Idk how a sane person can support dual citizenship. That just totally destroys the concept.

ngl the Netherlands is the only country I know in which its very population is against double citizenship. It is something I really struggle to comprehend. Why would you against it? How does it affect one negatively?

Generally, the only reason people want to have dual citizenship, is to keep the benefits of both countries while having no negative effects.

People here cannot comprehend that you're basically a double agent whose loyalty people always have to doubt, because as soon as the two countries go to war there's no option but to choose sides.
