Material versus immaterial. A chair 🪑 is a material object. It’s physical. Nations and borders are ideas that have no physical material. If I walk to the border if my “nation” there is no material dashed line representing the border. There’s a river. Intro to philosophy should be taught in schools.
I guess not, but im willing to try to understand you, if you can explain to me what the issue is. I guess you believe materiality = reality? Thats fine, but you can’t impose that belief on others. Or am I completely off-base here?
You are venturing into philosophy. Specifically physicalism. But the concept as related to social constructs, flows into materialism versus idealism. Good luck. These are heady concepts, but exciting to explore.

If you can’t understand me, we can’t communicate.
