Nationalism is such a joke! Old rich men sending young poor men to kill each other, to protect their wealth and power. Us pirates have much more in common than a Russian citizen and his idiot president or me and my millionaire chancellor.
Seriously. All these statists favoring sending mlions to die in trenches(return to tradition?) over killing a few billionaire shit heads and maybe just erasing the borders are the problem.
Do you think that that dissolving borders is really possible? On a utopian level I want to believe, but sometimes I feel like mutual dependence might be the best we got.
I think it eont be quite as utopian as you think, but we need to cut the frivoloys bullshit if were going to survive the mess we’ve made for ourselves.
The purpose of borders really only serves oligarchs and oyher exploiters. It does nothing good for you, nothing good for me.
We might have natural borders like oceans, or single purpose border-like things (like quarantines or ‘no dirt crosses this line, please take off your shoes and put em in this bag til you leave the island.’) that would come and go as needed, but generally; fuck em.
Just need to get rid of the oligarchs. Which we need to do to survive as a species anyway.
Pardom me if I am wrong but wouldn’t you still get borders in the form of economic areas that have specific needs. Which would then result in area specific culture and governance, eventually just resulting in borders again at an eventual conflict with the neigbouring zone? I know that I am making some jumps here, but that is sort of what human history feels like.
Isn’t it the whole reason why republicans go batshit insane against critical race theory? That the racism stems from deliberate attempts to divide people for political gain and it’s been studied that racism isn’t a naturally occurring phenomena?

P.S.
All for getting rid of the oligarchy btw
Yeah the border between san francisco and fresno is pretty brutal.
The one between hollywood and east LA is also gruesomely fortified.
If bigotry and violence was just old men we’d have it a lot easier
