Here in America there's no such thing as a singular sovereign culture. The entire concept is irrelevant, or fantasized at best, and provides the stage for the divisiveness that has been growing since the birth of the nation; specifically from its very beginnings when its ratified Constitution clearly did not consider inclusive certain enslaved and native north American cultures within the shortsightedness of the pens that signed it. So, our problem is the lack of a collective consciousness where, despite much bravado and showboating, patriotism never had a real pulse or place to call home. I think this is a germ the ever-growing American tourism is infecting traditionally sovereign nations with, the EU notwithstanding, and causing them certain cultural disenchantment. In the face of this realization, many Americans are returning to the roots of their lineage and reclaiming citizenship in their respective countries of family origins. My own family is returning to Italy and renouncing America. It isn't just the notion that America has become smug with a contrived righteousness, it's also a fact that it is pricing its succeeding generations out of a living standard above the poverty level. In other words, I'm moving my sons to a place where they can comfortably enjoy their lives. I do realize that I'll be part of the dilution of the culture of a traditionally sovereign nation, but becoming a nomad is becoming a forced reality for people who need to take advantage of it to better their situations.
