Debate on Globalism vs Nationalism
Define globalism for us, and then I wanna understand
why are people on the left globalists and people on the right
nationalists? Why is this a right left argument?
I don't understand that.
It's a question of, of people who believe in sovereignty,
uh, versus people who believe in a world
government.
And you can document what began after...
You know, the big break was after World War I, where the
elites actually decided, "Hey,
how are we gonna continue to control the population when it's
growing?" Okay?
Okay.
"And when all of these nations out there, particularly in the developing
sector of the Third World, think, you know,
they have a right to development as
opposed to us actually being able to loot them?" So they
set up a whole kind of idea, uh, if you just go back
and look at this character, uh, you know, uh,
Lippmann, okay?
Okay.
Who, you know, decided that people need propaganda
by the elites to actually create the basis by
which the big bankers and the old families
of Europe, what we call the oligarchy, could actually continue to
control people. Not through force of arms.
All right? That wasn't what they said.
They said, "What we need to do is to figure out how to actually
have a propaganda apparatus run by the
foundations and the elites, which allow us to
subvert any notion that people come back to this idea that
nations are sovereign and they have a right to absolute
development."
And most of them are really, like, you know, old
school, what we call Malthusians.
That, that is that they think that populations shouldn't
grow,
that the resources in nature are completely limited-
Okay
... uh, and that the way that they can exert control
is by making sure they
keep it that way.
Um, the American system view, on the other hand, is, "Oh,
no. Hey, human beings are inherently creative.
Screw you." Um, and we can redefine our
resources by actually figuring them out scientifically and
technologically, and that's what we're gonna do.
That's the American way as, as... has sort of been
that way throughout our history. Frontiersmen, all right?
The people who actually conquer new frontiers, the people who actually
think that the world is a developing place,
and we should be happy about that,
not trying to constrain it so that our system can
control everything.
