I don’t have to renounce anything. I just don’t feel any nationalism. I don’t believe I’m required to, am I? Blind nationalism is detrimental to human welfare.
As a World citizen I am willing to go wherever opportunities arise. There are millions of Americans living abroad. I may join them one day, after I have maximized my investments. Many parts of the US have better returns than foreign countries so i can arbitrage and use the rental income in retirement. Once I retire, I’ll probably return once a quarter to take care of business. If I’m sick I may need MediCare.
Of course, I want good policies that benefit Americans and by extension humankind. But if Americans insist on we-are-always-best chestthumping and acting against their own interests, then I can’t stop them.
The trade war against China is so dumb. We know what they do works in building wealth for them. So we should counter them with better ideas that would be win-win for humanity. A trade war is lose-lose.
