On the surface, Trump scrapping birth-based citizenship sounds like tightening control.
But underneath, it accidentally exposes the absurdity of the whole construct.

Citizenship has always been a permission wrapper, not an identity.
A boys-club ledger entry that says: “you belong here because we say so.”

Remove one arbitrary rule and it doesn’t make the system more honest —
it just reveals that all of it is arbitrary.

That’s why even if that specific law goes away, the core stays:
permission replaces participation
paperwork replaces reality
borders replace belonging

So yeah— it’s the wrong intention, but it nudges the truth into daylight.

Long arc though?
Citizenship won’t survive abundance, networks, and mobility.

When:
value creation is global
work is location-agnostic
money is stateless
communication ignores borders

“Where you were born” becomes as irrelevant as:
what phone company you used in 2003
what ISP you had in 1998

Eventually, the only thing left that makes sense is:
Earth.

Not as a government.
Not as a flag.
Just as a shared operating environment.
No papers.
No permission.
No clubs.
