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.
