Below is a person who suffers from a form of "moral narcissism," twisting reality to cast themselves as righteous by conjuring exaggerated evil in others. This obsessive Hitler-comparison is both intellectually lazy and psychotically self-serving, revealing a mind trapped in delusional grandeur, where complex conflict is reduced to cartoonish villainy.

Democrats and Authoritarianism

Computer says:

The recent shifts in U.S. politics, where authoritarian tendencies appear on both sides, is a nuanced phenomenon. In the case of the Democratic Party, concerns about authoritarianism or totalitarian traits often revolve around several key factors:

1. **Increasing Centralization of Power**: Modern political dynamics have seen the executive branch accumulate power, a trend that intensified during crises, such as the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. Both Democratic and Republican leaders, when in office, have expanded the powers of the executive. In the Democratic context, some critics argue that reliance on executive orders and federal agencies to push policy—rather than through Congress—can resemble authoritarian centralization, though these efforts are usually framed as responses to urgent issues.

2. **Identity Politics and Cultural Authoritarianism**: Cultural and identity issues have become flashpoints, and the Democratic Party has aligned strongly with progressive stances on social issues. While championing progressive social reforms, a segment within the party is perceived as exerting social and cultural pressure, which critics argue limits freedom of expression and promotes “cancel culture.” Some see these tactics as soft authoritarianism, where social cohesion or ideological unity is enforced by informal means—through media, corporate partnerships, or academia.

3. **Information Control and Media Symbiosis**: The close alignment between certain media outlets and the Democratic Party agenda has prompted accusations of attempting to control narratives. This isn't outright censorship by the government but is viewed by critics as an informal system where certain viewpoints receive extensive coverage, while others are sidelined or de-platformed. This close alignment has raised concerns about information transparency and the narrowing of accepted political discourse.

4. **Use of Surveillance and Security Measures**: Like previous administrations, Democratic administrations have at times expanded surveillance policies or supported enhanced security measures, especially in response to terrorism or cyber threats. The implications of these policies, seen in government overreach or data collection, have raised questions about privacy and the balance between security and individual rights.

5. **Electoral and Institutional Reforms**: Some proposed reforms, such as expanding the Supreme Court, modifying the Electoral College, or altering voting laws, are sometimes framed as ways to “restore democracy.” Critics, however, argue that these efforts could consolidate power in ways that undermine checks and balances, reflecting a willingness to alter long-standing democratic norms when they do not favor a specific political outcome.

### The Broader Context

Both parties in the U.S. have displayed elements that, under stress, begin to look authoritarian when they prioritize expediency over deliberative democracy. Many of these trends accelerated in the 21st century amid high political polarization and the weakening of traditional democratic institutions. Rather than an explicit turn toward authoritarianism by one party, these shifts reflect a broader trend in Western democracies facing the stresses of rapid change, economic disparity, and populist pressures.

The perception of rising authoritarianism within the Democratic Party may not entirely define the party, but it's part of a larger pattern in democracies worldwide, where political actors leverage whatever tools they can to gain or maintain power. In response to crises, the checks and balances essential to democracy face strain, and parties across the spectrum risk overreach in the name of stability, security, or social progress.

The text below is the complete reason why Elon and the ID Card fanatics are 100% wrong.

The UK ID card is not what you think it is. It is not a simple identity document like your passport or driving license. It is in fact, a database backed control grid and the fulfilment of Orwells nightmare.

You may have heard that legislation creating compulsory ID Cards passed a crucial stage in the House of Commons. You may feel that ID cards are not something to worry about, since we already have Photo ID for our Passport and Driving License and an ID Card will be no different to that. What you have not been told is the full scope of this proposed ID Card, and what it will mean to you personally.

The proposed ID Card will be different from any card you now hold. It will be connected to a database called the NIR, (National Identity Register)., where all of your personal details will be stored. This will include the unique number that will be issued to you, your fingerprints, a scan of the back of your eye, and your photograph. Your name, address and date of birth will also obviously be stored there.

There will be spaces on this database for your religion, residence status, and many other private and personal facts about you. There is unlimited space for every other details of your life on the NIR database, which can be expanded by the Government with or without further Acts of Parliament.

By itself, you might think that this register is harmless, but you would be wrong to come to this conclusion. This new card will be used to check your identity against your entry in the register in real time, whenever you present it to 'prove who you are'.

