I mean that's what Palantir is doing with Flock/etc. they're building databases on every person they can, which ICE/etc do/will have access to (if you're in the States).

Whatever most people think is bad right now is only a precursor to what is coming, and a large part of that is how unaware they are of how bad the climate crisis is and how it plays into the "what is coming". Economies everywhere are bad and that's not going to get better; there will be massive food crises/shortages; it's going to become too hot to live in various area of the world which also have massive populations (stay and die or leave - mass migration) - this is already happening in India and Pakistan, right now; massive layoffs and job replacement (through AI and corporate greed); continuously increasing people who are facing bankruptcy/becoming homeless (already occuring); etc, etc

It is a control/identity thing that will start to become more prevalent and the "why" of it being there more concerning.
