I’ve said it before, but let’s make if “official”.
I hereby declare my sovereignty from all governments, all nations and all laws. I am not a croatian. I am not european.
I am an inhabitant of the Planet Earth and this is its flag.
Mind you I can make my own flag if I want to. I can stand by multiple flags of my own making or my own choosing, but none of the national ones. None!
I wont even call myself a “citizen” because that might imply someone has to grant me “citizenship”. I live on Earth so I am an inhabitant, nothing more, nothing less. You could say that I live in Croatia and am therefore an inhabitant of croatia, but I’ll take that as meaning that you call this general area to be “croatia”, but borders don’t matter.
Do I have the right to make these kinds of proclamations? Well, do I own myself? Yes. If you believe otherwise, prove it!
Thank you.

Yesterday I found myself at a baseball game.
I remained seated through the “national anthem”, because like you I object to being “nationalized”.
It was nice that no one noticed, or cared if they did.
Self ownership is embodied in the right to say “No!”

Indeed! That’s very cool. I also wasn’t aware most of this day that today is croatian “Statehood Day” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statehood_Day_(Croatia) ). My sister reminded me of it in the evening.
Cheers

I understand where you’re coming from. In a future blog post, I will explain my own philosophy (and how it is subject to change with time and availability of new information).

[...] this choice is all the more fitting in the context of where I stand today, as an Earth inhabitant and a voluntaryist. The way I see it, freedom is a worldwide issue. It is not like it matters more [...]
