Major cop out.
I don’t hear undocumented people crossing the Mexican border saying I am a global citizen or sovereign individual.
Even Switzerland 🇨🇭 and the Vatican have borders.
Homeowners or landlords have borders too within a county.
District attorneys and law enforcement are bound by borders.
Indeed.
I do like what the reviewer I quoted said about reading arguments for open borders being useful even "if only as an exercise in clarifying one’s own thinking about the question". So I would be interested in looking through (but not buying) Caplan's book.
I was hoping to get something of a thoughtful argument from @DarthCoin too, or at least some attempt at rebutting the points I made but yeah, they skipped out. And this was after spamming the thread in multiple places (not just the comment I replied to) trying to push their "free your mind; borders aren't real" line. Very flaky guru vibes.
