At United Nations, Globalist Obama Condemns ‘Crude Populism’ Sweeping the Planet

In his speech to the United Nations, President Barack Obama defended the increased globalization of the world’s nations, condemning the wave of populist nationalism that was growing in the world in response. Obama says globalization will continue growing rapidly, signaling the unstoppable march of progress. But he warned that nations who allow the wealthy to enjoy the benefits of globalism face challenges from their populace. Those people, he noted, were falling prey to an “alternative” narrative, propagated to fuel opposition.

“Alternative visions of the world have pressed forward, both in the wealthiest countries and in the poorest,” he said. “Religious fundamentalism. The politics of ethnicity or tribe or sect. Aggressive nationalism. A crude populism. Sometimes from the far left but more often from the far right.”

He referred to a “collision of cultures” that was challenging each country and called for world citizens to reject religious fundamentalism and racism.

“That’s a truism. That global integration has led to a clash of cultures. Trade, migration, the internet, all these things can challenge and unsettle our most cherished identities,” he said, alluding to France’s burkini laws and Muslim clashes with France’s offensive cartoons.

He also urged each country to evolve towards progress, describing the conflicts as part of the old world.

“The world is too small. We are too packed together for us to be able to resort to those old ways of thinking,” he said.

Actually G. K. Cherterton has the truth:

G. K. Chesterton

"Surplus population"

"SCROOGE is not only as modern as Gradgrind but more modern than Gradgrind. He belongs not only to the hard times of the middle of the nineteenth century, but to the harder times of the beginning of the twentieth century; the yet harder times in which we live. Many amiable sociologists will say, as he said, "Let them die and decrease the surplus population." The improved proposal is that they should die before they are born.

"It is notable also that Dickens gives the right reply; and that with a deadly directness worthy of a much older and more subtle controversionalist. The answer to anyone who talks about the surplus population is to ask him whether he is the surplus population; or if he is not, how he knows he is not. That is the answer which the Spirit of Christmas gives to Scrooge."

~G.K. Chesterton: Introduction to A Christmas Carol. (1922)

I seriously can’t stand this maggot.

Obama has a deep belief in the inevitability of socialist "progress" and history's unstoppable trend - the mark of a committed socialist. He is fundamentally wrong, and decent people need to prove him wrong.

How's that working out in Venezuela? Food shortages always follow socialist progress.

That’s a face that needs to be spit in.

How many days left of this pos?
