If you ever want proof HN is not Libertarian, they way it downvotes open borders shows it is not.
Libertarians don't have to believe open borders work fully but should be open to talking about it.
It's also something in the future people will judge us for. They will live in a world where richness is less border based though, so get rose colored glasses. Like slavery, easy to judge when you don't get to do it.
- turk73 7y agoI consider myself a libertarian, but I have realized that open borders is a bag of dicks idea. Fucking beyond stupid. Private property exists for a reason. Political boundaries exist for a reason. If we got rid of the welfare state and did better at enforcing private property rights (I'm not sure what that would look like or if it is even possible) maybe we could relax on border security. That's not the world we live in, however.
