Only immigrants work for their citizenships, I got mine and you got yours as birth and it’s clearly a dilution of citizenship.

- vinay427 5y agoThis is a fantastic reframing, even from someone that already generally felt in line with this view. If you consider the citizenship test in the US, which is already far easier than in much of Europe (and certainly the places with more assimilationist tendencies), it's fairly clear that a decent number of native-born citizens wouldn't pass in the US, and people in the country in which I live would probably do even worse on the test here. A question once asked here was which two species of animals are kept together in the local zoo. Another person was denied by their town (until appealing to a higher court) because they were involved in some animal rights activism, which the people in her town/community disagreed with.
- mytailorisrich 5y agoWitty but actually nonsensical. The point of gate-keeping citizenship for immigrants has been explained ad nauseam in this discussion alone and is, frankly common sense expect for the most extreme on the political spectrum.
