Trade and cooperation and building the institutions for this is the foundation of globalism. I believe strongly in this type of globalism. That's what I mean about ignoring the security concerns of constituents. The system only works if it works for everyone. But we can build such a system. Nationalism is not the answer.

I'm a fan of Chinese cinema. All their movies are concentrated around the idea of One China. The movie "Hero," for example was the main character played by Jet Li, sacrificing his life to allow the most powerful warlord to unite the battling factions under one ruler- One China. So, no.
But now you are saying a multipolar world is a "globalist model?" That is complete nonsense that you are pulling out your ass. In fact, that statement is such a stupid you've exposed yourself.Black with a Small Hat

Yes a multipolar world is a globalist model. Nationalism is basically each nation seeking unipolarity and dominance. Americans are nationalists and our form of globalism caters to our interests. It's not the only form of globalism. Both Putin and Xi have given speeches on the merits of globalism. They just envision a more fair system with power shared among the great powers rather than squarely in western multinational companies.

When Putin recently castigated globalism, he was speaking specifically about American neoliberal globalism. He is not against global institutions of cooperation and trade. He is not against a global economy. There are no merits to absolute protectionism and isolation.Last edited by fistnazis4fun; 09-04-2022 at 10:27 PM.

Once again, my reference to Trotskyism.....what you think globalism is and should be is NOT what is actually practiced. American neo-liberalism IS the current iteration of globalism as you admitted. Any other discussion is a theoretical that doesn't exist in reality.

That is what Xi and Putin are trying to build. Nationalism being paramount leads to world wars. We've already been down that road. Sovereignty will only be respected when each constituent feels their grievances are justly addressed. Russia is openly violating Ukraine's sovereignty right now. Sovereignty being paramount is what the Ukrainian nationalists say when they pass racist laws against the Russians and won't let them separate.
What we need is a new kind of globalism. And we need sensible regulation of our multinationals along with social welfare programs to soften the blow of economic changes. Trump's model is flawed in this regard. He wants to use protectionism to try to stop the inevitable. What he should be doing is increasing social welfare so the multinational corporations that profited can share their profits with the country. We also need to be responsible and not plunder foreign nations.

Dont care what side you support.
You are (were) the poster child of all that stinks in the world, putting as much effort as you suggest, into an information war you have no business in, at the expense of your actual self and those immediately in your care or in your surroundings.
You are the personification of the Jordan B Peterson "Clean your room" meme = you're an NPC.
Good riddance....and according to which an ensign might rank incomparably higher than a general, and according to which what was needed for success in the service was not effort or work, or courage, or perseverance, but only the knowledge of how to get on with those who can grant rewards, and he was himself often surprised at the rapidity of his success, and at the inability of others to understand these things

I think wincel had finally found the key to getting to 1k post without a ban.
How many post before new threads are made now?

It's obvious the Ukrainians are making progress. The bridges are destroyed and no anti air vehicles can be delivered to Kherson region. It's a turkey shoot for Bayraktar. Daily new videos of them smoking tanks

It's just senseless dying against superior weapons rn, hope the russians see the tide has turned in a couple of weeks/months and this senseless war will stop.

Yes their country is in the process of falling apart because of this. Now of all things discount Thatcher Liz Truss is going to become PM to be next who has to deal with the mess, poor brits.
There were so many people somehow thinking brexit would be a good idea, on this forum that was also the general opinion. It makes me think many bros just want to promote what they think is an "alpha move" instead of being reasonable. That's also why there are so many putinshills on this forum. They somehow think what Putin does is an alpha move.
