I 65% disagree. Not completely. You see, I don't want every country to be an island for its own people. But my view is mostly (but not completely): "Look buddy, we do things this way here. If you don't like it, go somewhere else that do things the way you like it".
Example: A few of the illegal immigrants rescued didn't consider the food Greece gave them religiously proper and some were offended that we had crosses on the beaches they (illegally) landed or there were Christian churches on the camps they were placed. Ohh... sucks to be them. They can go back to their countries if they don't want that food or they are offended that the camps they were being held had a church. Nobody asked them to come here illegally. Here in Chania illegal immigrants torn down one of the small εκκλησακια (small shrines where you put a candle) that we put on the street where traffic accidents claim lives. Nope, I don't want to enrich our cultural traditions with PC rubbish that supports that we remove the churches to not offend 5% of the illegal immigrants (you see, most immigrants were fine with the churches.) Another example is Sweden with the struggles over child marriage ... which was considered only because of the muslims.
I am also kinda-pro free trade. But globalism is more than just free trade. I also kinda disagree that multi-culti has greater long-term returns as I believe that "preservation of national identity, long-held traditions, cultural norms and viewpoints" is on itself a very important boon and a long-term gain.
All in all I am a moderate anti-globalist.
And to come back to what I started at: With Trump's Republican Circus on the wheel, they won't be able to push too far to get us back in the 1920s when it comes to nationalism. It will simply roll back the crap that is going on with the washing away of national identity and pandering to different cultures, religions and values. Then, the Democrats will show up and push towards multi-culti again. Then back to anti-globalists etc
That way, the "balance" would move more slowly, in smaller steps. There will be 3 steps ahead, 2 steps back and in the end I am more optimistic that it will work better.
Yes, many of us think of that about certain posts here and I most certainly don't mean yours Basilius.
Weeeeell... the world has also never been as morally gray, as leader-deficient, as snowflake-rich (including here the conservative snowflakes, not just the progressive snowflakes) and as decadent as it is now. Also, as mentioned erosion of traditions and national identity is a loss IMO.
We literally live in an era where the number of genders is openly being disputed and incest is becoming legalized.
