This is such a Lemmy take. Even a child can comprehend why borders are a necessity. The world is an unequal place that’s filled with scarcity and malice. In order to protect your society’s social coherency, economic prosperity, and values, you have to enforce borders
The EU did stop to enforce internal borders. It lower inequality within the EU and made the rich members better off, by providign cheaper workers. There is a reason Brexit causes so many problems for the UK.
That is not to say that opening all borders overnight would not cause problems. It clearly would, but in the end the world would be a better place.
Even you understand you’re being disingenuous with this one. The EU very much enforces it’s external borders, and freedom of movement is exclusively granted to other member states. The EU is after all a political union between very similar countries culturally, historically, legally, and economically. The member states democratically consented to remove barriers (not borders) to allow for freedom of movement among each other.
It clearly would, but in the end the world would be a better place.
If this was the case then this would’ve already happened, but it didn’t and it won’t for a reason. The concept of borders isn’t a product of some ideology, it’s a product of circumstance that was created out of necessity. Sure, there are plenty of modern borders that are nonsensical, but these countries all serve to show case why more proper borders are necessary as all the country with nonsensical borders are all very unstable and plagued with conflict.
I noticed over the years that many, if not all, of these collapse enthusiasts are terminally online larpers confined to echo chambers. They’re so detached from reality that they unironically think that the moment society collapses it’ll be replaced with whatever ideology they subscribe to, and this will cause all their personal problems to go away. They never seem to consider any other possibility.

A lot of people in Lemmy want everything to burn down. They seem to think that bringing everything down to their level means victory.
