The ownership of physical property, including jointly-held property defined topographically and geographically (as with a nation and its borders), is a natural right.
Humans need a place to live. We aren't digital. You can't just store us in the cloud. And we don't all want to wander around like nomads.
You are totally right. It defnitly is a fundamental right to have the right to belong to a place. I just want to encourage, that nationality is only one part of identity. And even one we can choose not to addvertise, when one does not want to.
I want to emphasize, that nationality is no objective truth. It is a cultural good, that can change. Before 300 years there were no nations on earth. So it is by no way fixed that these institutions will survive for long.
Well, nationality arose to get away from kingdoms and tribal lands. It was actually a move away from race-based territorial control, and toward abstract property licensing, so removing it would cause us to resegregate.
People were only free to move house, alone, because they no longer needed their tribe to define and protect their property. They could just buy the deed to a house wherever and go live in it.
I find that we are losing this national abstraction and everyone is self-sorting, to be around their own "kind". National identity was good for people like me, whose identity isn't easily quantifiable.
Identity is collapsing inward.
