I live in maybe the most globally free movement neighborhood in the US and the one that perhaps invented the globalist mindset you are criticizing (Hyde Park, Chicago).
Yet I know everyone of my neighbors and our community is cohesive and stable (though it’s rare to live near extended family, thankfully in my case). Virtually everyone of those neighbors (including me) is an economic migrant.
We have soul, we have warmth and we have near daily events that cause us to interact closely with each other.
Maybe it’s not the globalism that caused the issues you are seeing. Maybe it’s zoning or the civic planning of your community? Do you spend a lot of time in cars? Does your community not have civic organizations that allow you to work with a variety of people in your neighborhood? Or perhaps there isn’t any diversity so everyone feels isolated? Or maybe you just aren’t participating in your community?
- rayiner 4y agoI’m talking about real community, not just atomized households going to yoga in the park. The fact that you list not living near extended family as a plus confirms that you don’t understand what I’m talking about. For most people in the world, and even in America, kinship ties are very important.
