Kid thinks disagreeing with government about what is in your self interest makes a person a traitor ... so Kid was a traitor during the Obama administration?

So, in case of Hitler germany you would side with people faithful to the Nazi-government and not with people who work against said government (like the sisters Scholl, or the conspirators around Stauffenberg)...
and in case of North Korea you also are on the side who stand firm on the side of their government and not on the side of those who work against it (or try to flee)

So you admit to being a traitor. Nice.
I'm not an authoritarian. I never said anything like that. I merely said that treason is bad. You call that being authoritarian LOL.
You can still be loyal to your own principles and be loyal to your nation. It's not either or. You simply refuse to harm your own nation by siding with foreigners over it.

As for loyalty, it is a different topic than self determination. Those who put loyalty to nation over all else and claim those who disagree are traitors are by definition fascists. You are a fascist.
My own loyalty is to my ideals and family. A government should be loyal to it’s citizens, not the other way around.

The people of a nation share a common interest that other people don't share. If that doesn't apply to you maybe you are a traitor.
Basically you're saying, "what about people that are loyal to another nation besides their own?"

Everything else is subordinate to that. The laws shall be written in Britain, passed by elected representatives of the British people, those representatives shall be elected by the British people, and those laws shall be reviewed by British courts and British courts alone. That is self determination and we shall have it again.

That area is affordable but colder than any where in the UK including the shetland islands. Are you willing to put up with that kind of cold? We are talking continental type cold.
I am from North America and I will not do it. I need pleasant coastal breezes and a Mediterranean type climate.

Sep 21, 2017Self-determination
All peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development. UNPO's Members are indigenous peoples, minorities, unrecognised States and occupied territories that have joined together to promote their right to self-determination, while also defending their political, social and cultural rights and preserving their environments.
What is Self-determination?
Essentially, the right to self-determination is the right of a people to determine its own destiny. In particular, the principle allows a people to choose its own political status and to determine its own form of economic, cultural and social development. Exercise of this right can result in a variety of different outcomes ranging from political independence through to full integration within a state. The importance lies in the right of choice, so that the outcome of a people's choice should not affect the existence of the right to make a choice. In practice, however, the possible outcome of an exercise of self-determination will often determine the attitude of governments towards the actual claim by a people or nation. Thus, while claims to cultural autonomy may be more readily recognized by states, claims to independence are more likely to be rejected by them. Nevertheless, the right to self-determination is recognized in international law as a right of process (not of outcome) belonging to peoples and not to states or governments.
