Look. You read "Mein Kampf". These are very old ideas, implemented the first time on a big scale by the British Empire when they turned Australia into a "far-away"-prison, as far as I know.

Hitler and Stalin mostly just copy wrote them.

No, not that kind of labor camp. For fucks sake.

I mean like, get a nitrogen factory, take them out to some good land. And get them to farming, with good equipment, and their own colony. And then expand. Get them producing lots of shit.

And if they want to go home, they can take a bus. We will provide the bus.

Did you ever think about the fact that borders between nations are constructs from pure imagination ?

The same as "private" property is ?

You regarding people born under other flags than your own as lesser beings means the "elite" was very successful in directing your attention to "non"-problems.

Divide et impera is the ancient principle the ruling class is following when nudging your attention to people relatively unimportant to your own fate and happiness.

You should focus your attention on the asshats puppeteering your elected officials instead. At least with them, there is a small chance of actually achieving something relevant for your own life.

Yea. I think you have a great point.

So your private property is a construct from pure imagination? That's a weird thing to say.

It is nonetheless. Because even if I own those things in a sense of how we use these words now, they only are borrowed. The materials to produce them were there long before me, and the things themselves will be there after I deceased.

Humans do "only" borrow stuff because of our relatively short life-spans. Inheritance and these things couldn't exist, if we hadn't this desire to actually "own" things. Which we actually "can't" in this sense.

Also: This only was needed in earlier human civilizations because people either have no moral whatsoever (implementing chimpanzees behavior) and live too crowded and crammed together. So envy could have become a thing.

Which was a requirement to support the mostly completely effortless lifestyle of a ruling "elite" from their "over"production. This is how civilization itself began.

With someone regarding himself "better" as the people he lived with and then making demands. Which a majority of people started to fulfill, instead of questioning these demands themselves.

Which has taken a way so far into some extremes, we as a whole humanity simply can't afford it much longer anymore.
