How to Dehumanise a Triple National

Moving a lot from one country to another or being a "nomad" can be a strength, not a weakness, as it improves a sense of perspective and (multi)cultural awareness

According to this official page last updated 5 hours ago, Daniel Pocock is based in his birthplace, Australia.

Daniel Pocock address in Australia

Pocock is not an American and was never American, even if he travelled to America to give an interesting talk two summers ago. His locality does not prevent him from filing lawsuits in America.

This morning Pocock is mentioned in The Independent (UK) and several local publishers. He's in the news almost every day because of his political campaign in the UK. He focuses on technology issues and cautions against cults.

Daniel Pocock has three nationalities (Irish, Swiss, and Australian of course) and he may be changing addresses because he has political campaigns in the UK. Previously he ran in EU elections (he's eligible, he's Irish) and Irish elections. We assume he can also run for an election in Switzerland (not EU), not just in Australia.

He's an internationalist and a Francophone too.

What he calls a "cult" and "Debianism" (like a religion) is trying to detract and distract for the reasons that he explained around midday (or 2:30PM) today. To quote: "In most communities, if a participant runs for public office, other participants have a discussion about how to support them. In the cult of Debianism, we see the polar opposite. The overlords develop a rash and they try to tear down anybody who speaks in public as an independent adult. Members of a cult are expected to behave like wives or children and remain silent until given permission to speak."

Don't be easily incited against those who sacrifice a lot to inform the public of suppressed topics.
