> I don't get the resistance to a digital/national id in other countries. To us it is quite bizarre.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that this is a language barrier issue but this comes across as astonishingly narrow minded.

It's obviously a cultural difference issue that might create the impression of narrowmindedness.

Yeah I get the cultural difference. Being unaware of other cultures differences is the part that comes across narrow minded.

I can imagine why a person wouldn’t be afraid of their government but I’m having a much harder time with their inability to reciprocate.
