RE: What are borders? Are they allowed?

in #philosophy • 8 years ago

You are confusing your right to build a wall around yourself, with your right to build a wall around all of us and make us pay for it. Anyone has the right to lock themselves up within their own space, they have no right to lock an entire nation.

    I can have a house with me alone, or others. We decide how things function in that house. That is our area, and we make the rules within it.

    I can have a larger area with me alone, or others, and do the same. (not that this happens in a country where we abdicate personal responsibility and give our voices to "re-representatives" to re-present us)

    I said how it works. I don't advocate for statist centralized authority to do it. That's not me confusing it, as I mentioned how it fails as we currently live. That's your confusion for not understanding what I wrote ;) A community can choose to build barriers if it wants, and again, not that this is how we are doing it right now. Thanks for the feedback.

        Hehe, yes I know these issues are controversial. I just wanted to make the case of how rational it is to have borders (or not when appropriate). How that gets implemented, however, is another issues as well hehe ;) Thanks for the feedback.
