So I figured we'd take a break from the current flurry of sexual misconduct accusations to talk about one of the old favorites: globalism.
I'm sure my reputation as an SJW beta cuck Soros shill is well known here (Seriously George, I'm still waiting on those Shillbux), but here's my take on it anyway.
Globalism, like any conspiracy theory, is fundamental attribution error mapped onto social phenomenon. In this sense, the people decrying globalism are half-right. There is a tendency towards the breaking down of the nation-states by the globalization of capital, a blurring of the lines between the developed and developing world, and this economic order requires the free movement of capital and labor in order to function.
But being half-right is far more dangerous than complete ignorance. Globalization is real. What isn't real is any cabal willing it into existence for financial benefit, and all the attendent media related conspiracies. There's no such thing as a globalist agenda. It is the result of actors working within the market system pursuing their individual self-interest. Globalization happens because the demands for the accumulation and circulation of capital require the breaking of barriers to trade to preserve and expand revenues.
But it's not like right-wingers are the only people who believe in cabals. Globalism has a neat left-wing counterpart, "neo-liberalism". Neo-liberalism at least has the advantage that self-styled neo-liberals have existed for decades. But just like the anti-globalists, the left-wing neo-liberals put the cart before the horse, and think the break down of social democracy and welfare states is the result of a nefarious cabal destroying them, and not the result of very real crisis within capitalism that made social democracy untenable in the global capitalist market.
