Globalization and globalism are two different things. Trade and immigration are two different things.

Is China starting to worry about the environment. Rule of law and patient protection? Is japan allowing vast amounts of immigration? Does Europe pay for its military protection?

Really? And who might be "leading" this globe? No one has asked even THAT yet? To whom we shall be surrendering this Earth?

What the heck is wrong with globalization? We ALL long for the familiar, the nostalgic, but in order to advance humanity we need to work as HUMANS. Not Chinese, or Americans, or Brasilians. When everyone is interconnected and dependant on each other for trade wars are less likely to happen. Goodbye tribalism, hello human advancement!
