Was globalism a thing the past 200 years?

No. The game has changed the past couple of decades and we haven’t kept up.

"Globalism" has a malleable definition, but in many of them, yes.

You think international relations and purported conspiratorial groups just started? Just look at the big CT references like the Illuminati and Rothschilds. Those things didn't start up just recently, per the CTs.

The question is how much excess executive authority the USSC will give him. Biden got 0 and that was a huge victory for all of us. Reversing that means the next Biden can do extreme silliness like loan forgiveness out of irrelevant statutes.


Dude, they don't care about what the next Democratic POTUS could do with these expanded powers that Trump keeps pushing the envelope on.

They are populists.

Which means that they refuse to think even one step ahead and you're asking them to think 3-4 steps ahead.

Populism is the most immature political ideology possible and this is the reason why. Delayed gratification and impulse control is actually vilified in populism.

I’ll grant you it’s always existed to a degree, but not in current scope and scale.

Now you have the EU, WTO, and UN all bought in pushing it. Not some isolated group most people never heard of.

And that’s happened just within the past decade or so. That’s the change we need to adjust to.

And Congress can’t even get off their arse to fund the government.

Again, it depends on how you define "globalism"

Go research the Bronze Age Collapse. A major reason for that was "globalism" failing. Even back in the 12th century BCE, you had international trade among various city-states over a WIDE area



Those trade agreements, routes, etc. are the same as what's called "globalism" today (with things like the WTO, EU, etc.)

Now you have the EU, WTO,

Which EOs are you citing that don't derive power from a Congressional statute?

As I've shown, ITT, the Trump admin is arguing these tariffs are derived from statutory sources.

I'm not sure. I summarized it earlier

I thought the US Constitution clearly instructs the POTUS regarding his "power"?

My observation is very much present tense.

No one (including me) knows what that future might bring.

Yeah, Trump needs to win this. Congress would never do any of this and couldn't do it the way Trump has.

Thanks for the history lesson, but it tells me you’re missing my point: it’s changed drastically.

Those global organizations exist to tear down US supremacy. The US has to adjust and Congress can’t.

So you disregard clear constitutional text?

I keep saying you need to define it, and you keep dodging and just making claims about this term without meaning.

No country has profited more from those orgs than the US

I don’t think that’s the answer. I’m pointing out the problem and that Congress isn’t the solution since they can’t even keep the light on.
