the entire concept of passports is weird, you try to visit a slightly different piece of the planet you were born on and then somebody goes "woah woah woah, first I need to see a very small booklet"
@VeryBadLlama The idea of passports is less weird than the idea of borders. "The people on the other side of this invisible line are *different* to the people on this side." #PostNationalism
@krans@VeryBadLlama well the idea of the border is just: someone owns the land and if you are on the land they own you. pretty straightforward, the question is mostly why we tolerate that. passports are definitely harder to understand.
