  1. In one of the most blatant pieces of malevolent corporate greed I've seen, I'm greeted by headlines today that around 2500 seafarers are still stranded in the Persian Gulf, simply because the shipping companies they work for don't want to spend any extra to fly them back to their homes.

  4. We need to adopt this attitude in #Canada. And then we need to extend the principle to #food production, #farming, #agriculture etc. The experiment of #Globalism has failed. Time to become self-reliant, again.

  5. I want to leave both a better #planet for our #legacy be it with a #family or without one in our #name here. As well as leaving a proper pathway for #education to unfold which renews, rather than enforces, each #relationship subsequent legacies have in relation to our unbound potential.

    I am a #realist and what I see are people not recognizing that #globalism and #nationalism are two halves of the same place that hosts us no matter where we are from. And I #respect that.

  7. Who are these"Globalists" I keep reading about?

    What do they stand for?

    Does anyone know?

    Maybe talk about how globalization is a part of neocolonialism, nazis avoid that word like vampires avoid garlic lol

  9. Sweden's government paid five million kronor to Somalia to increase deportations to the country, according to an investigation by newspaper Dagens Nyheter. The money is said to have financed three positions at the Somali government office and according to DN's sources, the jobs have gone to relatives of people in the prime minister's inner circle.

  10. Does anyone have good #book recommendations about how the current advantages of #globalism would be handled under #anarchism?

  11. When Argentina needed help to deal with its financial problems, the IMF, World Bank, and West said no and demanded austerity and selling off state assets to (quelle surprise) their corporations. Now, Milei's own plans have been proven hollow and destructive, dingbats like Trump are dumping $20B to save their prize winning donkey in Buenos Aires. Socialism of the rich. #finance #globalism #corruption #Argentina #USpolitics #Trumpism

  12. That nations are being run like businesses has the results we are seeing around us. This isn’t just a metaphor, it’s a set of political and economic choices that have shaped much of the world over the last few decades. This approach usually borrows from corporate management styles, profit-driven thinking, and market-based solutions, often prioritising short-term financial “efficiency” over broader social, cultural, and environmental goals.

    Running a country like a business changes the logic of governance. It can bring some efficiency and fiscal discipline, but it often treats citizens as consumers, public goods as market commodities, and the national budget as a balance sheet — which tends to undermine the social, environmental, and democratic goals that don’t show immediate “profit.”

    The results we are now seeing include:

    - Erosion of public trust – Citizens feel like customers, but “service” is inconsistent and democratic participation shrinks. The Social Contract upon which Western Democracies is based has now been eroded to such a degree in many states as to be worthless.

    - Rising inequality – Profits from privatisation flow to investors, not evenly to the public.

    - Short-termism – Like quarterly earnings reports, political cycles favour quick wins over long-term investment (e.g., climate adaptation).

    - Weakened public services – Health, education, and transport lose capacity when profit overrides public benefit.

    - Environmental costs – Business-style governance often prioritises GDP growth over sustainability, leading to over-extraction and climate damage.

    Present day models for governance are destroying the Social Contract and undermining the possibilities to build sustainable and equitable societies.

  13. Here's an interesting take on #globalism and some perceived "need" for #standards: the Swiss #flag 🇨🇭 is square, and the Nepali flag 🇳🇵is stacked triangles but in many cases you'd never know it since they're forced to fit the same rectangle as the Union Jack 🇬🇧 and #US 🇺🇲 #flags

  14. Thomas James, AME minister, escaped slavery. He says as a Black person, when he goes among religious who are “enlightened”, there’s still a cold current of neglect. He cannot call himself a part of this.

    Any communities today that feel this is necessary, lest inclusion, or speaking up against neglect, offend the majority?

    How can you create atmospheres surcharged with sympathy for others?

  15. #trump’s #reciprocaltariffs were not calculated using actual tariffs, why drop a global recession bomb?

    #globalism: 80 years building a world economy, is a hate-invoking #fascist rally cry (with #woke,#DEI, and #immigrant )

    Devalue the dollar, so the #USA will once again be cheap labor:

  16. @RealJournalism @samiamsam This is an important benefit of globalism: we can ostracize countries who are misbehaving and it hurts them in their wallets.

  17. I have this thought for some time and now I need some questions answered.

    I noticed that quite often good ideas like #foss #privacy #sustainability and others develop features of a religion, in particular in the form of blaming and pointing fingers inside the community on everyone who is "not ... enough".

