I'm totally with you on that. It really is inevitable. And in general, I'm pro-globalism. But it's not the globalism current globalists propose. The idea of international corporations exploiting all is definitely not the globalism I'd support. However the idea of the whole Earth being united as one collaborating society is. But that kind of unification involves cooperation and integration, not shelling and exploitation.

On 3.

US is perceived as a heir to British Empire. You've inherited their control over naval trading routes, WASP are descendants of English imperial tradition. You treat your colonies in the same manner as British Empire has treated theirs. So for the outsider, it's the same anglo-saxon world.

As for that type of negotiations, it is widely believed that common strategy of U.S. negotiations is creating a problem for the vis-a-vis, then negotiate something for removing it. Note the latest Trump's "Russia suffers from sanctions, we need nuclear deal, perhaps something can be done about it". No, nothing can be done about it. Sanctions is the pressure point that you have created, we're not gonna negotiate to give you something so that you remove them. The same goes for Syria. The whole situation was created by United States, we won't give up something so that you pull out. As those are extortion, not negotiations :)

Thanks for sharing.

Well, I'll try to cut it in pieces

This sounds about similar to CF cabal politics, lol. (n/t)

I don't think our point our views are that vastly different.

Jib January 26, 2017 09:55AM

I feel like your problem with globalism is a problem with capitalism in general

vortexmagus January 26, 2017 01:40PM

You are confusing true Capitalism with Corporatism.

Jib January 27, 2017 09:23AM

A truly free market always favors the rich and well-connected

vortexmagus January 27, 2017 09:25AM

Full stop. I'm saying globalism isn't capitalism. Period.

Jib January 27, 2017 11:47AM

Right, this is what I was saying, I was saying that you're blaming globalism for stuff that is inherent to all forms of capitalism.

vortexmagus January 28, 2017 11:18AM

He's blaming globalism for making that shit global (n/t)

Kstatida January 29, 2017 12:19AM

Dude, you know no shit, seriously

Kstatida January 27, 2017 09:42AM

No. No, they don't.

Geography isn't mandatory?

Murphy January 27, 2017 03:28PM

Want to know a secret?

MiyagiYojimbo January 27, 2017 06:10PM

Looks right to me. I wonder why all the blue islands have dragons. (n/t)

Matrik January 27, 2017 05:24PM

Haha. "Blue islands." #LAPR (n/t)

Murphy January 28, 2017 01:04AM

Think of it more like a poker game

Quas January 27, 2017 10:32AM

I'm confused at what point I mentioned a perfectly competitive market?

vortexmagus January 27, 2017 09:57AM

Exactly, so please don't use the term "free market"

Kstatida January 27, 2017 01:15PM

But what do we call your wife's vagina then? NT

Sam January 28, 2017 04:52PM

Think you meant dessert. (n/t)

Matrik January 28, 2017 05:14PM

Not when you give head. Dryer than a dessert. NT

Sam January 28, 2017 05:53PM

2/10 for effort.

Matrik January 28, 2017 06:21PM

C'mon, that's at least a 4/10 for the original subject line. NT

Sam January 28, 2017 06:38PM

No market is perfectly free and competitive, but functionally people advocate for deregulation of markets all the time. (n/t)

vortexmagus January 27, 2017 11:26PM

Please specify "people"

Kstatida January 28, 2017 12:57AM

Trump and Putin, to name two prominent ones. Their policies on oil and gas, in particular, are globalist and push deregulation. (n/t)

vortexmagus January 28, 2017 04:08PM

free market n/t

jalim January 27, 2017 01:39PM

This: but redistribution also tricky to implement without making it unfair for hardworking middle class or reducing incentives (n/t)

starbright January 26, 2017 10:01PM

Redistribution will ALWAYS reduce incentives.

It's a good article

Flipside Oreo January 24, 2017 04:29AM

That's a good article, I enjoyed reading it. Do you have more such articles from similar perspectives?

starbright January 24, 2017 12:20AM

I mean I agree with you on every count

vortexmagus January 24, 2017 04:55AM

I propose "Democratic Objective-Setting with Technocratic Execution" form of government

starbright January 24, 2017 05:53AM

Well that's a good question, but I can't think of any that are English-speaking.
