One of the trends I’ve noticed from the stories around the 22 Winter Olympics is these two, Chinese “Americans” who openly renounced their US citizenship to compete for China in the Winter Olympics. “Zhu Yi” was born Beverly Zhu and changed her name to be more Chinese. Both were born and raised in raised in California and both threw away their citizenship when it became profitable. This is a prime example of modern “America”. People with no allegiance to the country and who will only act in self interest, even changing allegiance to a country that would have aborted them for being women. American means nothing anymore, there are no longer shared values,culture, or beliefs, and it was all by design.

Why should anyone have allegiance to America? The government doesn't put American citizens first. It openly embraces Globohomo, calls normal people deplorables, sets various ethnic and ideological groups against one another, invites random refugees and immigrants in to dilute the voting pool and culture, sends soldiers to die overseas under false pretenses, and employs intelligence and security agencies to protect corrupt politicians and enforce the rule of Corporatocracy. AND they still make you pay taxes even if you move overseas.
Yes. It is what it is. Engaging in ritual patriotism won't fix it.
