Scott McConnell on "post-Americanism" and "post-borderism."
Speaking of which.
Against "borderism"
Moral ideas are about power and violence.
Not just parental power and violence but also the state’s.
Anyone’s, really.
Sometimes they’re about the use of force against you to your
disadvantage.
Sometimes they’re about the use of force against others to
your advantage.
But sometimes they’re about the use of force against others
and are to your disadvantage.
Consider this fellow’s moral ideas about boundaries.
Consider related notions about quarantine.
Consider his ideas and those of others about who is to receive the health benefits, when they are scarce, that taxes on you pay for.
Don't worry about the rich and the powerful, by the way.
They'll be fine no matter what.
They always are.
