Genius!

If we say "we don't want to be tracked" then they'll say "why not? it's not invasive or anything; you're just being unhealthy and you should be ashamed."

But if we say "you're fatphobic for trying to make me go on a diet! FATPHOBIC BIGOT!" they'll fold faster than Superman on laundry day...unless they say "being fat is bad" in which case we just double down...and then eat a KFC Double Down.

If they really wanted to reward people, they'd reduce the tax burden for people rather than thinking up some bullshit reward system which totally won't just collect the info and sell it for profit.

but it's so much more funny to take people's money, skim it, and then benevolently give a tiny scrap back if they are docile and behave like good cattle.

Can we get the government to buy those 50s weight loss machines with the giant leather strap? I’d watch an advertised broadcast of some danger hairs being forcibly strapped into those.

Is this more of a sexual thing or a corporal punishment thing?

I don't think I want to watch it either way.

The idea is not bad if it is optional. Although I fail to see how they can track what you are buying, you can buy via the app and then use a different credit card or cache for other stuff. Also not all vegetables are healthy, if I was to eat pees, potatoes and beans all day I would be like a pig. While eating veal is not that bad for you. Hopefully this is not some push against meat.

It's why they want to get rid of cash and make everything electronic payments. The reason why they want to push these vaccine passports is once the infrastructure is in place it can be used for a LOT more control over peoples lives. Want to get a beer at the Pub? Scan your health ID to make sure you haven't gone over your health points for the day/week/month/whatever.

If stopping brits from buying beer does not make them rebel nothing will.

Almost 10,000 licensed premises - including pubs, clubs and restaurants - closed permanently last year as the coronavirus crisis hammered the hospitality sector, according to new figures.

Doesn't look like anything will make them rebel then.

Well guess that is it, I can't understand how did Europeans gotten so cucked. You threaten calling them a racist and they shake in their boots, you take away all of their freedoms and they just take it. I wonder if it is do to decades of indoctrination or is it that the strong men died in the war and there is no more strength in the heart of men.

I can't understand how did Europeans gotten so cucked.

Two world wars and centuries of the individualistic and brave-minded leaving to America when they had the chance. Additionally, on the one hand, decades of importation of people from cultures that do not support principles that Westerners take for granted like liberty, freedom, etc. On the other, decades of indoctrination of people into an ideology that doesn't support principles that Westerners take for granted like liberty, freedom, etc.

edit: tO bE fAiR the US has been getting a lot of both for the past few decades too :\

More like "scan your health ID to make sure you're not contributing to the ongoing health crisis of racism". That's the endgame for the various "passes": locking dissidents of any kind out of society.

Must walk those tax cows around the yard for some exercise if they are to be milked longer.

They hate and persecute parenting, because they serve Satan. Their master rebelled against the Father, and they emulate him in that.

Last time I checked fatties were still a net savings to health care just like smokers because they die so young. Maybe that's not the case anymore?
