Globalism: An Opinion Piece

George W regarding globalism:

“We cannot wish globalism away”

 “recover our own identity”

“Our identity as a nation, unlike many other nations, is not determined by geography or ethnicity, by soil or blood,” he said. “Being American involves the embrace of high ideals and civic responsibility.”

Dear W,

No we can't wish globalism away. By the same token you cannot wish it into the heart and soul of the very nation you are encouraging to recover her own identity.

You can't have it both ways. 

On the one hand you're pushing an agenda that will take away our identity.
On the other hand you're telling us to recover it.

If that makes sense to anybody, I'd sure like to hear how.

ps: was that reference to soil and blood accidental?


The above are some thoughts shared by a past President, and a few of my thoughts on his words.


If you've read DANANN you likely picked up on some of my thoughts on issues related to globalism.

While I'm not overly fond of the concept and hope to not see it happen any time soon, part of me is sad to realize that we may well drive ourselves to it - and then have to cope with the consequences.

It will not work.

Which is neither here nor there because it will be forced upon us eventually regardless.

Anybody who thinks they're going to come out ahead during or after the process is wishful dreaming.

NOBODY is going to 'win' the war that will go along with it.

I, of course, have no idea what's going to happen. I write fiction for pete's sake.

But in the course of writing fiction I also take a good long hard look at what is real. What is real today and what has been real in the past (so far as we know it) of humanity.

The people who are pushing for world-wide communism, or at least socialism, are chock full of baloney. Neither one of them works. And democracy only works on a limited scale.

Yet, what is going to happen when finally we push ourselves over the edge, or are pushed there by forces beyond any human control?

Whoever survives with the most resources is likely to try to dominate all of the other survivors.

And they'll likely succeed for the most part.

Survival of the fittest ...

And the survivors aren't going to get along any better than anybody does now.

So ...

Not to give my story line away or anything, but someone will rise, try (for good or ill) to impose one form of government, fail utterly, and ultimately each survivor will choose, in the time between the crisis and that of DANANN the book, to which of four closed societies they will go. Closed as in CLOSED. Like sending kids to their separate rooms only on a very big scale, and permanently. For our purposes, those who will not choose are granted the Isles of Earth and can roam at will. Everyone else is happily ensconced in whichever closed culture their survivor ancestors chose at the time of choosing. Except, of course, those who have gone Hiving in the stars.

Yeh.

I write fiction.

I also don't see any great big hope for success in getting everybody in the whole wide world on the same page any time soon.

The kicker, the irony, as I see it is that the very folk who are pushing 'identity politics' are the self-same ones who are pushing a globalist government that would effectively erase any identity at all. How is that supposed to work? Can you not make up your mind, are you of two minds about it, have you lost both of said minds and are you trying to find them? Helpful hint: the stronger mind will survive, hide from you for eternity, and you will remain mindlessly questing for a utopia that does not exist forever and ever amen.
