I’m not losing an identity, I’m gaining one by rejecting the one my birthplace wanted to force on me and everyone who can should do the same rather than allow themselves to be brainwashed by governments into nationalist fervor and pride in what piece of land they happened to be born in.

And if that happens to be - by choice - a cultural identity of that birthplace, that’s okay too, so long as that is an independent choice, and not brainwashing done by “culture” and pressure from lunatics like you.

I’m switching to a language that is more useful because more people speak it, especially where I currently live, there are no further implications to language than that.

I didn’t say anything about “especially minorities”, in fact I specifically carved out the exception that people suffering persecution are not able to escape their identities as defined by their ethnicity or any other innate characteristic above, I fucking know, I’m transgender. I would like to not be defined by that because I’m also a person, but whether I like it or not, sometimes I am, and therefore can’t escape it, not yet.

It’s pretty clear that I’m not saying that gay people shouldn’t have pride or that black Americans shouldn’t know their history and have solidarity towards each other, yet you keep trying to paint me as racist using minorities as your motte, but really you’re the one who’s racist if you think people being individuals free to choose their own path without being defined by or hurt because of their ethnicity isn’t the goal.

I don’t know if you’re being dense on purpose or what, I’ve explained it every which way I can think of, but I don’t think you’re acting in good faith, I thought you were a misguided liberal, but I think you’re outright a genuine fascist and genuinely believe everyone belongs with their ethnicity and nationality categorized by culture etc. because you sound like fucking Mussolini, especially with that “modern world” dogwhistle.

Either way, Blocked.
