Frank Snowden — a historian details how the coronavirus pandemic is threatening the globalist worldview of free movement of people and free trade.
Wile the [bubonic] plague saw power move up from villages and city-states to national capitals, the coronavirus is encouraging a devolution of authority from supranational units to the nation-state. This is most obvious in the European Union, where member states are setting their own responses. Open borders within the EU have been closed, and some countries have restricted export of medical supplies. The virus has heightened tensions between the U.S. and China, as Beijing tries to protect its image and Americans worry about access to medical supply chains.
The coronavirus is threatening “the economic and political sinews of globalization, and causing them to unravel to a certain degree,” Mr. Snowden says. He notes that “coronavirus is emphatically a disease of globalization.” The virus is striking hardest in cities that are “densely populated and linked by rapid air travel, by movements of tourists, of refugees, all kinds of business people, all kinds of interlocking networks.”
Globalization, Snowden notes, has driven the coronavirus to majorly impact the wealthiest of Americans.....“Respiratory viruses tend to be socially indiscriminate in whom they infect. Yet because of its origins in the vectors of globalization, the coronavirus appears to have affected the elite in a high-profile way,”

Brother of Edward? Just kidding...I think.
Something for the “to do” list.....
*** NO MORE DUAL CITIZENSHIPS...NOT FOR U.S. CITIZENS ***
How about no more Illegals also?
Having to reuse the same old grocery bag (NY State and other state and local laws). The push for us to use public transportation. All the leftist crap many of us have been prodded to use.....is causing the spread
I hope the professor has tenure because Yale will try to fire him for daring to highlight the scourge called “globalization
“
Time to revisit God’s purpose in the Town of Babel
Time to revisit God’s purpose in the Tower of Babel
“”The virus is striking hardest in cities that are “densely populated and linked by...travel, by movements of tourists, of refugees, all kinds of business people, all kinds of interlocking networks.””
You mean like *every single other pandemic in recorded history*?
Now everyone can see the writing on the wall.
I don’t recall the 2009 H1N1 pandemic “messing” up my daily life.
I knew it. it was coming!
Didn’t say anything about that, just pointed out that this guy is saying the virus is hitting hardest in the exact same places that viruses have always hit hardest in and that this is an indication that it is a disease of globalization.
Of course.
The Spanish invasion of the America’s brought disease death and destruction to the native populations.
In North America, the population of the Cherokee nation was destroyed by disease brought by the British settlers in the later half of the 18th century
So, the phenomena is not new
Coronavirus: the cure for globalization
“The virus is striking hardest in cities that are “densely populated and linked by ...”
I say its hitting hard the populous that can’t keep their hands off each other. This is our modern Sodom and Gomorrah.
Tower of Babel was about splitting up and separating the people.
Do I hear that again?
It's funny how quickly the "humans are a disease on mother earth, save the sea turtles" crowd changed to "screw 'em-they're just turtles!" once they feared for their own lives.
All of the towns near me have slowly been instituting the “no more plastic” creed.
They’ve all been using flimsy paper bags. Well, yesterday when I went out for a few things, a sign on the door of my local market asked people NOT to use reusable bags and they’re back to using plastic.
Um... last I recall, the Bible was actually pretty specific about what the Tower Of Babel event was about - mankind’s hubris. Mankind declared we would build a tower high enough to reach heaven and thus make a name for itself, perhaps enough to equal God. God was unamused.
“And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.”
Genesis 11:4-8.
“the coronavirus pandemic is threatening the globalist worldview of free movement of people and free trade.”
Embrace the suck, Soros.
And, oh yes: don’t self isolate but rather self deport.
