When I was growing up in Poland, I found it ironic that the national ID card system in Poland had been introduced by the Nazi occupants and then preserved out of convenience.

When I lived in the UK, I found the lack of ID cards liberating, especially associated with the lack of mandatory reporting to the central government of your every address.

I now live in Sweden and the degree of centralisation and digitisation is scary. The current and foreseeable governments are wonderful by Western standards, but isn't it inevitable that darker times will come at some point?
