Disease of Nationalism

Just returned from the pro-immigration/Keep Families Together rally, downtown. Such rallies and marches are happening all over the country today.

Ten of thousands of people protesting a symptom, without address the underlying disease.

That disease is nationalism, the very idea of "national sovereignty". Humanity DOES NOT recognize borders! Nations/national borders were created by very rich and powerful people to restrict the flow of resources and information, and to create a screen, behind from which the oligarchs could plunder the rest of the world. Very wealthy people, as we are learning, and so called "multi-nationals", do not operate internationally. They operate extra-nationally. These powers hold and marshall resources and "know how" to reinforce their borders, their veils. Borders are *their* borders, not humanity's borders.
