Justin P : I’m as Anti-Trump as they come, but I actually agree with you on Britain. The EU has been nothing but a gravy train, taking money, making demands and giving nothing in return. And, the British have watched, while people who, “assisted,” their various governments, but who were too corrupted to get a knighthood, or seat in the Lords, were instead rewarded with a cushy job in an exotic location in Europe, costing the tax payer a fortune. Britain is SICK of it, and it has plenty of resources that Europe can’t do without. So, it’s about time they went their own way. And, when the world sees that Britain is STILL THERE, and doing fine, once they’re free of failing Europe; that the sun still rises, and people are NOT dying in the streets, the Scotts and the Welsh will calm down and accept the CASH, like they always do

Justin P : You make some good points, but do you see who is to blame? ALL of us. The biggest Globalists, are people like Trump, Putin, the Saudis, etc, who have no compunction about setting children to work in their sweatshops, outsourced to foreign countries, because such practices are illegal at home. Think about that, each time you look at one of Trump’s red MAGA hats, made in China, by children?
Nothing any of us say or do will change the fact that Globalism is here, unless we shut down the internet forever. Businesses, the military, news and media and, of course, social media, will be global until technology ends. You can’t STOP that, any more than you can change the weather, through shear force of will. The question is WHAT we do, given that it exists? And, NOT to be taken in by the main critics of Globalism, who exploit it to its fullest. Trump praises internet Trolls, and invited Putin to help him in 2020, using his Global network. They will do it again, with greater vigour and more resources, AND inside help, and you’ll probably see Trump become Dictator for life, given that he can’t afford to lose the protection of his job title. The mistake is to claim that one, “side,” is Globalists, and the other isn’t. We are ALL Globalists, and this conversation is PROOF of that. I’ve done very nicely, BECAUSE of Globalism, but it does make it easier to deceive people, exploit the vulnerable and destroy the integrity of politics. Like the weather, again; sometime lightning destroys stuff. So, instead of pretending that anyone is in control of it, we should build some shelters for people, to protect them, rather than blaming others for making something that we want every bit as much as they do. Admit the rough with the smooth? Be a realist?

European Citizen : You can’t possibly believe what you’re saying, unless you have no knowledge of the situation, at all? You know the Queen doesn’t rule at all, right? She’s a figure head, used to perform certain duties, on behalf of a democratically elected government. And, if you think that the elected representatives of the EU are the ones wielding power, you have NEVER learned a thing about how it works. Each country appoints its own civil servants, which outnumber, “elected officials,” by more than 100 to 1. The politicians are only there to put the spin on what the unelected officials have decided, with the banks and businesses. Why do you think so many people are pissed at them anyway? Because they’re, “prosperous and happy?” It’s because, regardless of whatever deals are made, they ALWAYS get blocked by the banks and money men, who get the EU to fall into line. The UK has watched them piss all over democracy for years and they’ve had enough of it. But, really, son? KNOW your subject, BEFORE, trotting out such stereotypes?

European Citizen : And, in a country with a small population, in which EVERYONE is directly effected by the decisions of Westminster, First Past The Post is the system preferred. One which would have prevented Trump from taking power in America, too. The Counties of Britain are not so different, wherever you go, like America. Some of the US States are like different countries. So, they use that as an excuse to fiddle the system, even though your president clearly LOST his election. If America was a, “United,” States, the majority would rule. The whole of the UK would fit inside half of the US’s states. There’s no plausible excuse for fiddling majority democracy in Britain because they’re too small and too smart to go for it. So, don’t try to lecture others on, “democracy,” son. You don’t have one

Yutube Lurker : Ah, we have a Trump Propagandist in our midst, Putin’ words in my mouth and pivoting to Obama. I made NO claim that countries are, “not,” trying to set up a single world order. Quite the opposite, in fact. Read more carefully? My point is, you’re being sucker punched, by the very people you throw your support behind. Globalism is a fact of life, like the weather. So, you can carry on being distracted, howling at the wind and the rain, whilst they are attempting to build that very, “world order,” that you so fear. No, I DON’T own Nikes, but I don’t doubt that sweatshop goods have slipped under my radar. But, I don’t KNOWINGLY buy sweatshop goods. And, while you struggle with disproof of your thesis, in your very hands; The Internet, which you flatly deny is the CHIEF INSTRUMENT of Globalism, yet CANNOT offer an argument as to WHY you, “completely disagree,” consider how you are building the Trump Tower of Babel with your keyboard hand, whilst holding up an anti-globalist placard with the other? The EU is nothing but a front for a business clique, and the likes of Putin, Xi, and Trump all want it gone, as it’s the only threat to the prize of a One World Order, that they will ultimately have to fight each other for, in the end. And, when THAT time comes, America will stand NO CHANCE, having been hopelessly compromised and infiltrated by Russian Hacks, and the vast army of SUCKERS they drag in their wake. So, Putin will have control over everyone from Turkey to Iraq, and China will be the last man standing, while America sinks into the dust of its own folly. That’s why I left the US. I moved there from England in 2006 and have duel citizenship, but I recently returned. The only thing that would get me back to the US now, would be if there were mass demonstrations to join, against Trump, or an Impeachment to enjoy. America is already OVER, the Republic fallen, its Constitution in SHREDS. Because the Globalists WON, by telling you they were, “not globalists,” and chanting, “America First.” You FELL for it, and richly deserve your reward . . . Smh
