It's vital to delegitimatize the collectivistic memes of nationalism and "citizenship"
Self-defense is hardly possible when criminal activity (of governmental "officials") is legalized and legitimatized

The Founding Fathers weren't asked for their "papers"; but present day "authorities" would consider them enemies of the State ("terrorists")
Humans owe no allegiance to any "nations"; that would be a form of slavery
The government is this magical place where crimes become legal (and evil becomes good, and ignorance is strength, and freedom is slavery, and war is peace...)

"Anarchism is my statement of intention to mind my own business, and not to interest myself in yours beyond what is welcome, mannerly, and appropriate to our relationship, because I expect the same courtesy from you." C.F.

"Good intentions are no excuse for making prisoners and hostages of people who have less political clout than you do." C.F.
"Anarchism is sincere belief in diversity put to the test in practice, and a guarantee that diversity will thrive." C.F.
