On one hand, countries have borders. On the other I have no faith in the government to protect our interests

What is a country?
Already see your point, but there’s never been a time in history where a group of people or culture didn’t need some protection from outsiders. You always needed team work and a leadership to give direction to avoid chaos.
Haven’t made a point. I asked a question.
I thought you were trying to point out the fact that a country inevitably involves having a government by asking the question.
Right so all a country is, is a territory controlled by a government. When you defend a country, you’re really just defending a region with a specific group of slave masters. It’s bizarre imo.
Africa is rife with conflict due to colonial borders. In fact most parts of the world.
I’m not sure if that’s true
How?
It's literally always happening.
Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Palestine, Sahara, Guyana, Taiwan, Sudan, Ethiopia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Khasmir.
Berlin Wall, Soviet Union collapse.
Borders, or the construct of them, is what has sperated people, tribes and cultures for centuries.
I know they separated people, but I’m not sure how it caused the poor outcomes of the cultures you just listed. What about the prosperous countries that have borders?
