The rise of nationalism after decades of the Globalist Project is a de-centralizing principle. I'm one who's not a big fan of nationalism, unless it means resisting being eaten by a bigger nation! LOL! I'm currently FOR nationalism, because it's working against uber-toxic-super-nationalism, i.e., globalism.
I think the globalists have it entirely upside-down. Yes, nationalism is dangerous. But it's better than globalism. It's better to have local autonomy, in general, so as a limited-government libertarian, I want to see the NATIONAL governments back the hell off. We forget how England - as we know it - was forged out of a system of self-sufficient and essentially autonomous boroughs, brought into being by Alfred the Great. We shouldn't be looking to centralize, but DE-centralize, and the whole will be greater than the sum of its parts. Top-down controls are increasingly ineffective and even downright tyrannical. The fact is that society's evolving much more rapidly than our traditional institutions can keep up with. By the time all the committees have held their deliberations and all the bureaucrats have printed the NEW form for us to fill out, the form is obsolete!
