@Spacehistory @blueorchestra When those kinds of divisions are built into the foundation of a state, they don’t just fade away. They shape how threats are defined, whose lives are prioritized, and how force is justified. Security becomes tied not just to defending borders, but to maintaining a particular social and political order.

@Spacehistory @blueorchestra That’s why the comparison matters. It helps explain why the language of security carries so much weight—and why it often obscures the deeper structures of inequality that continue to shape policy and perception in both countries.
