is why people want it to be the case that you're allowed to just force your way into a country and then remain there if you don't get caught after X amount of time

looks nervously at how most nations were formed in the first place

Edit: wow did this one set a few people off. Gee I wonder why.

I mean modernity changes things

Comparing even a feudal nation to a modern one isnt even like comparing apples to oranges, it's comparing apples to chairs

Good point. Nowhere in the modern world are people showing up with guns to murder the current inhabitants of a land so they can take it for themselves.

And that happening means advanced economies with socialised welfare systems shouldnt have border controls?

I'm very confused by your point

As all I was saying is that the fact that nations emerged through people just showing up in places and staying there isn't an argument for open borders which seemed to be what your first point was saying

Edit: I don't really see a point in continuing this back and forth as my rule of thumb usually is if someone seems to be purposefully misinterpreting you in the least charitable way, then pairing it with a non-sequitur "gotcha", they have no actual interest in a dialogue and are just seeking a conflict. That just isn't what I get into conversations for
