...but sure, let's just surrender all of that to the next actor waiting in a long line. I'm sure that the america firsters are going to really enjoy their new chinese overlords.
globalism befitted the further separation of the rich and the poor. IE it makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. eliminating the middle class. you know the manufacturing jobs that doesn't make any one rich, but pays all the bills and leaves money over at the end of the month for savings.. Globalism creates a consumer society, but with dwindling middle class jobs people have to go into debt to make it. which forces further dependence on the government. which needs to be bigger to sustain itself, hence global government and markets. which is why trump and america first pisses so many globalists off. because he is keeping the money in country rather than feeding china and building solar power stations in third world nations.
