Most people today have totally forgotten or don't care about their ancestors' struggles
Pretty much. Yeah.

We live in a better world than our ancestors did. So it makes sense that such divisions would matter less to us.

This is a shame, people aren't sheep, there's more to a people's future than just to merge into a single bland human blob.
Why are borders required to prevent that from happening?

By your logic the best thing would be for everyone to be their own nation.



Quote:
Opponents of human diversity argue we should all be the same, like rats or pigeons and let go of our cultural differences.
We should all have the same rights, yeah. I dont see anyone here arguing that all people need to be the same. You are attempting to construct a strawman.


Quote:
They equate borders with war and intolerance
Who is doing that? Can you be specific?


Quote:
One of the purposes of independence or for that matter having countries, is to allow differences, protect a certain area on earth for a people to exist and evolve.
How is Canada preventing Quebec from "evolving"?



Quote:
One of the reasons that made Europe thrive in sciences and arts over the centuries was that it had diversity and competition
The US now eclipses Europe in many (most?) areas of science, yet we are one nation while they are many.

The US is hardly a faceless blob...we are the most diverse culture that has ever existed.
