Liberal white women who so not believe in ID requirements instituted after WW1 as a temporary measure over made up national security concerns Ah yes very liberal, such white, much vagina
Yeah and keeping slaves used to be legal while freeing them was illegal. Maybe don't get your morals and ethics from the laws of evil regimes. Your ancestors didn't have passports when they traveled. Borders are a new idea, created by capitalists to stop workers from fleeing to other countries by keeping them debt trapped.
Passports existed for centuries, but they were not used widely to control movement until the early 20th century. Before the 19th century, travel documents were rare, informal, and selective, mainly letters of safe conduct for merchants or diplomats. Most ordinary people could cross borders without documentation. During much of the 19th century, passport requirements actually declined, especially in Europe, as liberal ideas and new transport systems made travel easier and borders more open. The decisive change came with World War I (1914–1918). Governments introduced mandatory passports to manage security, military conscription, and large population movements. Crucially, these wartime controls were not dismantled after the war. In the 1920s, the League of Nations standardised passport formats and border controls, embedding them into international governance. By the mid-20th century, passports had become a universal and permanent tool for regulating international movement.
Requiring a state-issued passport to travel is essentially submission to state power though, cock sucking in other words. When it comes to freedom of movement, the only legitimate borders are those of private property. The problem is that the State makes these borders impossible to identify clearly, since it owns vast amounts of land itself. Moreover, it is not accountable to the actual property owners when it welcomes people (using stolen money to do so), while the consequences affect the private property of those citizens.
