re: Can you love America and be a Globalist?

No. Globalism means surrendering our hard-earned political and economic sovereignty. It is fueled by greed and worship of money. It means American jobs and industry gets sent overseas, and that undeserving foreigners benefit from American ingenuity and hard work. It's wealth redistribution.

Globalist seems to just be the preferred insult of Trump supporters who get tired of cuck being auto-corrected to cock on their smart devices.

When people throw it out it usually has no meaning

But if like me you define globalism as all of the world becoming more interconnected in Reliance on each other both socially and economically then I'm all for it

Some people think saying America First is anti globalist but that's silly. Every leader in every nation should say their own variation of America first. British leader should say Great Britain first. French leaders should say France first

Correct on both points

I don't see anything wrong with having national pride and I certainly don't see anything wrong with trading with other countries.

On the flip side there is such a thing as being "too nationalist" as well. It's one of my concerns with Trump. We don't need to try to move to a more isolationist economy with stupid shite like trade wars.

Leave that to dumb arse socialist dictators.

well of course

Given geopolitical realities, I'd prefer America led globalism rather than China. Globalization will occur whether we want it or not. Unless you can ensure that other countries won't take advantage of you, decentralization for it's own sake is a terrible idea, geopolitically.

And this is the problem ^^^^^^, the US literally cut its economic balls off and our future security when our government and corporate lobbyists decided it was a good idea to modernize China's economy to make a few short sighted bucks. Why would any superpower create another superpower? We could have brought China along at a slow and metered pace but we decided to share high tech manufacturing and industrial technologies with a communist country that is now capable of producing advanced electronics, composite materials, metals, etc. The corporate Globalists consider themselves citizens of the world and can live wherever they want so if America becomes a shithole because of short sighted Swamp policy they can just locate themselves anywhere in the world they desire, the Hollywood elites have the same beliefs.
