think the key thing is, as anarchists, we are part of something that is bigger than our "nationality" (such as it is) and our tradition informs us that nationalism is shit, that it is a way of getting a bunch of people to march to some authoritarian drum, to ultimately anti-human ends.
The thing is, nationality just kind of doesn't matter. You have the one you've got, and if you're not happy about it, it'll probably be roughly as challenging and expensive to change it - in your own eyes, in the eyes of the state, in the eyes of any average stranger - as it is to change your gender. People do it, people even broadly succeed, but given that it's sort of made-up bullshit and a distraction from the good stuff in life, the more interesting questions are definitely about how to render nationality or gender as irrelevant and socially inconsequential as possible. (And the more interesting answers to those questions are latter-day illegalist in character)
