    I dunno.  Maybe the citizens of earth aren't ready to be slaves on the global plantation?  Maybe they are repulsed by the idea of neofeudalism?  Maybe they're frightened by the idea of having no place to hide should the inevitable happen?

    Imagine Nazi Germany on a planetary scale, and maybe you'll get it.

    Because anybody with an ounce of common sense knows globalism means the destruction of the middle class and a full time surveillance state. It is based on the false notion of Liberal Utopianism which in reality only creates a super wealthy upper class and one other low destitute, government dependent class which has no property rights or freedom. It is promulgated by liberal elites who have no connection to reality or the common man, just fairytales. It is a godless demonology used to indoctrinate young minds creating the ultimate zombie drone generation who will no longer have the ability to think critically but only be able to parrot the words racist, xenophobe etc. People are waking up because they see the results of liberalism/communism all over the globe: endless debt, open border terrorism, geopolitical chaos and China becoming the leader of the world. The only reason globalism has gotten this far is because of a population's willful ignorance and a media which is nothing more than a statist propaganda machine...

    That's a whole lot of information packed into a single paragraph, and every bit of it is spot on!  Well done!

    Why? It's because there is no honest money anywhere in the world. There are only worthless paper coupons issued by each country, and the only reason they have any value at all is that the issuing government will accept them in payment of taxes.

    The best answer, then, is to conduct one's affairs using alternative media of exchange--like barter, precious metals, etc.?  :-)

    I must say the other answers to this question so far have been impressive in their surfeit of paranoia and lack of empiricism...;-D...

    Are they incorrect?  If so, in what ways?

  • Globalism isn't really a 'thing' on it's own, but rather a consequence of neo-liberalism.  Because that ideology is itself based on more than one faulty premise, globalism tends to work very well for a few, is bearable by quite a lot more, but is fundamentally careless of and disinterested in those most invisible to the powers that be.  This group happens to be a majority, who are just waking up in numbers to the fact that they've been had.
