my idealism is internationalist in that the freedoms of citizens from every nation must be protected. immigration should be regulated at the municipality level, not the federal level. people don’t need to be managed in the way you are portraying.

what is globalist is trump’s regime where he weaponizes the state to maintain the remaining bit of u.s. global hegemony. if the u.s. didn’t destabilize the rest of the Americas through regime change and terrorism, people wouldn’t come to the u.s. for asylum in the first place and could safely stay in their own countries.

it’s unfortunate that most u.s. citizens don’t give a damn about how their government and consumption choices negatively affect the lived experiences of people outside their borders.
