So nationalism is self self-centred egoism and globalism is self-destructive lunacy.

Damn this video was one of ur best ones definitely. The music inputs with the conclusion‘s speeches was such a good ending. Great, informative and thought provoking. 10/10

Thank you for making an unbiased video about globalism and nationalism. I think it would have been better to see the advantages and disadvantages of nationalism and globalism presented in a debate format, just like you debated other theories with John. But still thank you again for this insightful presentation. Laslty, I would say that Philosophy Vibe is one of my favourite channels. So, I'm giving this super thanks to you. And I also gave another super thanks in your video about shopping cart theory. Please also check that out.

Fantastic and clear summary of the current political divide. One important point I feel is the power of violence we give to the government. While I personally may be willing to live more humbly for the benefit of others, I do not condone the government’s right to force me to do so. Where does one’s consent to be governed encroach on the individual’s right to life, work, and property.

As David Graeber says about globalism in his interview with Charlie Rose, "we don't consider international corporations exploiting the third world to be true globalism". Bourgeois internationalism is qualitatively distinct from proletarian internationalism.

You should read Harpal Brar's "Bourgeois Nationalism vs Proletarian Internationalism".

Amazing video.

My recent dive into the political world has made me start thinking hard about this topic, I often find myself transposing between being a Globalist today and a Nationalist the next day. The majority of those transpositions however were spent as a Nationalist, mostly because I think it's naive to assume that lowering your guard as a nation in the name of progress, inclusion, and humanity will make other nations do the same, especially if these countries consider you a competition/rival.

I think if globalism is at all to become a reality, it will be because all individual nations have become so secure and trusting of each other, and they now see no reason for borders and boundaries. But this vision of the future seems only feasible in fiction stories and movies with happy endings, and not what you can see in reality.

Thank you for your perspective. One of many perspectives of truth seen through the eyes of limitation.

[timbeck]

Well done and thank you for your "over all" cohesive and concise explanation. Mind boggling is an understatement! "The Game is a foot..."

This is really the most exciting and needed video of today's time!! 🥲👌🏻🥂

I've known about it since years but with different terms.. Nationalism vs. Internationalism i read more as in India, we had freedom strugglers with both the ideologies but nationalism was / is more popular and known around us i feel 🤔

But, soon i got to know about those freedom strugglers and leaders who carried Internationalism in their core even during 18th-19th centuries when British ruled India and still some leaders had that far and wide vision of a 'one world' for all which really captured my attention as what a Buddhist is taught since childhood about treating every being as our own brothers and sisters 🫶🏻🤍

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the perfect example of such a leader who thinks of the whole world for a peaceful state and happiness while still keeping his own Tibetan community safe and preserved! 🌟

In my opinion so far, i believe in what His Holiness believes in the political lens as we all know his ocean of wisdom and compassion with ancient Indian wisdom along with modern scientific approach to make the best of both worlds 🌎🙏🏻

Therefore, maybe I'm on the middleway as what Buddha taught to reject the two extremes!

Still, somewhere deep down I'm more inclined towards globalism for now due to the need of the hour or maybe due to my short-sightedness IDK 🥲

I'll lie on 50-50 to 75-25 of globalism - nationalism in the coming years I'm sure!! 🤔🫣

Global warming is my top concern as we got only 4-5 years to not touch the few degrees of rise in global temperature which is why I'm vocal on veganism and green energy too ✌🏻🌱

Also, a culture exchange is really healthy in many aspects i feel to educate and aware ourselves of the differences and culture shocks we have around us while preserving our different cultural identity as well since my motherland i.e., Ladakh got really unique and rich culture and traditions to celebrate!

Thus, a perfect world is possible for sure with loyalty, trust, and care for each other from our own locality till global scale but it'll take time and effort for sure with some sacrifices to be made.. and the sacrifices must be done on the material parts which are unnecessary or fall on the greed part more than our needs; not to be made on humanity and making a chaotic world due to misunderstanding of the globalist's approach with weak skillfulness 🥹🤞🏻

May all beings find genuine transcendental happiness and shuns all miseries in lives 🌱🙏🏻🌎

P.S. a leader / union with an ultimate wisdom + compassion for all with a great skillfulness is needed the most for a perfect world keeping both in balance ⚖️🤞🏻

I first watched this channel in 2017/2018, I loved the clear voice and rational thought that I could find, however in 2020 I suffered what was about to become a 2.5 year long schizophrenic episode that would after getting better still make me lose most of my interests, from philosophy and politics, to gaming and relationships (I was nr. 7 in europe in the game Overwatch). I am happy that you are still making content and my mind always longs again for the times where it felt like I had a complete system by which I could understand difficult problems and the world. I'm a libertarian, compatibilist, , existentialist neo-Kantian.

The issue with globalism is that we are not lifting up other countries to our level of prosperity. We are being dragged down to their level of poverty. We are importing the third world and becoming the third world.

You guys always deliver topics really clearly. I always love when people are able to do that. Although I don’t know a ton about politics, I think the argument you gave made sense. I think it can definitely be argued that the political divide is shaping into a globalist vs nationalist one. Granted, I don’t have a ton of evidence, but it seems likely, especially in regards to Trump and Harris. He’s always been an “America First” type of politician and she seems to be more of a globally focused politician. Although nobody will always perfectly align into one camp or the other, I think your argument made sense overall. Very well done!

[sylvann]

Id say that the "two sides fighting the most" is definitly an oversimplification. There can be three factions with different ideologies in equal proportion for example.

Two-party factionalism is generally a result of our first-past-the-post voting system

[mpen]

I was too drunk to appreciate this And this is so serious

[Conorize]

In my view, longer form videos are where this channel really excels. You can do any topic, just make more long videos! :-)

[evad]

Good video. Globalism has been around for a lot longer than you seem to imply. I refer, for example, to the
Settembrini character in Magic Mountain and to utterances of Bertrand Russell in the 1950s.

[mbmurphy]

The question around Ukraine is “what is the endgame”? Is Ukraine really going to be able to “defeat” Russia? There’s no way without committing NATO forces. Committing NATO forces likely means nuclear escalation. Could Putin fall? Maybe, but it’s more likely that a more nationalist hardliner would take his place than some kind of pro western liberal democrat. All of those guys have been killed off over the last 20 years.

We are quite lucky that the Ukrainian invasion into Kursk didn’t result in the release of at least tactical nuclear weapons.

I’m really surprised at how simplistic your presentation is in these matters. Generally, your videos are really well thought out.

Obviously, there are more sophisticated reasons to have doubts about how the Ukrainian war is going than “just not interested in Ukraine, or helping out the global order, only interested in selfish local concerns”.

[xshortyx]

This was f*cking brilliant. Thank you.

The way i see it goes something like this "Poland (Nation-state based upon particularism)" and "European Union (Empire based upon universalism). Particularism means ancestry, universalism means non-ancestry.
