“Safe Spaces” for Nationalists
Borderism is just another manifestation of the toxic and whiny “safe space” movement. No different than the other forms seen on university campuses. Childishness mistaken for maturity.
Because You’re a Moral Human Being
“Logic,” according to the border-fetish crowd: If you don’t approve of pointing a gun in some stranger’s face just because he wanted to step across an imaginary, arbitrary line…
Real Common Sense on Gun Control
