable difference.

Just quit eBay after 20 years... they wanted my SSN For their managed payments system to allow me to keep selling a few things here and there. Nope!

You mean the same SSN you gave to PayPal so they could process payments?

Communist, not fascist. Fascists oppose communism; that's literally how all fascist groups started throughout history. Fascism will save you from this sort of thing; whether you like it or not, requiring this sort of thing is in complete alignment with the principles of individualistic freedom, which is exactly why it's occurring. Fascism is literally government control of corporations, which is what you want if you want Facebook to not be allowed to do this.

Oh, so close.

The powers that be built china and used it as a testing ground. China is the successful model they now intend to make global. There is no competition involved here.

Correct. China is/was the test bed for tech eventually planned for the US.
