If the bigger picture includes completely changing the entire way the world works, the way countries work, how humans have always organized themselves, etc, then I think it makes sense that people are not looking at it because it is completely unrealistic and irrelevant.

"Let's not discuss this specific government policy, because should governments even exist" is not very interesting.

Holy strawman dude. You don't have to abolish the entire concept of governments in order to guarantee basic human rights at border crossings. Countries work out all kinds of shared minimum standards in international agreements.

Which is why the guy in the article is wrong:

> I don't feel there is any point in contacting the State Department, nor do I think they have any power against such a powerful and strict country as the United States

That's exactly what he should have done if things happened as described and the Norwegian government should then take appropriate action.

Yes! You and I are in agreement.

It was the parent to my comment that was suggesting otherwise.
