1). How do you think we fought against the outbreak of Ebola? Because of globalism.
The idea of helping another nation is not globalism. This is to try and pigeonhole those who identify as against the push for globalism as being of an extreme national isolationist ideology. A straw man.
2). How do you think up until 73 years, there have never been world war 3? Because of globalism.
Are you daft?
What was the Cold War? Iran, Chechnya, Korea, Vietnam, and dozens of other skirmishes against the influence of the USSR. China and the U.S. have been in a mutually hostage trade war since the 80s that has only recently been dismantled. The global media has been pounding the war drums over Korea, Russia, and now Syria/Iran for years, now. Entire policies of regime change have been implemented. Yugoslavia, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Syria - all of these places were condemned for not being in line with the globalist model of a perfect society and turned into hell.
3). How do you think you enjoy an abundance of technological and cultural privileges? Because of globalism.
Germans and Slavs. Those two ancestral groups pretty much engineered the modern world after the fall of the Roman Empire. Steel foundry, chemistry, rocketry, metallurgy and electronics.
Guess who has been targeted the heaviest by globalists. Stealing fire from the gods comes with a consequence, it would seem.
I could go on, but I think anyone can get the idea now. The foundation of globalism is how there is prosperity and secularity worldwide, regardless of current hardship going around, but the world today is far better than it was 100 years ago, where nations were isolated and there were no rule of law existing in air and seas.
The world is in worse shape than it was 100 years ago. Just because we have better masturbatory aids doesn't mean we have a better structure or system. Most monetary systems during that era were still tied to Gold and Silver. They held some amount of purchasing power. It was possible for the working classes of many nations to accrue wealth and to purchase property. The current rate of property ownership among nations is downright Orwellian in its implications as entire generations are effectively forced to rent from slum lords and rent sharks. Laws exist to confiscate property on suspicion of wrongdoing (and the process for getting it back requires money that, surprise, the renters have very little ability to come up with), most of the planet's surface is considered a legally protected natural preserve and any kind of development is strictly forbidden - making it criminal to homestead.
We may have some fancy shit to dick around with and some better materials to beat together, but what we can do with those things as individuals has been so severely curtailed that it is enough to make one vomit at the realization.
It is through globalism that we have regulations enforced in seas and air to regulate shipment trades and air travels for all kind of purposes; 100 years ago and before, you would have pirates and countries illegally repossessing ships on sea, but thanks to globalism we no longer have this.
This is actually thanks to the United States. The First and Second Barbary Wars were what effectively put in place the policy of nations killing pirates and counter-invading their bases of operation, rather than simply paying protection monies that always increased. See, the British used to have this policy where they would pay the Barbary states to not attack their ships. Other nations, as well, paid these protection fees to not have corsairs jump aboard and slit people's throats. Or... at least make it so that there were some paperwork consequences for doing so.
The U.S. fell in line with this strategy after its independence for a time, until Jefferson and Jackson had enough of the ever-increasing protection fees that Congress could not afford to raise. So, they commissioned a group to go in and rescue a captured ship, and fucked the Barbary States' whole gay world up. Twice.
Other nations - or, more properly, their merchant networks, began to pay privateers ... mercenaries that would later become known as the Merchant Marines, to begin safeguarding shipments and even running their own small navies to interdict pirate operations. The British crown was effectively using the Barbary states (which it owned after purchasing the debts of the Ottoman Empire... but that's another story) as a proxy army for suppressing rival shipping networks. "Protection Money" was their cover for providing the barbary states with a military budget that it could then use to attack other nations' shipping. After the success of the U.S. attacks on Tripoli, other nations began to follow suit, and it became an untenable arrangement for the British.
Today, there are still pirates, many of them come out of Africa and strike into the Persian Gulf or shipping lanes near the Horn of Africa. We have ongoing military operations in those regions to interdict against pirates. There are still merchant marines. This isn't so much the idea of globalism as much as it is the idea that we don't like our trade with each other being plundered. If I send something to a friend I met online in another country - and a pirate gets it, instead, I'm going to be more than a little pissed.
The trades in agricultural, electronic, vehicle products that the world can enjoy is also because of globalism.
Not necessarily. What has been done is actually hyper-specialization of various economies in order to keep them mutually enslaved to each other in financial arrangements that deny them any kind of autonomy. Where do the worlds' CPUs and other such electronic devices come from? Almost exclusively parts of China and Taiwan. Even when they are assembled in Korea, Japan, China, etc - the die fabs are almost all concentrated into one very small area of the planet and owned by a very small number of people.
Not only does this not make sense from a market standpoint - it makes horrible sense from a security standpoint. It makes populations all over the world reliant and dependent on the events in a very small region of the planet, when their own economies are more than capable of producing such technology on their own.
