Personally I feel more connected to the Vancouver BC/ Seattle/ Portland corridor than with the rest of the US, so I feel more comfortable saying I’m a Cascadian than an American.

    I am disabled, and a retro computer nerd.

    Because frankly? I haven’t been proud of America since 9/11 and nothing my family or the people around me have said or done have helped me to not feel shame.

      The country of “Disabled Retro Computer Nerd Land” sounds rad as hell, (the DRCN for short)

    I’m a special snowflake and I don’t really identify with people in any particular area. Though I guess I do know my tribe when I meet them. But we don’t really have a name. Intellectual hippies maybe.

    If I had to pick one then probably my neighborhood is how I would identify.

    I am European (but currently living in Asia). I don’t identify with my country of birth. However, I do feel connected to the Franco-Alemannic culture space that I grew up in. The languages, literature, arts and crafts, architecture, food, music etc. are way more important to me than the colour of my passport or the madhouse that is politics.

    I am a Californian. My flag is the flag of the California Republic.

    Unfortunately, my state sees fit to subsidize a bunch of conservative states that otherwise would have failed already.

      As someone in one of those States.

      Cut us off. There won’t be change until these people hurt and right now they view California as something they are subsidizing and not the other way round.

    My primary identity is Dravidian, and more specifically, Tamilian. Rather than Indian.

    Though I’m from the Netherlands, my father had been living in France for fifteen years now (and we spent ten years in that area renovating the house).

    So I consider France to be my second fatherland.

    I feel connected to my city, my region, the EU and Germany in that order. Which is how it’s supposed to be I guess, except that EU and Germany are swapped for some facist reasons

    Both? So the best way to put it is I identify with my hometown and my state, identify less with my nation without totally “not” identifying with it, and identify most strongly with the land I came from before then.

      a citizen of earth?

      I like to think of this as being just Human. Being Human transcend a lot of ideals and beliefs.

    I don’t identify with either my country of birth (where I lived until I was 19) or the country I currently reside in. Of course I have a strong influence from both, especially where I grew up, and I find it’s easier for me to understand the culture there but that doesn’t mean I resonate or identify with it.

    I’ve lived in 5 different regions of the country. I definitely feel like I’m an ‘American’

    I feel a deep connection to the place I was born. I have heritage here.

    In my 20s I moved around a lot, lived in other states, other countries.

    I identify mostly with my country (Brazil). I honestly identify more with a somewhat local football team (soccer team, for the americans) than with my state lol.
