The phrase "global citizen" is a term of linguistic newspeak that belongs in the same graveyard as "DEI" and "trigger warning".
It's a collateral damage of WEF's globalist agenda.
Yet the citizenship industry keeps selling the illusion of a “global citizen”—an endless list of buzzwords about inclusion and diversity.
The firms pushing this narrative are the same ones that treat citizenship investments as a transaction, rather than as the deepest bond between citizen and nation—but they hide it behind polished language that tells clients what they want to hear, not what they need to know.
Real international sovereignty is local and deeply specific.
This industry talks a big talk about "global mobility solutions".
But nobody actually wants to be a global citizen. That's consultant-speak for "I don't care about anywhere."
What people want is to return to bases and places again and again — ideally with a portfolio of passports that permanently represent the set of rights and the ability to participate in local cultures around the world.
When clients come to us talking about becoming "global citizens," we tell them straight: That's not what we offer.
You want to be a regular at local communities in four different countries.
You want multiple groups of friends who forget your place of birth.
You want to complain about local politics like a native.
You want to do business, properly.
And you want to live in places on a real, local passport.
Traditional citizenship firms sell paper credentials. They promise seamless "global mobility."
Mobility is liquidity. But mobility without locality is just tourism with better documentation.
The truth?
You will not visit the 156 countries that your passport allows you to travel visa-free.
That's why people don’t really care about global mobility.
They care about a handful of destinations that are important to them.
And they want real presence—the kind that comes with having skin in the game.
The weight of owning assets in multiple regions and knowing exactly who to call when something needs to get done.
The depth of structuring investments across jurisdictions, not just to optimize taxes, but to actually build something upon shared-values. Something that lasts across generations.
The credibility of walking into a room and being introduced as someone who is invested in the country, not just someone passing through.
The familiarity of being just local enough in multiple places to complain about new property laws cutting into yields or the boutique hotel ruining your quiet street.
Real citizenship isn’t about floating above it all—it’s about being anchored where it counts.
The opposite of "global citizen" isn't "local citizen"—it's CitizenX.
Multiple passports are the root layer of real, local citizenship in multiple countries.
The abstract idea of considering oneself a 'global citizen' is merely a formless, meaningless phrase in an echo chamber compared to the true value of real citizenship.
