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.
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.
A moment where the anywheres worldview or an anywheres person visibly misfires — usually when their cosmopolitan assumptions crash into the reality of people who don't share them. Classic anywheres fails include: confidently explaining to a northern deindustrialised town why globalisation is net positive, suggesting 'just move somewhere with better jobs,' or assuming that everyone can and should want the mobile, rootless lifestyle. Online, it's used to highlight the blind spots of liberal elites who've genuinely lost the ability to read the room of people with deep local roots.
The most extreme, undeniable, almost cartoonish expression of the anywheres worldview — the moment when someone's cosmopolitan detachment from place reaches a level so complete it becomes its own kind of spectacle. Peak anywheres is when an Oxford-educated commentator explains with complete sincerity that nationalism is just 'a category error,' or when a tech executive refers to their home country as 'the jurisdiction I'm currently tax-resident in.' It's not malicious; it's the natural endpoint of a worldview where everywhere is home and nowhere is sacred.
Describing your home city as 'a hub I used to be based out of' — that's peak anywheres, and nobody's coming back from it.