    I'm looking for a proper term to popularize and normalize the idea that doing little is better than doing nothing.

  18. John Eliot was an (American) Puritan missionary to First Nations peoples. Wicked treatment of the Pequot hardened them to the English and to all (Western) religion.

    I’m sure I’ve heard some gripe about being told not to use harsh language in interacting with people of other religions.

    How can you show humanity?

  19. @zynaesthesie #cdu ganz nah an der #remigration idee, #mauerbau & rassistischem #Terrorstaat. Dass es kein Recht auf absolute Sicherheit auf Kosten v #freiheit gibt, Sicherheit im Leben eh eine Illusion ist & jede terrorattacke heute v #populisten wie #merz nur genutzt wird, um den staatlichen Machtapparat zu vergrößern:

  20. Wait, people think that thinking globally is a bad thing?

  21. Tussen #musk en Farage bloeit een vriendschap op: naar verluidt is de miljardair van plan 100 miljoen te doneren volkskrant.nl/buitenland/tusse Per saldo hét succesnummer van de Vrije Wereld: een autocratische olicharch die het met de #rechtsstaat niet zo nauw neemt, aan #globalism zijn verdienmodel ontleent en koketteert met #souvereinen en #nationalisten

  22. Samuel Rutherford commissioned the Westminster Assembly. There are some uses for painted men, but no reason to whitewash your faith. Faith is resting on Christ. Love is cleaving to God to please him and neighbor.

    Do some instead take pride in offending the neighbor, or limit the word to be members of a clan limited by ethnicity or ideology?

    How can you cleave to God and please him and our neighbor?

  23. The #left has a major crisis in both the #US and the #UK. Many so-called "leftist" media turn out to be unconditionally #proIsrael. But #Israel under #Netanyahu is KNOWN to be far right state. #Chomsky even called it a Judeo-Nazi state.

    #left, at least in the US, means #Liberalism which embraces #globalism, #socialjustice, #humanrights, #religiousfreedom, #racialtolerance, ...

    Media, like #theAtlantic, are spreading #Islamophobic and #antiMuslim messages... What are they actually?

    How do the rich and powerful stay rich and powerful? Part of it is exploiting cheap labor. Now you can do it too, according to Jake Tran in this video.

  29. 💯📜 Geopolitical era is worse than a new cold war

    The liberal toolkit didn’t just fail to change the dictators. It’s now being weaponised against the West.
    By Misha Zelinsky

    「In 2000, then-US president Bill Clinton declared that alongside free trade, “liberty will spread by cell phone and phone modem”.

    Twenty-three years later, the results are in. And they’re not good.

    Thanks to free markets, dictatorships are far richer and technologically advanced than during the Cold War. Meanwhile, digital tools have perfected the evil arts of censorship, surveillance and oppression.

    But the liberal toolkit didn’t just fail to change the dictators. It’s now being weaponised against us.」

    「The stark reality leaves free societies facing a series of wicked dilemmas. Should we help the Chinese Communist Party become rich given its ambitions for global totalitarianism? Do we care if Russia becomes a client state of China? Should these dictatorships enjoy access to global information systems given their record of hacking and disinformation?」

  30. ☝️ Great summary about democratic backsliding towards authoritarianism

    IMO democracies must *together* start supporting their weaker fellow democracies while making the life of despots more expensive rather than giving the increasingly networking authoritarians a free ride with trade, finance and technology.

  31. The main point of conflict I see between #SolarPunk and #NeoIdealism is economic structure.

    #SolarPunk has a strong #anticapitalism streak, that asserts #Capitalism is incompatible with surviving #ClimateChange and #SocialJustice

    #NeoIdealism might be able to embrace and subsume this critique by including domestic #SocialJustice and #sustainability as key values, and thus essential constraints on #Globalism and #Growth

  32. Someone please remind me again why, after trashing the #JointDeclaration with #UnitedKingdom which supposedly "guaranteed" civil freedoms and #humanrights for #Hongkongers, the #Chinese #dictatorship is still allowed to use the territory as a trojan horse to manipulate global trade and finance?

    Btw. it was 'interesting' how during the #wuhan Covid pandemic lockdowns when regular citizens-turned-subjects lived under draconian restrictions and quarantine orders, visiting foreign financiers and industrialists (i.e. collaborators) were awarded a free pass...

    Quite the 'proletarian revolution' you got there! That really showed the 'capitalist running dogs', right?

    Because the CCP princelings and clans would never turn into a supercluster of robber barons. Like, never-ever.
