What's wrong with "globalism"?

Not at all.....it's why you support globalism so much.
Of course globalism is against borders on principle. But there is nobody in American politics, nobody at all, who "screeches "NAZI!!! LIKE LITERALLY HITLAH!!!" at the very mention of having borders or any sort of immigration enforcement policy." Nor is there anybody who "is pushing for censorship, persecution of religious beliefs and disarming of citizenry." Gun control is an unfortunately feeble movement here, and never demands a complete ban. And, no, shaming caterers who won't do gay weddings is not "persecution of religious beliefs," and trying to shout down hate speech is not "censorship." "Cancel culture" is not censorship either.

This is what "cancel culture" is.

Glad we're here.....that makes it's supporters against the USA, on principle.
Nations do not need borders to exist. Nations do not even need nation-states to exist. If the EU ever evolves to the point where we can no longer call its member nations independent, France will still be France and Germany will still be Germany. Nothing worth keeping will have been lost. Likewise if all nations are merged in a world state. To be against American independence is not to be against the USA -- no more than to be against capitalism is to be against the USA. (Capital has no nation anyway.)

What's wrong with nationalism is that it demands an independent state for every nation.
 
They go to war all the time, for one thing.
That's not nationalist or nation state specific. Sure as fuck not something globalist are shy about using when it benefits them either.

That's not even politically, religious or any other kind of specific. That's all humans everywhere....

So....what's wrong with nation states being a thing?

Union prevents war. Virginia is not always fighting Maryland. As it might well be, if the Constitutional Convention had failed to come up with something.
 
For those who are brilliant, well educated, and well connected globalism means lucrative professional and investment opportunities and inexpensive servants. For the rest of us globalism means that good jobs are hard to get, hard to keep, and they pay less while they last.

Is globalism, then, just another name for capitalism?

Nations need border for the people inside them to be able to exercise political control. Or to practice politics in any meaningful way. The problem with globalism is not the diminishing importance of borders, but the governance models imposed on the new spaces.

The problem with globalism is that it removes most issues of industrial and economic policy from the democratic system and places them in unelected elite institutions beyond democratic control. Smaller institutions, like a commission or governing board, will always be more amenable to corruption and influence from concentrated wealth, i.e. large corporations and the ultrarich.
 
The Apache are a nation, so are the Uyghurs and the Kurds. It's OK, they can just obey the laws imposed on them by the ruling party.
