It's quite depressing to see how the concepts of country, nationality, borders are still widely accepted without questioning.

- charlesism 10y agoYes. If you want to amuse yourself, take a look at the "I Want Out" section of Reddit. How quickly people begin to question when they realize how restrictive the situation really is. It all seems rational until you discover you can't spend more than three months in your girlfriend's country, or accept that job offer if some committee hasn't placed it in the "skilled labor" column.
- enlightenedfool 10y agoEspecially when human rights are only bestowed on citizens by a government and denied for others just for not being born in their country. Seems hypocritical to me.
- charlesism 10y agoYes, and you could make an argument that using blood or place of birth - as opposed to ideology - actually hinders people who have similar values from living together in the same parts of the world.
