Personally I feel more connected to the Vancouver BC/ Seattle/ Portland corridor than with the rest of the US, so I feel more comfortable saying I’m a Cascadian than an American.
I am German, but I feel foremost European
I identify mostly with my country (Brazil). I honestly identify more with a somewhat local football team (soccer team, for the americans) than with my state lol.
I am European (but currently living in Asia). I don’t identify with my country of birth. However, I do feel connected to the Franco-Alemannic culture space that I grew up in. The languages, literature, arts and crafts, architecture, food, music etc. are way more important to me than the colour of my passport or the madhouse that is politics.
I was born in PRC, immigrated to the US. I’m a current US Citizen derived from my mother’s naturalization. I identify as an American… because I grew up here, and lived longer than I ever did in China. Most of my memories are in the US.
…but this administration really want to make me get stuck in an airport, because um… checks news… yeah, not sure if my Citizenship is gonna last long under this pseudo-fascist regime.
PRC automatically revoked my citizenship already, so no going back. Job market in China is horrible, 1.4 Billion(?) People competing for jobs… hard for even find a job… and there aren’t many parks like the US have, there aren’t as many trees, at least in Guangzhou, felt like some urban hell.
So um… if fascists revoke my citizenship… I’m gonna become a documentary/movie like that other story of the person that waa stuck in an airport, y’all 'bouta see me on a wikipedia page! 🙃
I really like the concept of “Citizen of Earth”, but nobody in the world share that idea so…
I guess I’m stuck with being “American” for the time being… Or maybe Philadelphian? I mean… I’ve lived here like a decade so…
🤷♂️
(I don’t even know what’s the point of these identifiers…)
I identify with Norwegian and western european liberal values. I believe in free speech, democratic values, science, press freedom, human rights, unity, being compassionate, a strong welfare state, equality, womens rights, lgbtqia+ rights. I also have a sense of feeling that all europeans are my peers and that we are a collective. When Russia attacked Ukraine, it felt as if they in some way also attacked a close neighbour, a friend and our way of life.
Despite being cishet somehow it’d be LGBT-dominated and 80% about gaming like everywhere I find myself lol
I mean it! I keep finding myself in queer communities and I legitimately don’t know why lol
Because, while assholes can be found in all places, you have decided yo surround yourself with the interestingly weird.
I am disabled, and a retro computer nerd.
Because frankly? I haven’t been proud of America since 9/11 and nothing my family or the people around me have said or done have helped me to not feel shame.
The country of “Disabled Retro Computer Nerd Land” sounds rad as hell, (the DRCN for short)
