So, you've basically just repeated media talking points and have nothing to say about globalism contributing to inequality and protest?

  > So, you've basically just repeated media talking points No, none of that is “media talking points”. > and have nothing to say about globalism contributing to inequality and protest? Other than the fact that I explicitly agreed that both xenophobic nationalistic corporatists and socialists are protesting in response to capitalist globalism...yes, actually I have more to say on the topic (and already said it in another subthread): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19437188 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19437188

    > xenophobic nationalistic corporatists Literally talking points used to discredit conservative populism. And from your previous comment: > class-conscious, not targeted against any non-economic identity group, and socialist Again, media talking points. PC culture has taken over the left; now instead of talking about inequality, they talk about a 'New Green Deal', gender pronouns, open borders/increased immigration, etc... On the right, limiting immigration and tariffs are their solutions to reducing the outsourcing of labour (and both are valid economic principles), yet it gets dismissed with negative adjectives. In both cases, all these talking points distract from the fact that inequality is the problem, globalism is one of the driving forces of inequality, and it's all glossed over by the media talking points you repeated.
