Well borders are rather useful and good. Everyone has boundaries with other people, it's even kinda mandatory for mental well-being. Everyone has borders with their home. Those are even legally enforceable.

I'm fairly sure you'd be rather pissed off if i would randomly walk into your home and started harassing you.

    I'm not the State. You are confusing personal boundaries with state borders. Totally different topics. Always a nice try to place state interests into personal interests of an individual. Oldest trick in the book. That's just like that argument that I need to go die for my country because if I was personally attacked on the street I would also defend myself. These are totally different scenarios. We can live together in big scale while still having private spaces. These things can coexist.

    I'd say it's the exact same principle, just scaled up.
    From personal boundaries and home rules, which are set up by each individual themselves. To HOA or apartment complex equivalents boundaries and rules which are set up by democratic voting(hopefully). To a district or state rules and boundaries to country to unions.
