The last word in this piece — ‘inside’ — implies borders! It’s right about ‘whiteness’ though. I prefer the phrase ‘defense of privilege’ to convey this idea. It gets to the point.

It’s interesting that those who would put up tariff barriers to restrict trade call it ‘protection’. Restricting the movement of goods, services, money, ideas & people all require borders, serve the same interests & produce the same result: perpetuation of relationships of privilege & disadvantage.

The nation-state is finished. The quality of ‘leadership’ it produces is trash. The article is right: If You Don’t Have Borders, You Don’t Have Whiteness [Defense Of Privilege].

In any case, how could it be justified ethically or philosophically (or religiously if you must)? I say it cannot.
