Citizenship Is Becoming More of a Privilege Than a Right

I agree with the flagged and dead comment by @anovikov.

Everyone has human rights no matter where they are or are from. Everyone living in accordance with local laws have the protections and freedoms as all persons. Citizenship however? The right to vote! The right to decide! The right to impose one’s cloistered views upon others? May this right be given by some rudimentary process of merit, such as civic service or application (demonstrating competent working knowledge of democracy and governance.)

Everyone has the right to their own hide, who can truly be said to have a stake in the civic order who has not served or worked to comprehend that order?

Note: This is a critique of default citizenship not the linked article specifically.

Isn't it lovely how people dare to throw out democracy (demos=common people => rule by the people) in the inverted name of democracy!? That's democrazy (crazy=insane) at best, negating the whole concept and trying to turn the common world into a prison.
