4. But if you're a citizen, you can pretty much always get a passport from your country of citizenship, right?
No, not at all.
As any real immigration or citizenship practitioner knows, there are millions of people around the world who cannot get a passport for one reason or another (passport attack vectors). 👇

6. So you're saying citizenship is what matters, not the passport?
No, I'm not saying that. Passports are very important for global mobility and residency, too.
Unfortunately, due to our modern nation-state system, people need passports (or a substitute) in order to cross borders without enormous difficulty.
A sovereign individual type needs multiple citizenships AND their corresponding multiple passports.

Clarity of Thought, Economy of Expression
Passports are simply not citizenships.
As the global interest in multiple citizenship and freedom of movement is spiking, it's time to bin this ridiculous misnomer that's grown legs and run all around the world.
Let's call a citizenship a citizenship, and a passport a passport.
