*July 4, 2025 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to his own comment.*

Melody Mustaine Where did I say that holding territory is the exact same thing as "restricting freedom" of everyone who is not in that territory? I think it's quite possible for a government to hold a territory, and not restrict the freedom of movement of citizens and non-citizens. For example, people within the US can move freely between the states, despite the fact that each state has a different government and laws. Same goes for the Schengen region in Europe. I want to move towards a world where people can move as freely between countries as US citizens move between states.
