#1 As your predecessor said "O Tempora! O mores!

Not too long before they killed him.

#2 I expect in the next Constitution, Article I will be Citizens and Others. We'll all be born residents, citizenship will be earned by exam, taking of oath of loyalty, and registration with the militia with the fundamental right to own and bear arms. Only citizens may vote or hold elected or appointed governmental positions.

#5 ...only you don't have to 'serve' just enroll. It's called 'skin in the game'. Of course, if you are called upon and refuse, you're shipped back to resident status (or convicted of commission of high crimes). When you are release from the militia, usually age 45 you return to resident status as well, unless you have the equivalent of a DD-214 with an original discharge status of general or honorable service. Those keep it for life unless they commit one of those high crimes thingies.

#6 Kind of ironic that the assault on citizenship is coming from the left.

Citizenship is the foundation of a democratic republic and the antidote to slavery, to monarchy, to oligarchy.

Citizenship is what the civil rights movement was all about.

Today's woke morons have no understanding of citizenship, civil rights or republican or democratic values. They're just stooges for oligarchs.

#7 For the left, it's always been about distributing the fruits of one group's efforts to an undeserving, but malleable second group.

Only now, it's not solely about property, but the patrimony itself.
