G-20
protesters gathering in Hamburg to make an anti-globalism statement
may have an ally inside in President Donald Trump. A real
America-first policy must be anti-globalist implicitly to be true.
There
are many pro and con points for globalism. Communications today have
made globalism a fact. The effort is to keep political sovereignty
locally in order that democracy can continue to exist instead of
networked planetary plutonomy.
Ecologically
speaking there are innumerable inefficiencies that waste energy and
resources in shipping everything about globally. Its damaging to the
ecological sustainability of the world, yet leaders really don't
think about that much. While they talk up global warming measures
they promote trade policies that contribute to the anthropocene mass
extinction. They could place a global warming tax on fossil fuel
vehicles and a moratorium on electric vehicle taxes, yet money
matters more than change.
British
P.M. Theresa may talks about stopping terrorist financing, yet that
is basically the entire Muslim world, China and about everyone
besides the United States and Europe (except for dissenting
communists). Everyone in the globalism era has an interest in
bumping off the U.S. and Europe economically and politically.
Terrorism supports economic empowerment for non-western powers.
Fundamentally the concern about terrorist financing that any G-20
leaders will have would actualize as victimization of their own
citizens in ways that would accelerate the transfer of wealth from
the poor and middle classes to the most rich.
Because
the G-20 powers are concerned largely about making the most rich
richer they will enact more policies that appeal to planetary
populists for economic purposes, allow Europe to become Muslim and
continue to attack the U.S.A. and President Trump for having a
different idea. He shall find it difficult to resist their desire to
annex Ukraine and Russia unto Europe with an eye on the vast mineral
wealth of Siberia.
Human
nature and original sin haven’t evolved away. People still want
personal consumer comforts and real estate, cars in the yard and good
health care. Mostly they have become unconcerned about politics
except to appeal for more for-themselves. They tend not to care about
public debt. Those attitudes are developed and exploited by the G-20
leaders who seek just to concentrate wealth. Reproduced billions of
times, those approaches are not good for the prospects of human life
on Earth; "I am selling my kid's bicycles; they have moved up to SUVs".
