I am who they say I am.

Who gets to choose the they?

If you choose to request and receive "their" services then "they" get a say. Thus, if you use stuff like roads, schools, ambulances, airports, insurances, or the police, then you are part of the society. Of course you can retreat in a forest and use none of those, then you have a valid point in rejecting central authorities, but only then.

It’s a reference to Weber.

I understand its shallow of me, but I stopped reading exactly here.

Your government needs to know who everybody is. That means illegal immigrants can't get drivers licenses, and that's kind of the point.

> Even IDs for undocumented people (such as Californian AB 60 driver’s licenses) require a foreign passport, national ID card or birth certificate, and can’t help people who have no state-issued identity documents at all.

> This existing ID system is harmful, inaccessible and a single point of failure
