    “Globalists”. Globalism should be the ultimate goal for humans of the earth yet there is noise out there that shows globalism in a negative light.

      It’s at least partially a biblical thing. “Globalism” is associated with the antichrist in some flavors of Christianity. It’s part of what’s got some of them convinced that the rapture is due any day now (again/still). Religion is a fucking memetic disease.

      War will not end until the planet is united under a single global government. Imagine what humanity could do if we didn’t have to spend money on militaries.

        Being united under a single government doesn’t prevent wars within countries today. What makes you think it’d be different if that country was global?

          Nothing makes me think it. I just hope it. A global united collective will not change human nature, I get it.

      Economic globalisation is often associated with the decline of manufacturing in western countries and the associated job loss, while those issues are actually caused by unregulated capitalism (lack of labour laws and no local environmental protections).

      It is also associated with some conspiracy theories of Jews secretly running the world.