Every place that sells alcohol or cigarettes, every post office, every pharmacy, and every Bank will have an NIR Card Terminal, (very much like the Chip and Pin Readers that are everywhere now) into which your card can be 'swiped' to check your identity. Each time this happens, a record is made at the NIR of the time and place that the Card was presented. This means for example, that there will be a government record of every time you withdraw more than £99 at your branch of Nat West, who now demand ID for these transactions. Every time you have to prove that you are over 18, your card will be swiped, and a record made at the NIR. Restaurants and off licenses will demand that your card is swiped so that each receipt shows that they sold alcohol to someone over 18, and that this was proved by the access to the NIR, indemnifying them from prosecution.

Private businesses are going to be given access to the NIR Database. If you want to apply for a job, you will have to present your card for a swipe. If you want to apply for a London Underground Oyster Card,or a supermarket loyalty card, or a driving license you will have to present your ID Card for a swipe. The same goes for getting a telephone line or a mobile phone or an internet account.

Oyster, DVLA, BT and Nectar (for example) all run very detailed databases of their own. They will be allowed access to the NIR,just as every other business will be. This means that each of these entities will be able to store your unique number in their database, and place all your travel, phone records, driving activities and detailed shopping habits under your unique NIR number. These databases, which can easily fit on a storage device the size of your hand, will be sold to third parties either legally or illegally. It will then be possible for a non governmental entity to create a detailed dossier of all your activities. Certainly, the government will have clandestine access to all of them, meaning that they will have a complete record of all your movements, from how much and when you withdraw from your bank account to what medications you are taking, down to the level of what sort of bread you eat - all accessible via a single unique number in a central database.

This is quite a significant leap from a simple ID Card that shows your name and face.

Most people do not know that this is the true character and scope of the proposed ID Card. Whenever the details of how it will work are explained to them, they quickly change from being ambivalent towards it.

The Government is going to COMPEL you to enter your details into the NIR and to carry this card. If you and your children want to obtain or renew your passports, you will be forced to have your fingerprints taken and your eyes scanned for the NIR, and an ID Card will be issued to you whether you want one or not. If you refuse to be fingerprinted and eye scanned, you will not be able to get a passport. Your ID Card will, just like your passport, not be your property. The Home Secretary will have the right to revoke or suspend your ID at any time, meaning that you will not be able to withdraw money from your Bank Account, for example, or do anything that requires you to present your government issued ID Card.

The arguments that have been put forwarded in favour of ID Cards can be easily disproved. ID Cards WILL NOT stop terrorists; every Spaniard has a compulsory ID Card as did the Madrid Bombers. ID Cards will not 'eliminate benefit fraud', which in comparison, is small compared to the astronomical cost of this proposal, which will be measured in billions according to the LSE (London School of Economics). This scheme exists solely to exert total surveillance and control over the ordinary free British Citizen,and it will line the pockets of the companies that will create the computer systems at the expense of your freedom, privacy and money.

If you did not know the full scope of the proposed ID Card Scheme before and you are as unsettled as I am at what it really means to you, to this country and its way of life, I urge you to email or photocopy this and give it to your friends and colleagues and everyone else you think should know and who cares. The Bill has proceeded to this stage due to the lack of accurate and complete information on this proposal being made public. Together & Hand to hand, we can inform the entire nation if everyone who receives this passes it on.

Computer says:

Michael Saylor’s recent comments about Bitcoin self-custody stirred significant debate within the crypto community. Saylor suggested that storing Bitcoin with large, regulated custodians—such as major banks—might be more practical and secure for most users than self-custody using hardware wallets. His view is that entities like BlackRock or Fidelity could offer reliable custodial solutions, asserting that concerns about governmental seizure are exaggerated and largely rooted in "paranoid" thinking. Saylor believes that the involvement of these established financial institutions could protect Bitcoin from being marginalized and ensure its integration into the traditional economy.

This stance diverges sharply from Bitcoin’s original emphasis on financial sovereignty and decentralization, sparking backlash from prominent voices in crypto. Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum criticized Saylor’s approach as promoting regulatory capture, suggesting that it ignores Bitcoin’s potential to empower individual control over assets. Longtime advocates for self-custody, like Casa HODL’s Jameson Lopp, argued that reliance on custodial solutions could expose Bitcoin holders to systemic risks and weaken the Bitcoin network’s resilience to centralized control. The shift in Saylor's perspective led some in the community to question whether his position aligns with MicroStrategy’s financial interests, especially as his company holds a significant stake in Bitcoin and may benefit from institutional adoption.
