Surely "globalism" is a very broad and nebulous concept. Why is it my fault that I reference it in broad terms?
Broad yes, but
nebulous no, I do not think so. It has already been presented how the present globalism developed in the late 70s and 80s.
It is a
fault that you do not seem to be capable of examining the claims and positions of those who present a critical posture toward the present trends in globalism. It is also a
fault that you pepper all your posts with hot and derisive rhetorical terms.
As I have noted many times: conversations devolve here into partisan battles, and once the partisan battle has been polarized productive conversation is rendered impossible.
The observation remains correct that if you find a way to explain what "globalism" is, and if you do so in terms that permit discussion of it having an agenda of its own or of it being the work of somebody who is using it to forward some other "agenda", you are, by definition attaching a conspiracy to it that would not attach if you were defining it merely as some broad historical trend that simply reflected late 20th century economics with long supply chains and maximised profitability via specialisation.
This is a loaded, rhetorically-driven statement. Globalism does not require my or anyone's explanation since it exists and is real.
It can be discussed for what it is, and certainly its *agenda* can also be discussed without resorting to extravagances. The *agenda* of the business and corporate community can easily be known. Your issue is with how those who have oppositional position toward its negative aspects -- both on the Left and now on the Dissident Right -- go about presenting their case. For example the man in the video heading up this thread.
In respect to that video we can say and we should know that the view presented has reductive elements. It is part of a discourse the purpose of which is to persuade the listener to see and appreciate those critical elements.
you are, by definition attaching a conspiracy to it that would not attach if you were defining it merely as some broad historical trend that simply reflected late 20th century economics with long supply chains and maximised profitability via specialisation.
It is precisely in respect to the
agenda and the
reasoning of those interests which you outlined here that a critical posture has become possible and its articulation necessary -- that is among those who take up the postures. In reference for example to GRECE there is no clear demarcation between traditionally understood Left postures and traditional Right postures.
A 'broad historical trend' can be and I think is being challenged by those who see in it elements that work against what they see as their interests and their values. That is precisely the point of critical positions.
By choosing to handle the thing as an agenda driven process, you are making the choice that comes with the tinfoil hat, not having it thrust upon you.
Here, you do again what you do regularly: attach a hot rhetorical term intended to contaminate the prospect of a balanced examination of the questions. One must examine and understand your
purpose. I will not say that your purpose is simple. As I have often said I believe we have to examine not only structures of ideas but elements of *personal psychology* to understand why it is that such intense polarities exist and play out with such intense fervor in our present.
Your tactic is common: the demonization of your *enemies* through assigning the worst interpretations to their motives.
Et voilà:
Incidentally, what I actually think is that you are mentally unwell and easily led down the rabbit hole by cynical abusers. You are weak and easy to take advantage of. You've been doing the Great White Replacement conspiracy theory but you might actually be too shit to notice that you are doing it. You are being encouraged by lame videos to ponder questions about the "Globalist Agenda" but you are too stupid to notice that the video doesn't answer the question it poses, it is softening you up for what you will be finding out when you are further down the rabbit hole...
... spoiler alert, it always comes back round to the Jews in the end with these guys. And they will tell you that you couldn't be told sooner because all the Jews control the media. And by then, after a few months of persuading you that you are special and wise and party to secret knowledge, you are going to lap it up like the weak willed manipulable little drunkard that you are.
Now is the time when you should totally prove this wrong by telling me how many of your best friends are Jews and that half your family suports The Tottingham Hottenspurs!
