Humans like any other animal have been moving around ever since and only recently we as a species have developed this idea of imaginary borders and sense of entitlement to the place we randomly got thrown into without any doing of our own.
You’ll obviously find the concept of herds and territories also in animals, to be fair.
Also, given that we humans no longer only cater for ourselves and our direct surroundings, but luckily through social security systems also for people we don’t know at all and never will but who are part of our “peer group called ‘nation’”, there has to be a line drawn to specify this group. Especially, since there is a very strict line drawn where our jurisdiction applies. I understand your humanistic and moral thinking, but still see these real obstacles in the way.
I feel you’re responding to a child who has no notion of human behavior or evolution. Read their comment and decided they were too hopelessly ignorant and naive to respond to. You wrote a great response though!
