every American has an ID number too... I get the comparison you're making but I don't think birth certificates are inherently dystopian. there's plenty of actual shit to be mad about, such as 14 pages of dead babies, without having to complain about mundane shit
LOL yeah I know. They actually are helpful for any developed country but seeing a document of a list of 34,000 dead humans from newborns to "old" that Palestine is trying to prove were real (because the number dead is way higher) by using the identification numbers and knowing how Israel uses their labor force and tracks them made me feel the parallels to a historical use, a little heavily.
I kinda figured they should just go all the way with it.
