Will you collect a retirement pension or something from Japan?  Besides the obvious stuff what are the benefits for having a dual citizenship 

also thank you for not rubbing his nose in it at the time. I know that had to be hard cuz his denial was so strong

Hahahahahaha yeah Canada!!!

They fucking hate the black people that live there by a small margin but it’s okay because someone on Twitter told Icarus that that’s where the non Trumpo doodie heads live.

Idk the Facebook Canadians seem pretty cool with MAGA 😬

I haven't thought about retirement. I never worked in Japan, so I don't believe I am eligible for their version of social security. Neither the US or Japan technically recognizes dual citizenship. However, I was born into a loophole, and both citizenships are my birthright. I was never naturalized like a foreigner immigrating to America would be. So being in this position, of course I'm gonna keep my dual citizenship status for the rest of my life.

Retiring in Japan seems like a nice idea, to be honest. I dunno yet. Really, the main benefit is the power of Japanese citizenship, if I ever want to immigrate to another country. America has quite a few adversaries these days.

I let my American passport expire . . . but when I need to travel, yes I have two.

I just don't have the financial means and have certain obligations right now. Plus, Okinawa, where my family is, may be placed under martial law for who knows how long if China invades Taiwan, as that's where the majority of American naval bases are located. Supposedly, Trump is inviting Xi Jinping to inauguration. 😩

I got so many questions that are none of my business 😬😆🫠

Okinawa, everything I know about there I learned from Mr Miyagi in the Karate Kid
