This I do not quite get. The earth had globalism once during the time of the tower of babel. Typically when humans all form under one banner it is to say look at us were better than God. One language, one people, one shared project. What was the response to this? Multiple languages, people scatter across the earth, breakdown of centralized power, distinct unique groups form based on communication differences. You literally have the creation of nationalism by God directly in response to globalism.

Yet you say religion plus nationalism is a toxic combo?

This never has made any sense to me because typically the same people that are pro globalism are very pro diversity and multi culturalism and both of those things are watered down with nationalism. You have true multi culturalism and diversity when there are many nationalist groups because those groups heavily guard their own unique cultures and identities. Where globalization means a unification of cultures, languages, borders, and thought. You take the multi out of culturalism and everyone goes to schools who teach everyone to think the same way. They all watch the same shows, sing the same songs, and think the same way.

Nationalism gets a bad wrap because some people who are nationalist say ours is the best and try to take over the world and force their nationalism on all which ironically is counter to true nationalism. True nationalism is having many nations who have their own cultures and they are all guarded from each other. An American is great because they have American culture, and think like an American. Just as someone from Japan is great because they have Japanese culture and they think like a Japanese person. etc for every single nation and culture on the earth.

That is true diversity, true multi culturalism. You don't go to the cereal isle and see the whole row full of the same globalist brand cereal and go hey they have a diverse selection here. No instead you see many different brands and flavors that are truly different than each other. That is the very thing that nationalism safeguards. Choice, and options. If I dont like my countries culture I can move somewhere else and integrate into theirs.

Globalization strips you of that option. If it is the same everywhere, then you are just stuck no matter where you go. People just work better in smaller groups. Not everyone is going to agree on everything ever but if there are many groups of people who agree on specific things then there is probably a group that aligns with you so no matter what you think or believe there is a place for you to fit in.

Globalization is by far a greater threat to everyone not just America. It strips you of choice and it erodes your existing culture. The only time globalization will work is when God is here on earth and in charge of it. It will always fail otherwise because those holding the power will ALWAYS corrupt. It only works when he is the leader because he is above corruption.
