> There is more to citizenship than holding passport you haven't used in thirty years.

Apply that line of thinking the other way around ("There is more to US citizenship than holding a passport"). Its horrible by implication.

I'd prefer if nationality was being seen as bureaucratic artifact and not having more meanings attributed to it.

We'd all prefer a world without war too, but if nationality was just a bureaucratic artefact, who'd be left to defend Ukraine?

Is your country worth fighting and dying for? I doubt it. Neither is Ukraine nor Russia.
