Heck i”m convinced China is completely BEHIND the globalism thing. They’re probably the ones who created it. They’re profiting off it like crazy. Trump saw this. China saw that Trump was in the way so they green lighted that he was the enemy and was to be crushed.
Disagree. The arrogance and naïveté of a young America, fresh off the heroism of WW2 and led by its "educated" class, thought up this idea of using the poor in other countries to produce our easily replicated consumer goods as a means of commercial efficiency. Obviously the Republicans of yore were in favor of it.
It was a hugely misbegotten idea, as Greenfield deftly points out—a sort of worldwide hysteria to never have a world war again by buying peace. This country thought so highly of itself that it did not reckon with the obvious downside of becoming unequally yoked into binding relationships with non-Christian societies with different concepts of morality.
We are now in the midst of another worldwide hysteria, or perhaps another iteration of the same worldwide hysteria, so we have no excuse for denying that a worldwide hysteria can happen. This one (plandemic + climate change) is aided and abetted by the internet; so the urgency around figuring it out and neutralizing its destructive power is paramount.
