presumably not the same cave he was having sex with
It was exactly the same cave he was having sex with. He refused to remove his penis to prevent their children from leaving the womb cave, so Kronos had to castrate Ouranos so they could emerge.
I would say that the legitimate process of seeking opportunities has been intentionally made to look illegal by waves of xenophobic policy from both Rs and Ds who have created an immigration system that's designed to generate workers without a legal foothold. If there was a functional way for people to seek the life they want, they wouldn't need to resort to fake IDs and hiding in trucks to get a job. But then industries would have to pay them legal wages.
A lot of people want to create a distinction between someone who's fleeing full-blown war or starvation vs someone who's fleeing poverty. I can't see how it is a crime to flee either. It is just a reality that humans will try to escape suffering, monumental suffering and everyday suffering - legislation and bureaucracy can accomodate or ignore that but it won't change it. So when we ignore it, we know that the black market will step in.
More broadly it suits the needs of capital to restrict the flow of labour as much as possible. Labour free to seek the best conditions means upward pressure on wages, lower margins and less leverage for capital.
Are you looking at this picture, reading this post and then attempting to seriously debate the author on the merits of their argument of no-politics "inteded"?
Yeah, it's not bad. The bit where Tucker is pretending to be Chinese isn't nearly as awkward as I'd remembered and the fight scene with all the throwing vases and arguing about which dynasty each one is from is pretty funny.
That area, because of so many religions centered on it and/or the power it holds, has been fought over since Solomon’s Temple.
Nope! Solomon's temple was built 1000-600 BCE. From then till christianity took over it's mostly been a backwater, or buffer zone.
It only seems important because we have writing from people who lived there (the Torah, etc.) saying how important it was (to them), then that writing got the official stamp of truth when the Roman empire took over Christianity.
To the extent it was fought over, it was mostly because it was between much more important areas - the Egyptians and other powers like the Hittites, Babylonians or Assyrians.
Even then the neo-babylonians for example seem to have left the region largely depopulated - it's not like they actually wanted it for any reason
