it’s not hard to commit identity theft in the US. people are just stupid about it.
Calling the US a “shit hole” because it’s hard to commit identity theft is odd.

I don’t think there’s a way to commit identity theft in this hypothetical that would work. Being immortal would mean it had to work in the long run, or at least a few decades until you can do it again. Someone will notice eventually. You can call it “people being stupid about it”, but a mistake will happen if you wait long enough.

And that mistake gets more and more likely over time. An immortal would have had a much easier time 100 years ago. Even much more recently my first drivers license was paper where i was able to change my age with a pen (probably helped that it only had to fool bartenders). Now you leave a trail everywhere

Yeah, there isn’t even a need to move if you are American. Just start a religion based on your immortality, run for elected office, and then the whole system will be so confused that they’ll let you thrive as an immortal deity forever.

See, that’s the kind of “America is a shithole” argument I can support.

Sounds like a lot of responsibility
