Fyi, China is not in that crowd. China is at least as bad as the US. It just knows it can't afford to pull the same stunts. They are still an imperialistic shithole.

Honestly in what way would China be considered better?
They check all the boxes:
- Malicious Trade and Finance shenanigans
- Dictatorship
- Militant Expansionists
- Constant Psyops
- Supporting horrible militant factions across the globe
- Run by racial supremacists
- Cracks down on non-official religions
- Massive polluters (used to have the excuse of low emissions per capita until they started reversing policies meant to limit capita)
Every bad thing you can say about the USA goes for China and then some.
Yeah I guess we’re gonna get bombarded more with Chinese propaganda soon as they’ll try to replace the US as our new daddy
The "Christians" who take the Bible literally actually do believe that globalism is evil. But that's what happens when your religious texts were written first by nomads, then by a civilization that regularly got conquered, and finally a cult that was persecuted by the Romans.
Globalism IS evil. The rightards just care about it as much as the nazis cared about socialism.
Explain please? I’m uncertain about the heart of where you’re coming from
Globalism is such a weasel word. Esperanto-speaking cosmopolitans and tax-dodging capitalists are usually not the same. Then again, the far-right demonized even Esperanto back in the past century and might do it again if people took it seriously.
Yea I think of globalism as a synonym for globalization, global markets, sweatshops, this kind of things.
Explain please? I'm uncertain about the heart of where you're coming from
No, the "Christians" who oppose trade clearly have never even read the Bible, or even just the New Testament. Jesus spent a lot of time telling people to love the stranger, the traveler, and the alien. To treat a foreigner in your land as kindly as you would your brother. Modern Republicans have completely abandoned the teaching of the actual historical Jesus.
In the 80s, 90s and early 00s the left was against globalism, so it's extremely weird to see things being reversed...
“The left” is not a monolith.
The left was very much all anti globalization. Globalization was implemented by the likes of Thatcher and Reagan to save on salaries, the left was pro workers.
And now globalism is generally more good than bad, isolationism isn't going to fix anything. Seems perfectly rational for left wing people to change their view when circumstances change.
More good than bad? Manufacturing jobs for people who don't pursue higher education have disappeared from the first world leading to the slow death of the middle class, third world countries see their people becoming slaves that make products they'll never be able to afford in order to feed the Western world all the things it wants without having to pay the labor required to make it, Africa can't get out of the shit it's in because its agriculture isn't based on feeding itself...
Yeah, globalism is awesome if you're an office worker with university level education and you like to buy shit.
Globalism is good for consumerism.
For the consumerism of a small minority by exploiting a majority if you look on a global scale
Very true.
