i did not like this 'debate'; i was thinking audience polled before and after; i was thinking teams with good thrust and parry,,, this was a sub par show - in my opinion

@squamish4244 i disagree; the whole world is not metro now; it may seem that way to those who live in that bubble - there is no global consensus, there is no global citizen recognised by any global authority, or national authority. You might as well be a ghost if no one can see you :)

@calorus the question wasn't 'what effect could the marginalised have, rather they have inalienable rights, and don't care to exercise any effect beyond simple satisfaction of those rights. They have no global agenda.

@squamish4244 thank you for your reply; i live on the south coast of western australia where there has been no covid, no curfew, no lockdown, no black lives matter rallies and so on. We here don't feel like metropolitan people, or global citizens. A humble existence on the margins and inclined to hold niche.

There is no global citizen unless it be a mega rich 1% er corporate greedist. We can't get democracy to work in country without pissing off almost half of everyone. There is no global consensus on anything. The only thing really global is multinational corporate rapists and pillagers. To have globalism as a social order would imply a subscription to Utilitarianism, and the birth rate of my race is outgunned such that I will not have sufficient numbers on my side to do other than resist.
