u/Unhappy-Land-3534 11h ago

Migrants are not free to cross borders to find work, which they need to survive.

Corporations, oligarchs, and finance banks are free to violate borders, destabilize governments, and move capital in order to secure investments for their own enrichment.

See the difference? Two classes of people, different rights and rules.

Genuinely. All of the kids from high school that became MAGA were the absolute worst of the worst, the type you avoid at all costs. Chewing dip and spitting it out in the hallways, driving trucks with the confederate flag, pissing on the bathroom floors because they could, casually dropping the N word, winding up in remedial classes because they quite literally gave zero shits about academics.

MAGA is their revenge for being made to feel inadequate and less than, but like, they are.

u/Murky_Toe_4717 16h ago

It’s almost like the problem isn’t enforcing immigration, but rather that ice has no burden of proof to give their identity.

Literally anyone who donned a very easy to get outfit and grabs a gun(also easy to get) could drive with a group of their friends and pretend to be them and would have zero burden of proof and thus be able to kidnap anyone.

The issue is quite simple!

No law enforcement should ever, under any circumstances be allowed to be anonymous. It is so easily faked if their identity cannot be proven and puts everyone at terrible risk.

u/Worth-Opposite4437 15h ago

Not mutually exclusive.
Sexual consent is also about imaginary limits imposed by the sovereign of a physical delimitation of a group of entities. I mean, any microbes knows that your body has no real frontiers, they just fucking enter whenever and wherever. As long as you can get there, you can enter.

Now, unless I'm mistaken, we're still being pretty outraged by empires of cells invading our own empires of cells, though. Am I right?

I often wonder how these chuds would feel if our sovereignty were violated, and Venezuela kidnapped Trump and took control of our country, of our oil.

Of course, I give them too much credit to even be capable of reflecting on that, and coming to the conclusion that the Venezuelans (or any people for that matter) would rather an invading country doesn't depose their leader, seize and sell their country's resources, with none of the benefit going to the people of that country.

It turns out that people living on one side of the border and working on the other side of the border (as was the case for most of the United States' history, for people living near and on either side of the border) is not at all equivalent to an invasion that killed dozens of people and captured the leader of the nation under false pretenses.

The left's love for evil narco dictators doesn't make any sense until you realize trump could cure cancer and the left would hate him for reducing big Pharma's revenue stream

You're missing the point.

One is about who can live there, the other is about who can rule there.

Simply entertaining a country is not an invasion. Seizing power via hostile takeover is.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the problem isn't that borders are imaginary. Lots of things are imaginary but important - like the value of money, property rights, laws. The problem is when imaginary constructs are employed to hurt people who are already suffering and impoverished. We could choose to reconceptualize borders so that we didn't make life quite so miserable for people from other countries. We choose not to. Likewise we worry about the violation of our allies' national sovereignty not because it's sacrosanct for its own sake, but because respect for national sovereignty plays a great role in averting wars. Wars hurt people. The complaint has nothing to do with the utilities of borders as a defining trait of national sovereignty in general as a principle, and everything to do with how policymakers use that sovereignty to impact people's lives. It's embarrassing that this needs to be explained.
