Sadly, this discussion misses one important point of the open society - individual subjects vs incorporated (legal) subjects. All the (indeed) well meaning arguments mostly deal with the freedom of the physical person, or groups of them. Where is the needed debate about the increasing asymmetry (ref. Stiglitz) and agency between these two legal subjects - the citizen and the corporate body? E.g. “migration” remains divisive because we automatically think about foreign people entering, or our “own” educated young leaving - while corporations are welcome to expand (migrate) across borders without passports. Where would the author want to anchor libertarian values - in what we may possess, or in what we are?
You lost me at "global citizen." That is a fantasy that only the oligarchs and their servants can entertain. But, thanks for giving us regular folk another opportunity to see how you people think. And--by the way--in the 1980s, no one in the United States was watching "Duck and Cover" in anything other than the most ironic way--usually after a few bong hits.

Duck and cover? Ffs. Right out of the gate with bullshit . Britain is in more trouble than I thought.
