Then the US is one of the least fascist or nationalist countries in the world given the relative ease w/r/t outsourcing labor, importing immigrant labor, and lack of protectionist trade policies.

Coincidentally wages have stagnated, unions mostly died out, and wealth inequality has skyrocketed during the same time frame the policies supporting these things were enacted. But I guess on the plus side a tiny fraction of the US got even richer and the yacht industry is doing well. Japan/Korea/China/etc. all managed booming economies with pretty hilariously protectionist policies during the same period.

I'm okay with protectionist policies but also think that legal immigration should be pretty easy for anybody who's law-abiding, possesses A Skill of any kind, and doesn't have ties to extremists of some kind.

Basically anybody that will make a living as not a career criminal and is unlikely to do a terrorism or start a weird rape cult or something.

I'm criticizing your 19th century economics not your actual age. Sorry if you're sensitive about being older than most posters here, but it's not your physical age that's at issue and sorry if you feel insulted about that.

Globalism is inevitable. The more you struggle against it the worse it is going to be for you. Sorry, but building walls isn't going to stop th e""" globalists""". We all have to adapt to the new world where the old divisions of race and nation just don't apply the same way anymore. THe only people who really have a problem with that tend to be racists and nationalists. Sorry if you feel unfairly labeled, but them's the facts.

you see, when a company gets so large it begins to be able to avoid paying taxes through foreign corporations itself owns this is why its called transnational, this allows it to exploit local areas all over the world while not giving back to the municipalities from which is benefits

now this is important, you cannot claim to have no knowledge of this financial instrument in the future

globalisation of capital may be inevitable but the erosion of national borders is far more uncertain. there is nothing making it impossible for nations to enforce their borders, much as that may be unpopular with those who want to let in the world for moral reasons and those who want a flood of cheap labour which will probably be worthless in 30 years as automation accelerates anyway. obviously that may have some negative impacts like certain services low-skill labour performs being more expensive, but since major industries using low-skill labour have already relocated those jobs out of high-cost developed nations anyway it's not going to cripple economies. i can think of nothing more likely to provoke ultra-nationalism and horrible regimes once we hit any kind of economic turmoil than just giving in to the eradication of national boundaries.
