If borders are evil, then why is the one between North and South Korea still standing? Let’s challenge the left’s open-border logic and apply it globally—starting with the most militarized border in the world.
Borders are bad. Or at least, that’s the sermon we hear on repeat from the modern left. The idea of national sovereignty is apparently passé—a dusty relic from a more “xenophobic” time. And if you dare defend the need for border security, congratulations: you’re now somewhere between a cartoon villain and a medieval warlord.
Fine. Let’s run with that. Let’s take the progressive gospel to its final frontier and ask the real question: why on earth does the Korean Peninsula still have a border?
The Great Korean Border Hypocrisy
Let’s be honest—if America’s southern border is an oppressive, artificial construct that must be dismantled in the name of compassion, then surely the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea is overdue for a teardown party.
We’re talking about a 160-mile-long, landmine-laced, sniper-lined barrier that quite literally separates the free world from one of the most repressive regimes on Earth. But hey, a border is a border, right?
If walls are immoral, if fences are fascist, and if checkpoints are cruel—why isn’t the left demanding an open-border policy between Pyongyang and Seoul?
Imagine the Utopia
Picture it: no more checkpoints, no more patrols—just pure, borderless harmony. North Korean defectors wouldn’t have to risk their lives crawling through barbed wire or bribing guards. They could simply stroll into South Korea, grab a coffee in Gangnam, and apply for a job without fear of secret police showing up at their door.
Or maybe we go full unification. One Korea, united at last. Think of the possibilities! BTS meets Juche. Mandatory military service plus synchronized dance routines. Rationed rice with a side of freedom.
What could possibly go wrong?
Reality Check: Borders Exist for a Reason
Of course, this satire only works because we all know the truth—deep down, even the most idealistic border abolitionist knows it too.
Borders aren’t evil. They’re necessary. They mark the line between law and lawlessness, freedom and tyranny, stability and chaos. And pretending otherwise is not just foolish—it’s dangerous.
No one seriously proposes dissolving the border between North and South Korea because we understand what that would mean: surrendering safety, sovereignty, and sanity in the name of a feel-good fantasy.
So maybe—just maybe—we should apply that same common sense at home.
Final Thought
If borders are good enough for Korea, they’re good enough for the rest of us. And if you find that logic uncomfortable, there’s always North Korea—just don’t forget your passport.