Chinese steel mills are at capacity. They can't build power plants or foundries fast enough over there. Most of the western world has been closing down steel mills, iron ore mines, etc. Even though the steel from China is sold to these nations at, perhaps, a 10% cost savings over domestic steel, governments have refused to enact tariffs or other measures to protect their industrial capacity. Chinese laborers are paid extremely tiny fractions of the sale price of the goods they produce and sell into foreign nations, and the massive profit margins serve to fund their government policies and create a wealth caste in China that goes beyond the wealth disparity of billionaires and minimum wage workers in the western world.
Only a few nations on the planet currently mine Bauxite and refine it into primary source aluminum. Copper mines are becoming increasingly centralized to a a few nations. Rare Earths are hardly mined, at all. A massive deposit of Copper, Gold, Uranium, and Rare Earths is located in the hills of south-eastern part of Missouri. Largest identified deposit of its kind, similar to those in Australia. Another has been found off the coast of Japan (I call Korea the Asian Ozarks for a reason, the region is almost identical in geological formation, except it has some water on top of it, still).
Efforts to exploit these mineral deposits are met with an immense amount of obstruction. There is zero reason why new mines and new foundries using nuclear power can't be built except for the reason that it is convenient to a global structure of centralized power to keep nations mutually reliant upon each other such that tensions can be manipulated to prevent the rise of rivals. Like room-mates who can't afford to move out on their own away from each other, and are always at each others' throats because they can't afford independence from the incompatible behaviors of their codependent cohabitants.
The ability in how the world united together in fighting against disease outbreak,
People have done this since the plagues of old. Their capacity for doing so was simply more limited by technology and industry. Churches and Monasteries of many different faiths and cultures have sent missionaries to lands suffering from various ills and wants to assist.
humanitarian aid for poor and war-torn countries
Get ready to hork your lunch. As the NXVIUM case unfolding will eventually begin to spell out, the world's leaders have used proxy wars to devastate areas and then send in aid workers and various contractors where the Red Cross functions as a child trafficking service where children are effectively bought and sold into slavery. The U.N. has been caught, multiple times, participating in *** tourism and in assisting local trafficking rings in reclaiming lost or 'freed' *** slaves.
Ever heard of Laura Silsby? The sick joke of it is that she now runs Alert Sense - the system responsible for Amber Alerts (missing children) in the U.S. Goes by the name of Laura Gayler, now.
and maintaining military security are one of the many aspects of globalism.
If only that were true....
The negative aspects of globalism nationalists talk about are jobs outsourced and loss in cultural identity. These two points can be debunked by two reasons, if people were educated properly.
Is this what passes for a thesis in college, these days?
"This can be debunked, by making sure people believe it has been debunked." Well, gee, I'm glad you're here to tell me that the steel with a Musical Matrix of metal is just my being uneducated. Have you ever seen an aluminum casting shatter like a piece of glass when it hits the ground? We get steels from these nations that have absolutely absurd swings in their alloy and temper consistency. While I have nothing against China's rise to industrial power - the fact remains that much of their economy has zero idea what it's doing when it comes to process and quality control. Even the chaos of family business factories in the midwest is a highly organized and oiled machine next to the skullduggery that goes on in China.
This isn't just a "oh, jobs are outsourced" - one must wonder what forces -compelled- the outsourcing of manufacturing to inferior sources over the protests of virtually every engineer and rational individual in their respective industries. As I said, the cost difference is only around 10% or so, depending upon what we are talking about, specifically. The Chinese businesses aren't selling us stuff at a 5-10% profit margin, they are selling it at a 50-100% profit margin (or greater), assuming their internally gimmicked economy is properly accounting for their operating costs (it isn't). Compared to the quality issues, customer complaints, and supply shortage issues when natural disasters interrupt shipping... the cost and hassle to the business is more than whatever cost savings are had.
If you think it is a good thing that the Chinese are paid slave wages to produce steels that are sold at only a modest discount compared to our domestic steels (the same applies for almost literally any Chinese product) while western nations are driven into poverty ... then you're something special in the negative connotation.
Simple questions must be asked... why do we sell much of our domestically produced crops abroad, while importing many of those same crops from Mexico for domestic consumption? Why are Mexicans going without food they are more than capable of producing in their own nation because it can be sold in the U.S. for a vastly higher price? What is done with the food grown here in the U.S.?
You see how this "globalist" system starts to work out?
There's nothing wrong with countries trading with each other, but when you begin to look beneath the curtain of what is going on, currently, you find that the "market" does not make much sense or behave as the traditional understanding of a market implies. It is only when you begin to dig into the legal fiasco entangled within our economy that the constructs that give rise to such irrational behavior begin to come into focus, and the true criminals behind these enterprises are exposed for what they are.
