The last two elections have shown us the two new sides of the constant this or that argument. Globalism is the idea that a one world government ruling over all is needed, and wanted by the people. Globalization is the idea that we can talk to people all over the world and find information without large bureaucracy getting in the way.
Take for example Uber. Everyone who studied it didn't understand how it was doing so well, because the taxi service was pretty much the same. What they didn't see was the bureaucratic control over the taxi service being taken down. The taxi wasn't being changed, the way it worked was.
Almost every job out there is a type of bureaucratic job. You need to talk to a supervisor, or have permissions to do things, and also make sure to document things so others can see what you did. Medical offices hire more paperworker folks than doctors or nurses, and of the nurses and doctors, a lot of their time is making sure the bureaucratic work is done. So the idea that bureaucracy is dying scares people.
Globalism promises the ideas of bureaucracy will continue. Everyone will be a cog in the common machine that needs to do things to make us live comfortable lives. This push is what we see in every advertisement and idea. They then compare life with bureaucracy as comfortable, and forward thinking since everyone is taken care of. Everyone has a place in this world. The opposite means less jobs, less comfort, and the idea that all the forward push by the bureaucrats will be squandered. This type of fear and comparison is used to make people think that 'experts' and 'people in the know' have more expertise and skill than they really do.
The underlying theme is that those who have been in power deserve to continue to be in power. There is a hard push to have a one world power, and then have everyone else underneath that. The emperor of the world won't have that name, but people will look to him like that.
The ideas of globalization is that of constantly moving ideas back and forth. Great things happen, and it benefits anyone who knows about it. A cool meme, or an open source project is only as powerful as the amount of people who know about it. It's not promoted since there is no sense of unity within it. It isn't even a single working group. This creates a large diversity of thoughts, ideas, and jokes. The internet and technology exist because of globalization being so open.
There are starting to be ideas of an internet world, and even a patriotism for it. The globalization of memes, and ideas destroys the idea that people living elsewhere fit into the descriptions given by globalism's demands. No one cares who you are, because you are just text or a funny video. In fact, you can be multiple people, and no one will really care.
Today's inauguration is the sign of what the globalists want with the world. The control, and ability to set everything in place is their greatest desire. So long as they are above others, they feel safe. That's part of the trick, they feel unsafe when equal to others, because their weapons are their place in society. Take that away, and they have nothing. Let them be openly mocked, and have to prove their worth, and it destroys all they have worked for.
It's a war of ideas. One side uses Memes and jokes as a way to convey their thoughts, while the other uses the ideas of experts and officials. Oddly enough, globalism doesn't mind using a lot of the tech globalization could use. It becomes a bad thing to trace someone and find out everything about them. It becomes a bad idea to show where someone lives and how mortal they are. Only officials should be able to use that tech. Open Social Information and other ideas are pretty easy to find and use, but it's talked about as a deadly weapon by one.
Another tactic is the idea that only 'official' people can protest or make comments. The riots had professional and paid rioters in them. We honestly don't know how far that goes because the groups doing these things are probably a lot older than we expect. They use various names, and guises, but are ultimately there to start the looting and attacks as a way to show control over anyone. They can be hired by anyone, and heck, rioting and protests can be done by anyone, but only the 'official' ones will be respected.
What happens next? We will see Globalism's ideas of power and control. They will do everything in their tool belt to keep power. They will stifle the internet as hard as they can. They will work to create a world government, and be the ones ruling it.
Ultimately though, they will lose. You can't uninvent something, nor can you destroy an idea. You can only replace ideas, and inventions with something else. The globalists and their ideas are being replaced, and their inventions are not letting them keep that power. It will likely take decades, but the faces you see now as powerful, will soon enough be forgotten parts of history of people who didn't even know how memes work.
But there will be another problem. Population density is part of the reason why we have so many rules within rules. So many people, right next to each other creates a need to make as many rules as possible. In areas with less density, less rules are needed, but the ability to move about becomes impeded by roads that have the rules of the more dense cities. A small town may not need a stop sign, but a city will need a complex light system. That's the big enemy. Defeat that, and the globalist power dwindles quickly.
In a way, I am thankful for the pandemic shutting things down. All of the tech used to let you work and study at home had been held back by the various bureaucracies as a threat to their systems. Now they are forced to use them. Less traffic happens, because less people need to go to work at the same time. Then we will realize the work needed doesn't need hours filled for most things. Projects can be done, people can work on things, and ideas spread without a need for a central hub, or required work hours. The roads are even more open for those that want to just travel, or go see things.
The genie is out of the bottle, and people are adapting to it quickly. We had a sham of an election, while making the reasons for the bureaucratic system die. The biggest trick now will be to push the idea that travel is a terrible idea. Only 'trusted people' should travel. We need the bureaucratic control to make all this new world safe. That's going to be the big push the next few years. They will try to put the genie back in the bottle by making you stay inside, and work at home, while under bureaucratic control. This works in cities, but farmlands and less dense areas will ignore it. Those areas will have a weird growth, and expansion. The need for a bustling city will slowly die. The people doing this will be practically enemies of the state, and there will be strong handed attempts to stop it. Those places that do will be considered backwaters, and shitholes. We will watch as the city quickly dies, and the power within goes with it. The thing that every Hollywood, google, and Facebook fears is irrelevance.
We will watch it happen for the next few years. So, there, have some hope. Be of good cheer. Those who try to destroy you will destroy themselves.
Globalization is just a stepping stone to global control. It's an indirect and cultural influence, as opposed to the desired overt and political influence that it ends up leading towards. Through subversion these people who support globalization do so under the guise of "diversity" and are either deluded enough to not realize that it directly destroys real diversity or are malevolent enough that they do not care.
It's a little simpler than that.
They're still racists. They cling to whatever form of superiority is socially acceptable.
That's definitely part of it. They happily talk about how sad they are to be superior to others. Those poor unfortunate souls need to stay pure to the made up culture in the dominating mind, and not adapt and become greater. They even apologise and act sad about how vastly better they are than the other.
Bureaucracy isn't really the issue. It's the extent to which it's taken, in the name of control and authoritarianism.
Bureaucracy for the means of keeping records of income, outgoing, Uber pick up points and drop offs, medical histories and so on are all for safety and expediency. No need to repeat that medical test for the fifth time just because you changed hospital.
The problem arises when it changes from being about expediency and quality of life to doing the paper work for paperwork sake. Busybody work. Which is a side effect of modern employment, minimum wages and work position justification.
bureaucratic work is on the insane rise because actual needed work now takes less people.
A field nolonger needs two dozen to tend, just two and a tractor.
I agree with you for the most part. I meant the amount of people doing the paperwork is becoming redundant. The field is so automated the farmer rarely sees it directly, and has a tractor following GPS coordinates. He's covering a much larger area than people realize, with fewer workers. He's also more technology savvy than most folks realize.
It's so different from what people imagine, they don't know how to regulate or even talk about the field, and the work being done. In fact, the people outside the field get kind of angry at how different it is. This includes people trying to take advantage of them. The farmer still has dirt on his hands, but is also keeping up on tech during the winter months.
I separate them in how they use the tech. A modeler can be a person who makes a model using an animation program. Another modeler is someone who created the part of the program to automatically animated hair correctly. Both are working on the same thing, but it's a very different experience. In fact, I sort of wish the second guy was called a simulation ist or modelist, so we can see the different use.
