I mean I get it, you consider public land in the USA to be co-owned by every human being, not by American citizens exclusively.
fact it, that's objectively not the case.
you can waive your property right over it as much as you want but you can't waive other people property rights over it.
public land is owned by citizens in a communal form, through different legal entities. Federal, state, local and so on.
And constituents of those entities have legal property rights on that land, including arbitrarily limiting access to it as they see fit.
exactly as if it was land owned by a corporation or an individual.
saying "you don't have rights to not let people cross" is equivalent to say "land can't be owned".
And well that's a truly radical take (which I know exists in some extremist left-libertarian circles), but i am not the radical one if I fully refuse it.
