I would like to point out however that the push for "globalism" and cooperation itself is asinine because the idea that wanting xyz is fascism, not globalism, simply because you're choosing to become more self reliant rather than to defer accountability and work is not necessarily fascism. Playing the fascism card is more a strawman argument to hinder economic development in favour of "mysterious agenda" more often than not. The reality is that cooperation and mutual support is essentially done as often as possible when it works in favour of the job provider or customer.

On the flip side the idea that wanting a good job, financial freedom and wanting your place of residence or country that you are a citizen of, to develop for the better may be the most benign expression of fascism that many can imagine. Now imagine trying to say that these people, group XYZ-ists are cunts who deserve to suffer or lose their jobs.

Try and justify that in your mind for a moment. Because if it sounds dumb to you it's probably because it is. If you start a business that creates jobs for people in your group, that's good, if your business can create an entire system of jobs across multiple countries then even better. Power almost always naturally goes to the group or person that consistently provides the most. Just like in some places, there is essentially no or very little police force due to very low crime rates.
