Get ready, this is going to be a tad less smooth and pretty, and a lot less gentle than some other stuff I write. And so should it be.
Here are 7 reasons I'm not for "closed borders"
(a euphemistic phrase which means: using the threat of deadly force to STOP people from moving from one patch of dirt to another patch):
*
1. I'm not an authoritarian collectivist who thinks an entire 3.8 million square miles of land is "mine", nor do I think an entire neighborhood block is "mine", nor do I think anything other than my body and the fruits of my labor, and my immediate property I live on are mine.
2. I defend against DIRECT, real, threats of force that happen directly TO ME.
4. I DO NOT think I need to defend against random individuals who I don't even know yet specifically, nor do I think I should go stand at a line in the dirt and use force to stop every single person who "looks like" whoever I think MIGHT someday try to harm me from moving from one patch of land to another.
5. I live in reality, where I wake up every day, and no one is aggressing against me, almost ever, EXCEPT where I run into the government itself, which IS the real enemy, as it impedes my movement by force, and uses force to make sure I pull over and stop what I'm doing in the middle of my day.
6. In the everyday reality I live in, I can plainly see the enemy for who they are--the aggressor is the one using actual force on me, and other slaves trying to move from their plantation to MINE do NOT deserve to be harassed, caged, or stopped, simply because they like the plantation I am on better than theirs. Nor do I believe I get to use force to stop them from moving over to 'relatively close by to me' simply because the Massuh might 'give them' some of the 'rewards' for being 'good' that the Massuh 'allows me'. I understand that iniating deadly force against another victim of the state because the master on this patch of dirt might give him some of what that master stole from EVERYONE on the plantation, is just as immoral as what the Master does.
7. My problem is the fucking masters, not the other slaves, and FEAR of other slaves and what they MIGHT DO, does not make it moral for me to join my Master OR CHEER HIM ON in using deadly force to stop other slaves from coming to the plantation I live on.
FUCK all "borders", fuck all WALLS around entire land masses backed by the guns of a ruling class; all humans are born with the right to be free.
Using FEAR of what some humans from some belief system MIGHT choose to do with their freedom as a REASON to use deadly force against A BUNCH OF STRANGERS I DO NOT KNOW, is called
VIOLATING FREE WILL, and IT IS WRONG.
You are NOT about freedom if you support FORCING a bunch of humans you do not know away from an entire half of a continent because a few of them might someday hurt someone.

Anyone in LIFE might someday hurt you. If it's about what some might someday do, you can justify slaughtering everyone else but yourself.
