Comment on Did Border Control exist in previous eras? (Say, like 500+ years ago or more) Can people go to other places? If so, what does the procedure look like? Just walk across a border?

In some form, yes. However, a lot of it centered around import fees instead of restricting immigration. It would also usually center around cities, bridges, toll roads, and ports rather than open fields.

If you were the wrong ethnic type in a city, they’d just kill you.

Its miraculous how multi-culturlism exists in the modern world, I mean, sure there’s still racism, but so far, as a racial minority in a diverse city in an immigration country, I’ve not been lynched (not yet, anyways 👀), I think its kinda beautiful how, for the most part, humans have come to tolerate each other regardless of skin color (I’m mostly talking about Immigration Countries like Canada, countries in EU, and US… at least prior to Nov. 2024)

Of course, there are always extremists who are trying to turn back time with stupid nationalism stuff.

  to be fair it is pretty comprehensible but I am amazed at your eleven-comma-having paragraph sentence.
  
  bravo! long live the comma!

    Lol, I type the words the way I imagine my self spreaking it in my head, so I always use the filler words and silences like “um” and “…”, comma is a short pause, a “…” is a slightly longer pause. “so” always automatically has a pause after it, but sometines I also add “…” to indicate a longer pause like: “so… what did you do this weekend”
