Citizenship is not about consent. There might be situations where you can out of yours, but I don't think that means that everyone else consents. That said I don't agree with how it works.
- int_19h 8y agoCitizenship is at least opt-out in general. Some countries don't let you do it at all, and most make it complicated and expensive, but still. For adults, that's an option if you're unhappy with taxes, laws etc. But if you're born a citizen in a country with conscription, then you're underage - and thus unable to opt-out on your own, even if you could somehow afford it - until you're 18. And then they hand you the summons.
