Yeah it is interesting though from a sociological perspective that there seems to be a worldwide pullback from globalism. Did Brexit or Trump kick this off?

- chrisg23 1y agoIt's my sense that globalism kicked off this trend of anti-globalism. If it benefitted more people, or more accurately if it benefitted people in a more equitable way instead of concentrating the gains in the hand of the wealthy and powerful, globally, then maybe there would be less of a pullback. I'm not arguing for or against globalism, it has many benefits and drawbacks, but the undercurrent of opposition has existed long before Trump of Brexit, as seen for example in the various GX (G8, G20, etc) protests that took place around the world in the 2000's and 2010's, preceding the Trumpers and Brexit. I agree the sentiment has picked up in recent years, accelerated since Covid, and that politicians are doing what politicians do, trying to get elected.
- bamboozled 1y agoIt’s that grifter want to be fascist dictators types have exploited the hate people have for others to get elected or gain votes ? On second thought, you seem like a rage bot with GPT generated comments on politically charged articles.
- lazyeye 1y agoFor alot of people globalism = elitism. It provides a sort of camouflage behind which elites can organise things in a way which best suits them whilst at the same time proclaiming how virtuous they are.
- bamboozled 1y agoYet when the populists gain control that’s precisely what they do.
- lazyeye 1y agoWhat's populism again? That's a democratic mandate you don't like, right?
- bamboozled 1y agoPopulism is clearly what you're in favor of, but you're too stupid to know that I guess.
- lazyeye 1y agoIf I disagree with you then by definition I must be stupid, of course.
