This only works if you go to the green countries:

What a chad move

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

It's pretty telling about how much Americans know about other countries that the assumption is that Jus Soli is the norm.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Might I suggest a second good reason for South American countries--- when nuclear war hits the US, and it will, the southern hemisphere has a shot of surviving a nuclear winter. Billions will die but mostly in the northern hemisphere, even after accounting for fallout spread.

What if I go to the gray countries? Do I despawn?

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

They have deathright citizenship. You automatically become a citizen if you die in their territory.

[–] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Green: unlimited birthright citizenship Red: Limited birthright Citizenship Gray: (At least from my own country, Switzerland): No birthright citizenship

You can't go there until the next expansion.

You got a very loose concept of "nazi"

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Americans posting memes against American Imperialism, while simultaneously having an American-Centric worldview about the world in regards to citizenship.

Ironic.

(No offense to OP 😉)

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

tbh I had no idea Europe was so racist. Citizenship based on "blood" sounds like something out of the middle ages.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Countries that use Jus Soli usually also have Jus Sanguinis. The USA for example. My friend is a US citizen despite not being born there because his mother is a US citizen.

Not having Jus Sanguinis would be downright horrible. Imagine your mother moves back to her home country and if you want to follow her you have to clear immigration hurdles.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah having it as well is good. Using only it is inhumane and barbaric.

[–] meaansel@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For that matter, aren't borders kinda inhumane and barbaric in the first place? They declare some people as second-rate. They trap people in poor dictatorships, but are oh so permeable for conflict minerals or products of sweatshops

Could your point be that generally more ways to become citizen is a better than less?

No need to go overseas, almost all countries with birthright citizenship are in the Americas.

That isn’t the plan you think it is. The US is an outlier in terms of granting birthright citizenship. Most countries - and particularly, most developed countries - do not do this.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Uh, very few countries have birthright only citizenship.

[–] AbnormalHumanBeing@lemmy.abnormalbeings.space 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't choose Germany, though, we (and a lot of nations, actually) still for some reason have citizenship-by-blood/heritage laws more or less straight out of the 19th century, not citizenship-by-birthplace laws.

[–] BurnoutDV@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As a German myself I would like to here some arguments why citizen by the place you happen to be at birth is better?

Basically: Resident enfranchisement. It's weird, when people born in our country and having lived here their whole life can't vote outside of local elections. My own father, for example, had a Dutch background, and was never allowed to vote in federal elections until his death. (Neither he nor I even spoke/speak a single phrase of Dutch)

Yes, things have gotten somewhat better and easier with applications for citizenship, but that there are hurdles like that to begin with, is a bit.... weird.

Also airlines won't let a pregnant woman travel at that point

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that true? Sounds kind of discriminatory.

[–] mEEGal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

sounds more like they don't need a medical emergency mid flight aka 10km above the ocean
