So being able to get a token without even the government knowing?
Because if it’s the alternative of the government itself issuing the token and it being only the receiving site not knowing, but the government being able to link it back to you I wouldn’t be happy with that either.
I’d prefer it to be as trackable as knowing which specific alcohol bottle you bought. So other than showing ID to a store to get a random token nobody in theory would know who the token belongs to including the government.
I think that’s the idea of zero-knowledge proofs. Nobody ever knows anything about the other party. Monero uses them (among other things) to be truly anonymous.
