Wanderer now look at what you’ve gone and made me do, by going to look this up........ This resonates and you make a compelling point.. So can’t we go a step further and claim to be global citizens without being tagged or labelled as “citizens of nowhere”? Tribalism eh....I can’t seem to get my head around it. Or as the great Jack Nicholson once memed “why can’t we all just get along” LOL.The Westphalian Peace doctrine has had it’s day, people mainly align align social or economic lines now. First it was monarchs, then nationality, now this.
If you consider yourself British, then English too maybe? Northern or Southern, Lancastrian or (spit) Yorkist. Scouse or Manc, City or United, Stretford End or Scoreboard End? You can go on, and it becomes ever more divisive. Nationhood is lost, it’s had it’s place in the sun, time to move on. There are better concepts of belonging to cling onto!
