I call them rats.
I don't believre in gender chauvenism, nor ethnic, but I expect people
to be loyal to their primary group(nation, usually) & to work towards
the success of all as able.
Your friend,
I believe the same. I treat with great suspicion those who pride themselves on having no national loyalty, or in putting others above their own. They wear that attitude with a mark of pride, but I see it as a bad characteristic, one that that is socially pathological.

While I support my country, I also think it's important to support the prosperity of everyone around the world.
I've also wondered about this if I were to marry someone who is originally f another country, and then move there with them. I'd miss my home, but I'd probably want to support the country I'm living in as well.

You guys are overthinking it.
One has to be loyal to the ones that are loyal to you.
If you make a living working for French customers and the only thing
you get from your country's society is crap, you may as well send your country to hell.

Your friend,
Have we learned that? It seems we are now forgetting all the lessons we have learned from experience, and replacing that knowledge with whatever brainfarts are coming out of the corporate world, TED and critical theory/Political Correctness/Wokeism. That is to say, the cultural norms which encode centuries of trial and error are being thrown up to be
with those thought up by some 22 year old who lived a sheltered life anddid
gender studies and now works in HR.

True, loyalty is a two way street.
If they & Canada went to war, I'd have to abstain & be a conscientious objector.
I think I could move to another country if I married someone, no problem. I feel more at home in some European cities than I do in the centre of my own city. The last time I was in the city centre, I felt like an outsider, being of European background myself. But its not me that has changed, its the city.
The one thing that I've considered is claiming Swiss Citizenship. As my father was born there, I am able to claim citizenship, and maintain dual citizenship. Hmmm, thoughts.

Do it. It won't hurt, and it give you tons of options.
I've been to Zurich and Geneva. Amazing cities and so different
even though they're both Swiss. Zurich is basically German, and
Geneva is so worldly. So expensive thou! I've never paid more
for food then I have in Switzerland. Good food, but a standard
resturant plate of chicken breast, veggies and starch was around
$38. A McDonalds meal for 2 was $30. And they charge for the
ketchup packets.

My wife is of British citizenship, and watching a UK real estate show thought about buying a cottage in a little village when we retire - health care and subsidized university tuition would make a big difference, as my youngest will be entering college when I retire!
She's been here since her 20s, and has family and friends over there -it's about time for her to move back.
<fingers crossed> if the real estate market holds up here, that is.

We took the train from Salzburg to Zurich. Holyshit, it was amazing. 6-hour trip I think. But so beautiful. Then we drove from Zurich to Zermatt. The tunnels get longer and longer as you get closer to the
Alps. The know how to do tunnels there.

When we stayed in Switzerland, we would gorge on the hotel-provided breakfast because the other meals while out and about were so
expensive. I'm afraid we didn't make a very good impression on the
wait staff, ordering so many coffee refills and eating all the
crossants (they had to go across the street to the bakery and get
more).

U.S. nationals, including dual nationals, must use a U.S.
passport to enter and leave the United States. Dual
nationals may also be required by the foreign country to
use its passport to enter and leave that country. Use of
the foreign passport to travel to or from a country other
than the United States is not inconsistent with U.S. law.

Yep.. more paperwork for the person who is travelling. Is it
worth the hassle of having to carry two passports all the time?

I'm an Australian/British dual citizan living in the US. I've applied
for a green card and and will probably end up with 3 citizenships at
some point as I'm not intending to leave the US unless it devolves into civil war between the right wing extremists and the left wing
extremists. Or unless I get a life threatening condition that needs extensive care, then I'll fuck off back to Australia and my national healthcare system, thank you very much.

The United States only recognizes single citizenship, not dual. The advantage of having Swiss citizenship is the additional countries I may travel to and the ability to live in Switzerland if I ever choose.
The benefits of having multiple citizenships is pretty clear, though with Brexit my British passport reduced in value quite a bit.
Now the immigratoin process may be easier between two Commonewealth members (e.g. Aus & Canada), but I believe one still needs to go through the regular aplication/approval process. I looked into going to NZ 20 years ago, but I failed the points assessment. I believe being in Canada gave me some extra pointssd, but not enough to overcome my being single, disabled, & broke. So I sta here, freezing(subjective opinion, as <25C is below my comfort zone) 8 months a year
My wife is a British citizen, and for the same reasons above, we're strongly considering retiring to the English countryside - find a little village, buy a cheap old cottage, and pretend like it's last century.
If you leave the US again, like when that civil war that you mentioned finally breaks out, let me know if you feel like sponsoring somebody to a better locale. Damn economic hardship has been the only thing that's kept me bound in this country. :|

I remember some relatives come from England to Australia, and when we first met them, it was mid 20s. One of the younger ones said "Gee, I
hope is not hot like this all the time in summer".
I just had to laugh. Queenslanders call temperatures in the mid 20s "Jacket weather".

If you work in any kind of profession and have a 4 year degree, it's actuall not super hard to apply for and get a work visa in Australia - which you can then turn into residency after some time. I think experience in your field a counts towards the points system they use there. There's certain professions like nurses, that are in demand, and basically get immediately approved.
Unfortunately, I can't sponsor people lol. Unless we got married. You'd have buy me and the wife dinner, first, though.
