Statelessness is not a problem of a lack of citizenship. Rather, it is a problem of the bad behavior of certain human beings towards others who lack citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that people can be displaced from their homes and permanently barred from returning, for example \u2013 on pain of imprisonment for illegally crossing a border and even death for attempting to resist and evade such injustice \u2013 due to a war between states or the collapse of some treaty signed by people long dead is not \u201ca problem that the international community should address,\u201d but rather a problem with the existence of nations themselves and with the crimes carried out in their names.<\/p>\n<p>From Friedrich Nietzsche to Garry Davis to Jeff Knaebel to me, there have been a small number of people who have quit their citizenships intentionally and lived stateless for the remainder of their lives. Certainly, this is a risky proposition in the modern world, where the varnish of a bogus consensus reality allows and even encourages some people to actively discriminate against, exclude and even imprison stateless persons for merely existing, and statelessness is not a status chosen or even desired by the vast majority without citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>Citizenship, or the lack of it \u2013 along with gender, immigration status, sexual orientation, religion and race \u2013 is used as the basis and justification for social exclusion and discrimination both active and passive. We should allow nobody \u2013 whether cloaked in the presumptuous officialdom of state authority or not \u2013 to behave in such fashion toward other people without consequence.<\/p>\n<p>Let us strive not to be citizens, but true equals everywhere on this, the only planet we have.<\/p>\n<p>By Mike Gogulski<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NoState.com | Human beings do not need permission to be born, to live, to work, to love and to otherwise fully participate in and benefit from society.
