okay, so what does "globalism" mean to you?
in particular, what policies do you think are required to be advocated for, and on what grounds?
why is everyone in this chat so angry all of the time
I don't perceive any anger here tbh
just mockery mixed with strident debate spirit
``` playing defintional games and engaging in sophistry.
and then randomly spouting quotes that nobody gives a shit about
```

I wonder why
strident debate spirit == angery
so
what you're saying is that
Damian == being a dip
also something about lobsters presumably

It's funny that you guys rail against sjws but love identity politics at the same time
[gets blown 3 miles back by dave rubin's attack helicopter arm spin]
special attack?
for it to be amusing that we "love identity politics" would require that to actually be the case. AFAICT, it is not.
It's funny you to claim to be a libertarian but then advocate for wealth redistrbution
I don't love identity politics
I think it's a potent weapon that I can't afford to not take advantage of, especially considering the high stakes
How is nationalism not identity politics?
how is it?
It doesn't need to be identity politics in the sense I think you see it in
Entitlement mentality based on identity
It doesn't need to be a divisive form of identity politics, in fact it's purpose is to bring many peoples together under one banner
wat
Let's use Rome as an example
😕
1. entitlement to what? 2. based on what identity? 3. mentality of whom?
They were pretty nationalistic but integrated other tribes into their system through subsuming them into the national identity
globalism is an entitlement mentality
Some groups became noteworthy for their skill in particular forms of combat, some became model citizens who adapted quickly to the Roman way of life, etc
the auxilleries right @banestrum
People kept as much of their smaller group identity as was useful to society
When in Rome do as the Romans do
@Deleted User Yeah, and some calvalry
@Deleted User Yes, but not because conformity is easy, but because it is mutually beneficial
