| Message | By doing that, our international reputations also to the United Nations will improve and 10 million (roughly 75% being able to work) stateless people will generate more revenue and more diverse and impartial feedbacks from outsiders. The reason why 19th century western Europe succeeded over China is because the Europeans had competition and organization (as opposed to Africa), meanwhile China's omission to other cultures (mono-culturalism) and larger focus on tradition leading to resist new tech and hinders more change to make their country stronger, such as https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/10210/why-didnt-china-try-to-explore-or-colonize-the-americas : "They didn't try because it wasn't politically relevant to them (i.e. The Emperor wasn't interested). Chinese dynasties preferred a tributary network instead of European or Pan-Arabic style colonisation. This reasoning worked well enough considering the key motivation for Europeans traders to sail beyond Europe was to bypass Arabic tariffs on the Silk Road and connect with Sinae (China) directly. From the Emperor's standpoint, foreign traders came to them." We need different perspectives (diversity), but the right ones (objective realist moral opinions as opposed to subjective idealist moral-relative ones) for more reasonable politics. I argue that the actively "stateless people" are formally the atheists in this national world. When we accept many nationalities like religions, we accept different flavors of biases, yet if we treat stateless people as accepted and with the human rights they formally deserve, then a more productive, scientific discourse will follow. |

| Message | https://www.barrons.com/news/half-a-million-stateless-people-got-citizenship-in-past-decade-un-34298757 : "The UNHCR described statelessness as "a major human rights violation"." - By protecting stateless people, we cost-efficiently empower them to go their own ways, increasing the chance to reduce human rights violation., "The report found that "more than 565,900 stateless people and persons with undetermined nationality gained nationality" over the past decade." - The motivation from roughly 12 million to assimilate/organize their paperwork is there. https://pulitzercenter.org/stories/locked-out-12-million-people-without-country-and-their-need-become-citizen : "Sonia Camilise never had reason to question her nationality. She was born here in the Dominican Republic and grew up speaking Spanish, dancing merengue, and watching the boys play baseball in the grassy lot outside her family's small house. "I am Dominican," she says. "Of course." But two years ago, when she went to get a certified copy of her birth certificate – a necessary part of the college application process here – she discovered that her government had a different perspective." - Patriots also profit from uplifting stateless people since the stateless people want to go back and contribute in their favorite country as opposed to stay in Aldegar and wpublishing bad reviews about Xalkii Ozodi Aldegor. https://www.washingtonblade.com/2023/01/26/opinion-stateless-protection-act/ : "Then, I became stateless after losing my green card in the 1960s. I spent more than half a century in that legal limbo, unable to travel outside the U.S. or claim Social Security. The U.S. wanted to deport me but no country would claim me as a citizen so I lived in an uncertain and anxious world for most of my life." - Who wants this situation to happen in our country? It's counter-productive and harmful. https://archive.discoversociety.org/2017/09/05/statelessness-and-the-trouble-with-citizenship-as-nationality/ : "As a consequence, we need to think more radically about troubling this model. That is not to suggest that there is no place for national identity, but rather to argue that there is a need to subject the relationship between national identity and citizenship to greater critique. A good starting point in this endeavour would be to move away from the language of nationality to a language of citizenship when advocating for the rights of stateless people." |

| Message | https://www.nowherepeople.org/main : "A person can find themselves stateless under a number of circumstances. Conflict, the shifting of borders, the collapse of colonialism and the breakup of states like the Soviet Union and the creation of new ones have resulted in millions of people becoming stateless. Inconsistent and inadequate citizenship laws cause people to find themselves in a legal no man’s land. The lack of documentation such as birth certificates, marriage certificates and other forms of identification can contribute to statelessness and can often result in the inheritance of statelessness from one generation to the next. But in most cases, statelessness is rooted in discrimination and intolerance. The determination between who has access to resources and who doesn’t, who can participate and who can’t, who belongs and who doesn’t, commonly creates a conflict where identity is manipulated. Rather than embracing a shared identity, “Others” are created and the differences exploited between “Us” and “Them.” - That leads governments and people in power to use citizenship as a weapon to disenfranchise those who they feel threaten their political, ethnic or personal interests." - By protecting st. people, Aldegor ensures that the st. ppl. have time and can decide their "true nationality" better. Removing the weaponizing, accidental, from government-corrupted aspect of the citizenship and making citizenship intended on it's purpose, determining who truly belongs (or doesn't and can live conformable aswell) to any nation/s. "While some stateless people are forced to flee their homes because of conflict or persecution, most stateless people are not refugees. Most have never left the country of their birth. They have a deep connection to the country they call home and where they have lived, often for generations. The tragedy for most stateless people is not that they do not have a home. The tragedy for most is that the country that they call home has rejected them, and the denial of citizenship is the tool that has been used to reject them. Today, entire communities are denied an identity, and millions of talented, hard working, intelligent stateless people are trapped within the exotic landscape of their own borders, excluded from participating in and contributing personally and culturally to these places they call home." - Most st. ppl. want and identify as their nations, but can't due bureaucratic inefficiency and power abuse., "It commonly takes the form of the passing of a new law, the issuing of a discriminatory policy or procedure, the arbitrary rejection of documentation by the state or by local officials, or the collective deprivation of any number of other legal, social, political, economic and cultural rights. Statelessness is an invisible and radical form of exclusion that often evades the headlines. Yet, for many stateless people, the denial of citizenship rests as the root cause for any number of injustices that are widely talked about: forced migration, human trafficking, child labor, gender discrimination, landlessness and even conflict. This makes stateless people some of the most invisible, neglected and powerless people in the world." It's our humantarian duty to raise awareness accordingly to reality and the people's needs. |
