    I’ve never met a liberal irl who gives a fuck about borders or immigration. It’s always conservatives that rage about that shit to me.

      liberals have a lot of “very serious people” who talk about the sanctity of the nation state.

          Based, but also not a common belief under liberalism. I suppose you could argue there’s nothing inherently anti-globalist about it though.

        I think we should strive toward a world without borders. but until all governments can agree that borders serve no good aside from trade boundaries and taxation (which is arguably theft anyway) and should be abolished, then I think they do serve a protective purpose as well. Other nations are territorial so you have to be in defense of the place you live else you risk losing it to more territorial peoples.
