Saying we shouldn't have nations is like saying we shouldn't have toothbrushes. Yes, someday we'll have a benevolent one-world government, and someday we'll have nanotech that cleans your teeth for you. But in the meantime, let's not tell people to stop brushing their teeth.

Aye. Nations are about so much more than borders, but borders are what liberals obsess over*. And I think they don’t know their own history, but earlier generations of libs were the ones who helped so many nations gain independence and start the decolonialization process. Not that groups and their views can’t evolve, but eliminating nations and borders now would mean that there’d be endless war and conflict and that Apple, Google, et al. would have carte blanche (and hundreds of other very bad things).

*I think libs obsess over borders because they are mostly rich and white and believe they should have the privilege to cross any border anywhere at any time, no matter what, even if the people across that border don’t want them there.
