    There’s a BIG gap between open borders and “no borders and world in harmony”. The U.S. had relatively open borders with Canada and Mexico, like, 50 years ago.

    Also, why did you believe that borders are intrinsic to humanity? To my knowledge we’ve managed to live without them for the VAST majority of human history

        Being tribal is intrinsic to humanity, but that doesn’t imply borders. Borders are a social construct and product of the state, they aren’t just some natural thing. A coyote doesn’t give a shit about the border, and neither should you. How are you so willing to let others tell you what to do and how to do it?

          I’m not sure being tribal is intrinsic. Merely situationally emergent. … and abused.
