Can you believe it?
A baby, by just being born within a certain imaginary line, is faced with a barrier to go out of that line. Passports and visas are the racism of our times. They are against any kind of human rights and equality. |
A portrait of the world
Planet Earth is a big zoo; Countries are the cages where the same kind of human species (Ethiopians, Italians, Brazilians etc.) are gathered; Borders are the fences of those cages to see that we are kept under custody; Customs officers are the wardens of those cages. Governments are our shepherds, our owners basically, who have rights over us, imposing rules, regulations and laws way too far into personal lives (...) |

Angelina Jolie is a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In her speech “Refugee system breaking down”, she says: |
Join The League Of Unreasonable MindsRemoving borders as barriers of movement, acknowledging everyone's right to move around and live anywhere they wish on the planet they were born- is the moral imperative of our time. Because being unreasonable in this ridiculuously irrational world is the only reasonable thing to do. |

Planet Earth is a big zoo; Countries are the cages where the same kind of human species (Ethiopians, Italians, Brazilians etc.) are gathered; Borders are the fences of those cages to see that we are kept under custody; Customs officers are the wardens of those cages. Governments are our shepherds, our owners basically, who have rights over us, imposing rules, regulations and laws way too far into personal lives; Citizenship is the governments' seal they cauterize us with at birth. A Passport is “valuable” paper we need to pay for granting us permission to go out our zoo-cage. A Visa is the due we have to pay to present to the guardian of the cage we want to visit, a seal of approval we need to get to be temporarily let in on parole to another zoo-cage. Visas are the racism of our times. Yes, visas are an institutionalized and worldwide accepted racism. “But the zoo-cage you are coming from has no agreements with our zoo-cage. Therefore, you will need to bring such and such documents and pay us this amount of money,” they say. They reason like this: "There lives deers, zebras and goats in the European zoo; they would get along. Therefore the European zoo-cages have an agreement with each other. Whereas there are lions in the zoo-cage of Turkey. If you come over here, you'd eat us. So we only accept those of you that have been tamed into our zoo-cage. You bring along your vaccination cards, your taming diplomas, and your bank statement, if your wallet is thick enough, and your documents are good enough, if we deem them adequate and see fit, we grant you a visa, you may get into our country for a while." You may substitute other countries or unions for Europe and Turkey and interchange the animals of countries with cats-dogs, cats-rats, birds-worms-caterpillars or any other animal to your liking. Only when the reality dawns on us that every single person living in all countries are people, human beings that is, that we all cry at least once, laugh at least once in life, that our basic needs are the same, only then will borders be abolished. It will perhaps be overnight like the Berlin Wall crumbled. Or perhaps it will be slow and gradual. Bets are on.

Be My Patron!

Put your finger in the pie...
If you would like to support my ideas, please donate whatever you can to children, mothers, immigrants or to whoever you find trustworthy. And propagate these ideas by sharing the website.
I would also appreciate a patron. Just like in the old times. Or are there still patrons nowadays? Anyway... I would like to have one please. So that I go on writing. I mean I will of course write even if nobody pays me, still... It's always nice to know somebody values your work. Someone to help further spread my ideas. I don't even want money for myself (well, some pocket money would not be bad). My patron can give the money to an orphanage or an immigrant on the street every time I publish something. Not as charity, as a sign of solidarity. To say that “We do not like or approve of the way this world treats you.” As our declaration to be left as a legacy. That our will is for borders to be abolished. And for people to be considered people, not nationals of the imaginary line they happened to be born in. |
Be my Patron!
P.S. I know these are not generally held opinions, especially these days.
But I feel so very strongly about them that I plan to devote the rest of my life in making whatever change I can. In order to propagate these ideas to achieve this goal, I would of course like to publish these articles. However, as I am currently very busy writing I cannot devote time to go hunting for a publisher, so if you are one or know of one who would support such ideas please...
