Both sides in this destructive duality which always ends up in conflict, are neurotically self hypnotised and causing harm to our descendants. This is how both sides are thinking:
- Closed borders - support the closing of something that does not exist
- Open borders - support the opening of something which does not exist
A border is not a fence or a wall. Those things are fences and walls, which exist materially, and are not borders.
A border is a piece of paper with ink on it saying that Power will either allow or disallow something. That is all. POWER.
Power can only function if the subjects of it are obedient to it. If the subjects are autonomous actors Power is nothing. Most of the history of society is an exposition of the subjects being obedient instruments of authority. There is a smattering of autonomous subjects. So to solve the worlds great social problems a good strategy might be to encourage more autonomy.
The curious thing is Power does not own this border it's trying to give or take away in the first place. It's only able to allow or stop subjects passing across something that does not exist and which it has never owned.
It's no use saying "well the law has granted ownership". Well thank you for reinforcing my point even more intensely - the law is just another arm of Power, allowing or disallowing something it does not own and is just pieces of paper with ink on them - it is not inherently justice in and of itself.
So, both sides in this political battle over if the border should be open or closed are seeking Power and that is all.
Both sides are masquerading as being here to save you. Both sides really want your obedience. Neither side wants your autonomy. If you are seen seeking unconditional freedom you will be sent into exile, a virtual death sentence. This is why most subjects seek obedience over autonomy - they are weak and will not be honoured by our descendants.
Both sides - or shall we start calling them tribes, have hypnotised themselves into believing a story that is not happening in the real world - the story that borders actually exist.
The hypnosis means they are no longer aware that they're both obedient instruments of authority seeking power and nothing else.
If a nation truly cares about its descendants more than itself, it will stop talking and imagining about opening or closing borders, recognising that borders do not actually exist.
What will be their policy then I cannot say. But at least both sides will not be killing so many of our descendants generations before they are born.
