Does anyone else feel no allegiance to any place?
I grew up in South Africa to a SA mother/Swiss father. I left SA after university, moved to Switzerland. I have completely failed to integrate into this society and feel utterly alien to it. South Africa is a toilet and I never want to see it again. Now I feel like I have no culture, no nationality.
same breh
Me I guess. Citizenship I have is just some stupid legal shit I was born with, I have zero allegiance and if I could get away with it I'd sell secrets or whatever for a few grand, well maybe not to non-whites. Otherwise I have 0 patriotism or care towards "society" and mostly consume non-US culture and live a pretty rootless, aloof and postmodern lifestyle. Plus I avoid the news/politics and have a neutral view of world politics.
Actually living in the US is quite better/more fun if you're uncaring/unpatriotic
I will always be an outsider anywhere, this is my home.
Even if I don't feel I belong to where I was born I will never be accepted as one where I am now I am driven to perpetual exile. Is this not the state of being? To be able to be nowhere and no one
the only time i ever felt connected to finland was when i was in the military
You could always try jumping ship again
Just keep hopping country until you find a people/place/culture that fits you best. That's what I'm doing.
So far it was south Korea because I like cute girls and have autism
If people around me were more civilized I could see myself being a nationalist but I just don't see anything to defend here.

I'm on the autism spectrum, I don't fit in with humans period
I'm Scottish but the Scottish people are socialist lefties and have a peasant-like victim mentality and an inferiority complex. I could always opt to belong to Britain but Britain in its current state is the same shithole that lets 1400 girls get raped and arrests people for speaking their mind.
I love historical Scotland and Britain but what they are in their modern state is something I want no part of and cannot identify with.
>inb4 le just leave then
Would if I could my mates, maybe one day...
the swiss are notoriously introverted towards foreigners
should have gone to like australia or something, its ridiculously easy to get permanent residency there.

Amazing how often low-IQ retards with no knowledge of economics or law bring this up for non-Schengen people. Completely oblivious to how rare and exclusive it is to be able to both qualify and have access to job transfer opportunities to relocate and be hosted in another first-world country
I feel this a great deal and have had extensive conversations about this with close friends when they ask me about what I feel is my nationality. I was born and lived nearly 10 years in England yet my father is Portuguese and my mother is Brazilian.
We left England for brazil where I lived 2 years. I then came to Portugal but have never been able to identify with Portuguese people or its culture at all. My friends find it weird when I treat them as "you Portuguese" as I never include myself, despite having lived here half of my life and having a Portuguese citizenship. I'm going to England this year to try out life over there again, although mostly just because we still own a house there.
My mother has even opened up to me about how she worries over how me and my brothers don't seem to bare love for any country ou have one to call home. I don't personally mind this, it's not some big drama to me as I can't really miss what I've never had, but sometimes it feels weird to think I don't really have a place where I want to die or actually feel at home.
You could always try hosting the Daily Show.
That's because you're a mongrel.
Consider suicide.
Ever heard of the Spotlight Effect? honestly, if you're fluent in Portuguese and pass as a local, you fit in. People are too busy in their lives to nitpick you, you're just another body walking on the street. Everyone is more concerned with themselves and family than they are with strangers. I don't think you should be self concious about it, when you're older you'll find out just how little other people have been thinking about you and judging if you fit in
No. I feel allegiance to America first and then the West in general.
>Consider suicide.
As diaspora even my dad says it, fuck the government, borders and the flag. It will never protect us nor help us for its only the will of Allah that determines our fate
Funny enough I've been called that once.
I don't really care about what others think. I usually don't even think that much about the concept of "home" since to me as long as I'm around my family (parents and siblings, the only constant in my life) I feel mostly ok. But people actually have a weird obsession over nationality and allegiance to a country which I guess you only notice when you've been systematically asked "which you consider your country". I can't even begin to explain how many times I have been asked this, how many times people have been confused with how I in fact do not love this country as my own and how many people have actually felt offended by this.
I'm pretty sure eventually Ill find some place nice enough, have a family and that'll be that. I actually believe this can be quite a positive point. I feel much freer than most.
Also thanks for the positive words user.
