I am American and I have never seen photos like this. I had no idea there are borders like this. Even though I LOVE the idea of open borders, I am staring at these pictures like “wait…people can just…walk across some stones or grass and BE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY??? and nobody stops them?? how does that WORK?!” So you can tell that my country’s propaganda has gotten to me by convincing me that this CAN’T work even though…it…obviously can.
These pics just seem unreal to me. I’ve been taught my whole life that this can’t exist. In 27 years no one has ever sat me down and gone, look, here’s how it is elsewhere. It isn’t impossible at all.
I want to add something, but I’d just be restating what they said. I.. didn’t know peace and kindness like this was possible.
here’s the border between morocco and the european union they didn’t get rid of borders they just placed them on the frontiers of the union to stop muslims and africans getting in, and that’s not showing the hundreds on boats attempting to cross the mediterranean to escape warzones
in fact trump used similar screen grabs of this exact situation to claim america was under attack by mexicans
Europe is not in a state of peace and kindness at all. Europe has put the thousands of dead bodies each year that are the result of it’s border policies conveniently farther away from it’s richest and most powerful states. That’s all.
