There is a meme going round that compares the Black Panther's fictional African nation of Wakanda with Trump's America.
I can see why people would make the comparison, there are similarities but the differences are significant.
Wakanda starts with closed borders which stopped it from getting invaded and colonized by the colonizers for centuries. And at the end opens it's borders to share it's technology. Quite different to the West invading everywhere then kicking out immigrants to the land they stole.
Let us be clear, other African nations in reality were either colonized by the West or destroyed by economic sanctions.
Closing borders and keeping it's abundance secret may have been the only way an African nation could stay African and abundant.
This is quite different from stealing land hundreds of years ago then closing borders and being, let's call it what it is, racist to the Mexicans who have more ancestral right to California than the white descendants of immigrants.
But race is basically an illusion anyway, there is one race, the human race and most of us are related. As the end of the movie indicates - opening borders and sharing abundance is the way forward.
Hello, I'm Oatmeal Joey, and Black Panther was cool but how is open borders working out for Europe?
Good question. Time will tell. It's hard to tell how much of the "refugee crisis" is inflated by the media or how much of the terrorism fear is inflated by false flags and the government. But yes, it's a good question and a good point - my take is idealistic. I hope for the best but whether or not open borders would work outside a fictional reality is yet to be seen. Can you imagine no borders at all? No countries? No nations competing with each other, just individuals free to travel and earn without passports or visas?
How many people are murdered each day in Europe right now in 2018?
I don't know. And seeing as I don't trust mainstream media or the government I don't know if I'd believe any statistics I was given.
