im a nationalist not a socialist. i believe in strong borders. we as people of the planet have different cultures and its a way to strengthen them. not only that but i truly believe sometimes God wants war. Maybe its a way to control the population or maybe not but in any case i think people fighting to the death for what they believe in or to preserve their way of life is better than the alternative we get - genocide or ethnic cleansing. i think God may sometimes want that too. its a better alternative than also resorting to human sacrifice like in an Incan/Mayan way.

@Penny I was hoping you'd reply so I could expand upon my actual thoughts, my frustration looks something like https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2018/08/06/open-borders-economy-workers
That is interesting, but, The idea that we should do anything because it will make the GDP go up is a bad one. If I get plastered on Moonshine and then take moms Camry At 120 down the road and get into a terrible car wreck with myself and other people but somehow everyone survives and end up in prison for it, the GDP will go way up. But we're all worse off. All of us. Certainly, if there are positive economic impacts about this one, I'd like to know about them, but not from a fatally flawed measure of success like the GDP.

Another lost sheep judging a person's character based on party affiliation. It's such a low standard to live by. ☺
