    Why? What loyalty or obligation is owed to a country just because you were born to it? It’s the country’s job to make you want to be a citizen, not the citizen’s to make the country act like it doesn’t hate your guts and see you as a wallet to fleece.

      It’s a democracy. It’s not an autocracy. It is the people’s duty to keep the government in line either way. It is not the countries job to make you want to be a citizen, it is your job to assure the country does as such.

      It’s an incredibly individualistic and irresponsible take to assume the government should do everything without you affecting it at all.

      Yeah, there’s an option if you don’t want to do your part to make the world a better place… No one’s forcing people to stay in the world

        So I should kill myself because America broke the social contract and I’d rather leave than die or become imprisoned fighting to repair it? Fuck you, my man. Revolution isn’t the only option when your government breaks the contract; is every immigrant a traitor?
