Yeah exactly it's dangerous because they also are under the belief they can get away with anything, seemingly true since there has been no real pushback except for people leaving the system. 

However, they've laid the groundwork in nearly every country to have a CBDC which will/is connected to some opaque rule set they can shut off at will. At the same time they're doing the digital ID thing.

I do believe they will attempt to implement it, it will fail, and people will have to live with navigating around the ruins of the attempted control system. Someone pointed out that previous control system (vaxpass) didn't get implemented because people were too dumb to download an app. The "tech savvy" younger generations are probably decently close to that point as well.
