Americans posting memes against American Imperialism, while simultaneously having an American-Centric worldview about the world in regards to citizenship.
Ironic.

tbh I had no idea Europe was so racist. Citizenship based on "blood" sounds like something out of the middle ages.
It's a good era in which to not have children. Expect a lot of forsaken children.
Also expect some coerced birthing programs such as the Leibensborn program (which was also an excuse to recruit young women as sex slaves for the Schutzstaffel ) and the offspring were supported by the state and raised by the single mothers.
This is the program that inspired the Handmaid program in Margaret Atwood's Gilead, in A Handmaid's Tale
And J. D. Vance is super thirsty for it, as is countless other Freedom caucus and MAGA Republican officials.
ETA That said, it might be a good time to get sterilized and commit to not having kids. (That doesn't mean you won't have chances to parent)
Uh, very few countries have birthright only citizenship.
Here's the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli#Unrestricted_jus_soli
If I'm counting correctly, 34 countries with unrestricted birthright citizenship, and 40 with restricted.
Well your kid won't get citizenship, but you'll be able to afford to birth them.
Is birth citizenship that common? Won't work here in Germany for example...
Literally zero European countries do it. It seems to be in the Americas only, and Chad and Tanzania. The concept that this is some human right apparently only applies to he US.
Yeah that's because we had a whole thing of people claiming that people born enslaved weren't citizens or eligible to vote
I'm curious what the difference between how America went about giving slaves citizenship versus countries in Europe. There's the obvious difference of birthright that's an issue today, just curious why America ended up here and Europe did not.
None in Europe
Doesn't work in most countries. Being stateless isn't very fun.
US citizenship comes from the mother, if born abroad. The baby would automatically be a US citizen, possibly have dual citizenship.
Most countries don't have birthright citizenship.
Yes, Iβm just saying that the baby of a US woman would not be a stateless person if born in a country that doesnβt have it.

This only works if you go to the green countries:
Edit: Source
It's pretty telling about how much Americans know about other countries that the assumption is that Jus Soli is the norm.
What if I go to the gray countries? Do I despawn?
You can't go there until the next expansion.
They have deathright citizenship. You automatically become a citizen if you die in their territory.
Green: unlimited birthright citizenship Red: Limited birthright Citizenship Gray: (At least from my own country, Switzerland): No birthright citizenship

Hah! Good luck finding one
Which is really only used in the americas. Europe/Asia doesnβt use it, except in specific circumstances where the child wouldnβt be eligible for citizenship elsewhere. But even that is only due to treaties set up to prevent stateless people. If the child would have citizenship elsewhere (like in America), the European/asian country would tell them to apply there instead.
Also airlines won't let a pregnant woman travel at that point
A quick internet search suggests 36 weeks (eight months), which is well into the third trimester, is the most common start of restrictions, and many airlines will accept a doctor's note the woman is low risk even past that. It was a 2008 election blip when the media got ahold of Sarah Palin flying while in labor because she wanted her special-needs baby delivered by the medical team that had prepared for him, which suggests even the written restrictions in airline policy are not consistently enforced.

Haha, that's not how it works outside the US.
TIL the rest of the Americas don't exist
Name a non-US country in the Americas that is not
- Are already closer to fascism than the US
- Currently threatened by the US
- Poverty stricken and lacking basic infrastructure (electricity, plumbing, internet) to a majority of the country.
