It nearly always goes to either:
- "if you don't like it, you can always leave the country", which itself goes to a whole discussion around the fact that there is no "unclaimed" land on the planet. ...which naturally is an enormous can of worms in itself! (I call this **Murder Island**, which we can talk about some day if you want. Bret Weinstein answered a question from me around this on one of his podcast episodes).
- Children.
The first one attempts (poorly in my opinion. i've never seen a good response) to be answered with the complex of praxeological arguments around "legitimate acquisition of property" which just descends into obscurity when you try to assess if any State has legitimately acquired its territory - or if it "owns it" at all!
The second one... no comment. There be dragons.

Either way, at least everyone is talking about something other than Red Team / Blue Team! But it's definitely not any "easier".
