Governments around the world are currently working on setting the precedent. Surely if you're a good person you'll take the test so we can strive towards true equity. Those anti-equityers are an existential threat to our society, and more importantly, to marginalized peoples.

Sounds absurd but everything that sounds absurd today is only 5 years down the line. Think of what the unthinkable was 5 years ago or 10 years ago. Don't be surprised when you start to hear about equity ID.

That stops liberal democracies. It wouldn't stop Nazis.

I'm discussing the return of one-drop laws, something that happened in a liberal democracy.

The Nazis don't exist anymore. It's so called liberal democracies you've got to be worried about.
