see we agree, it is arbitrary
i don't care if someone is a foreigner, black, speaks the same language, has similar anchestors or whatever arbitrary thing you want to take to define a nation. in the end we want to live in peace with each other, no need for made up borders or nations... every person is different
also no one is completely wrong, people have different opinions and view things from different perspectives. your view is not more right or wrong than mine is. but that is my opinion, you can of course disagree

I don't know how you came up with me saying it's arbitrary or that we agree on that. Or that borders or nations are "made up"
I'm not sure what you think saying something is "made up" will win you either.
Words are made up. We agree that they have certain meanings. If we didn't agree on that we wouldn't effectively communicate.
I mean I would like to live amongst people who look, speak, and act mostly like I do. But the more people who are manipulated into thinking like you for pretty silly reasons the less possible it is for me to get what I want.
Why should I be forced to live amongst people that don't share my values just because they're doing it "peacefully"? Why should anyone be able to move somewhere and change the social landscape of a place just because they're not doing it violently? Do you know what ethnocide is?
You're essentially saying that ethnocide is fine as long as the invaders are being nice about it. Are you not?
