After learning his parentage, would Jon Snow identify himself as a Stark or a Targaryen, if a conflict were to arise between the two?

"All my life I wanted to be Jon Stark."
His soul and spirit belongs to the North. He is a Stark of Winterfell.

"All my life I wanted to be Jon Stark." His soul and spirit belongs to the North. He is a Stark of Winterfell. And then he gave up the opportunity to serve the "realms of men". The leftists who write this story have been making a point of disparaging and dismembering noble families all along. They make Jon Snow and Tyrion their heroes because they are the ones who abandon their family identity for the sake of that stinking "common good" they worship.

"All my life I wanted to be Jon Stark." His soul and spirit belongs to the North. He is a Stark of Winterfell. That was my first thought. Jon is a very thankful person, he is grateful to House Stark, inspite of the mistreatment he got from some members of the House. But then even after considering his parentage, he can never be a Stark. He would probably be some 'Dinosarus' Targaryen (provided that his Dad married Lyanna before Jon's birth, which is very likely). So I can imagine him identifying himself as a Targaryen with heart of a Stark.

I would hope Stark. He spent his life 'being' a Stark, being a Northman. The only monkey wrench I see here is Bran making him see his true parentage and him getting all sappy in regards to his true father. But aside from the 3eyed ravens manipulations, Jon would stay true to what he's always been.

Jon Snow refused the offer not because it was a leftist thing to do but because it was a Stark thing to do. Starks are honourable people, unlike the Lannisters.

So I can imagine him identifying himself as a Targaryen with heart of a Stark. He is not grateful to Starks. He believes that he is a Stark. He had a very deep sisterly love for Arya and a brotherly love for Bran and a close friendship with Robb and he was a fan of his uncle Benjen, who inspired him to become a ranger. He also idolised his 'father'. He frequently had dreams of the crypt in Winterfell. In short, being a king doesn't matter to him. He is a king because his people chose him to be. But he is a Stark because he wants to be.

He would always be a Stark bastard anyway so he wouldn't have to forgo loyalty to them.
His trek is going to be similar to Dany's where he will encompass everyone that wants to help fight the walkers.
That part of his mission isn't going to change since he knows that is the bigger threat no matter what he views himself as.

Something I found amusing was him saying to Daenerys "your father killed my grandfather" little realising that her father was his other grandfather.

Can't answer for Feologild, but I would argue that it doesn't matter to him because first he has to defeat the White Walkers. If he survives that, there really isn't much issue with claiming both parts of his heritage. It's not like there are any surviving people on the Targaryen side who played a part in Robert's Rebellion. He's already okay with being friends with Dany, if she would just drop the knee bending obsession.
