what are your thoughts toward nationalism

2018-01-22 03:01:28 UTC  

I don't mind people taking pride of their country, but when it just outright distracts people from issues facing the country then I would have to be against that.

2018-01-22 03:01:50 UTC  

I mean in relation to globalism

2018-01-22 03:02:05 UTC  

What do you mean globalism

2018-01-22 03:02:55 UTC  

would, in your opinion, people benefit from the united states looking over its interests or for people to go where they want

2018-01-22 03:03:11 UTC  

it's hard to explain really

2018-01-22 03:04:00 UTC  

Do you think that the US citizen's interests significantly matter more than the interests of the general person on earth, that's a better way to phrase it

2018-01-22 03:04:13 UTC  

Oh yeah.

2018-01-22 03:04:25 UTC  

I think I know what you mean by globalism. I think of it as neoliberalism

2018-01-22 03:04:31 UTC  

yeah

2018-01-22 03:04:50 UTC  

Yeah, neoliberalism is disastrous

2018-01-22 03:05:30 UTC  

I don't think people get what something like allowing everyone to go anywhere would do

2018-01-22 03:05:56 UTC  

A nation benefits from its essence which can't be obtained elsewhere

2018-01-22 03:06:08 UTC  

having people everywhere go anywhere would just diminish that

2018-01-22 03:06:12 UTC  

Oh that's not what I was thinking of. I was thinking more along the lines of putting the elite's interest over that of the people

2018-01-22 03:06:39 UTC  

I mean that's a byproduct of that

2018-01-22 03:07:24 UTC  

I just think people should make their own nations better, improve their character and culture

2018-01-22 03:07:55 UTC  

Another way to ask the question maybe is, what do you think of multiculturalism, that hits the core

2018-01-22 03:08:04 UTC  

of what I'm asking

2018-01-22 03:08:42 UTC  

I don't know much about it, but I guess I'm fine? Don't really have an opinion on it other than as long as you respect others I respect you

2018-01-22 03:09:14 UTC  

yeah I'm not going to press you on it if you don't care too much

2018-01-22 03:10:59 UTC  

I just think it'd be in the American interest to try maintaining a national character, that being of a more homogenous, english speaking nation with values of entrepreneurship and opportunity ingrained

2018-01-22 03:13:19 UTC  

plus, IMO, who we let in also affects economics to a large degree, I think that if we do have these safety nets, we ought to have them for American citizens, and latino immigrants have a major disposition to taking welfare payments

2018-01-22 03:14:16 UTC  

I think that before we let someone in, we ought to ask "is this person going to put in more than take out" sort of a JFK "ask what you can do for your country" sort of system

2018-01-22 03:14:50 UTC  

I still have no clue as to what you believe when it comes to immigration, so feel free to say whatever

2018-01-22 03:14:52 UTC  

Again, with regard to welfare, just know that your tax money is not going towards government spending. We don't have a scarce amount of money, so it doesn't really matter if that latino immigrant takes more welfare money than an another person

2018-01-22 03:16:13 UTC  

well. that's how one can see it

2018-01-22 03:16:40 UTC  

we'll have to deal with the debt carriers eventually though

2018-01-22 03:16:58 UTC  

anyways, interesting discussion, thanks for speaking your mind

2018-01-22 21:15:47 UTC  

Apparently PA's Supreme Court just ordered the heavily Republican districts rewritten

2018-01-23 01:06:59 UTC  

I wonder if that'll go to the national Supreme Court

2018-01-23 05:13:32 UTC  

Shits fucked

2018-01-23 17:50:13 UTC  

I know about it

2018-01-23 17:50:23 UTC  

it's too early in the day to create an /rsg/

2018-01-23 17:50:27 UTC  

and there's also not much to do about it

2018-01-23 17:50:34 UTC  

spam it on /ptg/ I guess

2018-01-23 18:08:38 UTC  

it's a female black Republican vs a black male Democrat

2018-01-23 18:08:39 UTC  

lmao

2018-01-23 18:08:42 UTC  

I didn't expect that
