What do you mean?
@mewmew
Ok. Yeah, while it's not something I think about much, I can agree it's not an idea I enjoy.
I guess I understand why it happens. Plenty of countries would naturally have animosity towards one another, and this would serve as a means of protecting themselves. Probably not a very effective one...
I don't want to give up voting privileges in the USA, lol.
But seriously out of all the countries I've looked at I haven't found many that don't require it.
@mewmew
I've never analyzed the situation as I was never put in a situation where I actually considered getting another citizenship.
>I haven't found many that don't require it
Well, how many countries are there that don't have another nation as an enemy in some way?
Can't say I can guess all the reasons why these things are in place, but I'm guessing at the very least they're hoping to deter spies infiltrating the nation for long periods of time. Consider how paranoid (and sometimes legitimately so) even the Americans are about Russian, Chinese, etc. spies.
@mewmew
I'm guessing the idea would be that if you renounce your previous citizenship, it would be harder to escape to your own country in case of detection, and they could more easily trial and jail you in the country you were spying on.
>I don't like the blanket law.
I'm guessing at some point all countries got used to the practice and made it a common thing without really analyzing it. Maybe it basically acts like a tradition.
>collect citizenships
Gotta catch 'em all!
Sadly, I cannot rewrite my life like that.
I wanna collect citizenships
