Lotsa contradictions I encounter here, but no time to go over them all in detail today. In a nutshell.: [1] states exist because of nationalism? - californian, andalusian, welsh, bavarian? -isms are ideologies, real constructs / nations are not all -istic. Yes, every polity has its ritual and signs but to have systematic exceptionalism is archaic and barbaric. [2] Sacrifical treatment I do not take for sustainability reasons. If you give more than you take you'll get exhausted. Only the most brutal antihumane regimes like the russian communism and its metastases in form of 'peoples republics' do treat citizens as 'debtors' of state or rather as cattle and as ... consumable. [3] There are only a few countries which have fair laws and real rule of law. In 80% of the countries to be good citizen means to be extremely poor and hungry. Cost/benefit analysis ofc, and that's why ppl change countries / migrate. From times immemorial and forever. ASIDE from the fact that good citizens bad citizen you will not find in any legal text, for being extremely radical anti-humanism. [4] Yes, build community FOR pay back. Even parenthood is not form of parasitism but investment in longer run. Ppl join communities not to sacrifice something for the common good, but to put a little and to take out MORE - all for-loss enterprises are doomed to perish, communities building pays off under the Metcalfe's law, which empirically and intuitively has been felt for millennia. That's why entire countries form unions - not just for the linear economy of scale but for the cumulative exponential beneficial effect. [5] I explained many times that it is not asset, constitutionally, worldwide. It gives you certain access vs certain obligations. What I reduction-ad-absurdum-ed was IMAGINE if it is or was an asset, a tradeable item. Well, I think this would be much fairer arrangement. And by citizenship market index it would be instantly visible how much a country worth. [7] 'shared sacrifice' excuse me but is on the very borderline with 'satanic' or 'sadistic' school of geopolitics.
