The collective history of arms sales policies cannot be separated from omnipresent militarism. In fact, arms sales are an extension of the military dream of absolute control – a war to end all wars. The result is a sanitization of war and the blurring of lines between inside and outside, solider and civilian, and entertainment and violence.

Asylum/refugee
asylum and refugee policy relies on the legacy of settler colonialism that depends on the “us vs them” dichotomy – the state’s ability to regulate immigration and refugee policy just shows the ways in which the state asserts authority over the migrant “other”
