How do you use your paper ID to to prove identity or age or citizenship to someone hundreds of kilometers away whom you are conducting an online transaction with?

It's not that important to be able to do that. You have been educated to trade your freedom for that kind of convenience, but it is not necessary.

Proof: things mostly work now without all the surveillance state shenanigans.

More proof: humans have lived full and fulfilling lives without "proving identity or age or citizenship to someone hundreds of kilometers away"
