I was with a group of six guys talking after playing pickleball - 4 of whom were immigrants from Eastern Europe - either Ukraine, Russia, or Poland. The conversation came around the war and the consensus was that Putin is an a-hole and Zelensky is a puppet for the globalists.

The guy from Ukraine considers himself to be Russian, but hates Putin AND he hates the people he calls Nazis that are fighting for Ukraine.

He says the Globalists are afraid that there are not enough resources for the present population and that western countries cannot continue to monopolize these resources, so they are trying to set up a future where everyone is poor, has nothing, and nobody except the ruling class has any material things.

The war in Ukraine could be the start of a hard turn in that direction, if we don't reign these folks in. Interesting take from a group that has seen a lot of shite...

Pickleball is like ping pong, except you play on top of the table.

My neighborhood has an absurd number of pickleball courts and not enough tennis courts, so I'm dabbling in it.

Please explain the connection between this:

And this:

This has been the plan of the globalist for a very long time. They were slowly moving in this direction while everyone was basically like “frogs in a simmering pot waiting to be boiled”, BUT WHEN OUR GREAT ORANGE LEADER flipped them upside down/exposed and woke the rest of the level headed Americans & world up, they began to expedite Plan B which is obviously more aggressive and in our faces.

Although I’ve been woke ever since Obama came on the scene & I started researching and connecting the dots, i never realized how deep it was until Trump came on the scene. I used to believe we still had some solid republicans on our side, but he exposed the UNIPARTY & that’s why they cannot and will not let him win again.

Doesn't that describe the the European Model for Society in the middle ages. Land and Property owners, those who worked for them, and beggars.

This is pretty standard and the widely accepted view of their goals.

Who isn’t a “globalist?” I’m holding my iPhone engineered in California and made in China, wearing clothes likely each made in a different country, and it can look around and everything I see is from somewhere far away.

If we don’t have and maintain global trade and relationships, none of this is possible.

What would an “anti-globalist” do?

The only thing that would be missing is a type of Hunger Games.
