I don't want a country where a mob can get a large enough petition to strip someone of citizenship on that basis.

Me neither but that's not what's happening. The petition is not the basis for the action. The basis for the petition is the basis for the action, and the petition is a tool to demonstrate public support for the action.

I won't be signing it, though. This will help no one and I'd rather spend our political capital on things that do.

The basis of them actively trying to annex the entire country? I think if there was ever a good reason to remove someone’s citizenship it is because they want to destroy the country AND they have the power to do so.

Then you don't need a petition. And if a petition is the deciding factor, that's shitty as fuck.

There was a situation in Switzerland where the people in the canteen didn’t like this woman so they refused to approve her citizenship.

Approving is not the same as removing.

I remember that. I heard her on a podcast, can't remember the details though.

The details are that the Swiss put bells around cows necks that stress them the fuck out. She campaigned against those, while living there for years. So the locals denied her citizenship to punish her for going against the tradition of animal abuse.
