Orphanhood and supermobility in politics

Nothing in human life is worse than
having no sovereign state to belong to

In the context of politics, orphanhood is a condition in which adverse elements or entities deprive someone of their home polity (can be intentional community, private city, or township) while the subject, called the orphan is still developing. Within general usage, the word orphanhood conveys adversaries concluding people whose direct beneficiaries are still developing. Meanwhile, supermobility is a condition in which the subject, the supermobile, is completely unaffiliated with nonstandard political entities, thus subject only to the sovereign state. Supermobility is the default state upon entry to the human world. Also, as the sovereign state is considered necessary for the basics of modern human life, affiliation evaluations virtually never include such a ubiquitous institution.

The beholder's institutional context determines whether someone or something is an orphan or a supermobile. Let's take the example of an adolescent who has no known or recognized parents and has never "joined" nonstandard polities. From a personal development perspective, that adolescent is an orphan because parents are considered mandatory for the subject beneficiary's development. From a political perspective, the same adolescent is a supermobile because they have developed purely and directly under the jurisdiction of the sovereign state.

Let's take another example, this time, a traveler who made friends with the residents but then, on the traveler's first month of stay, they were evicted together from their private city, by the destruction of that private city. From a social worker's perspective, that subject is not an orphan because their parents are living elsewhere in the same sovereign state. From the perspective of private city enthusiasts, that same subject is an orphan because one month is too short for the subject to thrive within that private city. What makes the traveler an orphan is that their close friends grew up in the private city and then they now have to adopt to a life without the sense of family provided by their former home. However, the sovereign state itself might view the traveler and their friends as supermobiles because they have no other nonstandard polity.

Statelessness

A more extreme form of orphanhood or supermobility is something called statelessness, a condition in which someone has no sovereign state to call their home country. Here, what matters is the sense of volition. When it is coerced, by chance, or otherwise involuntary, it is orphanhood. Meanwhile, voluntary statelessness is a form of supermobility. Zomia refers to part of mainland Southeast Asia full of highland cultures that choose to remain stateless (and illiterate) to avoid state orders, as the seats of government only control the lowlands.

Meanwhile, the Philippines, a Southeast Asian country, has comprehensive programs to ensure that everyone in its territory belongs to a sovereign state; it is called the National Action Plan to End Statelessness. In fact, the Philippine government has a dedicated agency under the Department of Justice (DOJ), called the Refugees and Stateless Persons Protection Unit (RSPPU). The Philippine government considers all statelessness undesirable, due to knowledge of the nature of refugees and the stateless. Also take note that no stateless person in Philippine soil has ever expressed desire to remain stateless; all have adverse experiences that no citizen could ever comprehend.
