anywheres mode

The particular vibe someone gives off when they're fully operating from the anywheres mindset — effortlessly at home in any city, mildly bewildered by strong local identity, defaulting to English in any country, and carrying a kind of breezy confidence that the world is essentially one big open-plan office. Anywheres energy is not malicious; it's more like an innocent blindness — the energy of someone who has never needed a sense of place because credentials and networks have always been their actual home. Often noted with wry affection or mild irritation.

A quick mental audit of whether a person, policy, or vibe aligns with the rootless, mobile, cosmopolitan worldview of the anywheres — those who feel at home everywhere and attached nowhere in particular. Running an anywheres check means asking: does this person prioritise global credentials over local roots? Do they see national identity as cringe and frequent-flyer status as personality? Often deployed ironically online to call out out-of-touch liberal elites who genuinely believe a world without borders is just obviously correct for everyone.

Having fully absorbed and internalised the anywheres worldview — the belief that open borders, global mobility, and cosmopolitan identity are self-evidently good, and that attachment to a specific place is either nostalgia or parochialism. Someone who's anywheres-pilled doesn't just live a mobile life; they've adopted the ideology behind it, viewing local patriotism with polite bafflement and treating every city as interchangeable backdrop. Used neutrally to describe the genuinely converted, or sarcastically by those who think the ideology papers over real economic and social fractures.
