"especially as rural america continues to become less and less important to the global economy"
Yeah it should come to no surprise that when people are forced into a globalized system that they don't find representation, comfort or belonging in, that they will become fervently against 'globalists' and 'globalism' and find that the people who are supporting and pushing for it are not doing it from a good place but out of evil to punish them. Also the rhetoric towards those people is antagonistic and feeds their perception of the perpetrators.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoTrue; but simultaneously, globalism is barely a choice. International economic competition is real and unavoidable. Leaders who rile people in rural areas up by claiming otherwise and pretending they will be able to help them without adapting are just lying.
- darkarmani 5y ago> people are forced into a globalized system I don't understand this framing. How are people forced?
