Like who are you to tell me where I can and cannot go on this planet..
Everyone should be free to travel where ever they want on this planet
Just because a huuman claimed land centuries ago decides how we live, it's pretty messed up if you ask me

@stux with everyone free to go anywhere on this planet there would be total anarchy. If you have issues with the concept of country or border you would have issues also with the law that regulate the society enclosed inside those borders.

@stux Or as Donald Trump said about the Canada-US border back when he wanted to annex it: «random lines on a map»

@toriver Away with the lines! No more US or Canada and while we're at it, also dump Trump since no no

@ranx “Everyone free to go anywhere on the planet” worked without issues for literally thousands of years. Why would it be different now?
Administrative boundaries and controlled borders are two different things. You can have one without the other.

@stux @elduvelle The opposite. If the mighty can't lock out people, their might shrinks a lot, and it will be easier to set rights in stone, despite what the mighty want.
@grymt @stux
I guess this assumes that a lot more humans are nice than bad. I would like to believe this, and I think this is how humanity has survived originally - by helping each other, including the weakest members - but I am not fully convinced it is the case.
Or rather, even if there's more nice people overall, they seem to very easily follow dictators, strong-looking leaders that shout loudly but are just really selfish. How do we avoid that from happening in our utopic, border-free world? -

This was exactly the feeling of the Mongols in the 12th and 13th C, perhaps you can use their resulting approach as a model going forward.

@BradRubenstein Difference is.. I don't have to own every single piece of land I come across
We can also enjoy stuff without having to "own" it all I guess

@stux A country is just a garden around your house, but bigger. You probably wouldn't wanna let bad people enter and stay in your garden just like that...

@BradRubenstein Tihi
Hmm.. otherwise it won't be any different from all those before in history

@stux this is what many indigenous peoples always found difficult to believe, that, just by claiming a place where you happen to be, you reduce the rights of anyone who steps there in future.

@Chapz What is "bad people"?

@stux countries are like Pokemon. They are all fantasy, and someone will always tell you theirs is better lacking any proof. Now add religion and money, and we got the holy Trinity of bullshit covered

I deliberately start my post with "personally I..." because it's the way how I think about a certain subject in a given time
As we all know, there is a LOT more to it then just an idea or vision
At this point in time the world is going through a lot of trouble and my idea or vision does not make super much sense, I know
It's just how, I personally again, would like to see the world turn out
Unfort we are not ready for this, if ever
