>Is alt-right Little England Syndrome a principled opposition to internationalism, or just a realpolitik reaction to the collapse of Western power?
Its a bit of collumn A, a bit of collumn B. The rising nationalism is reaction directly to both the failure of Globalist leadership at mitigating the damage, and a more instinctual, tribalistic reaction of humans to keep to their own kind.
All in all, nationalism, or neo-tribalism will always exist since human beings divide themselves into groups and subgroups by instinct.
The sudden rise of neo-tribalism however is a direct response to the disastrous policies of foreign govermnents, the obvious incompactability of different ethnic groups and peoples, and the harsh toll the multiculturalism experiment has had on nations budgets.
Its ugly, its costly, and it has harmed much more than anything good so far, so opposition to Globalism is nowdays rooted in rational cost analysis, while Favoring Globalism is rooted in just blind ideology and wishful thinking.
>do you guys really think that thinking big, thinking global is bad, or do you just hate it now that the West is becoming the more passive actor on the world stage?
I think its great that people are minding their own business nowdays, instead of trying to take on any kind of "White man burden" of the modern age. What the hell is there to gain in being a "big player" in third worlds, other than unfettered migration and some money sinks?
For colonialism to be profitable, the colonized part of the world has to be of so low tech level that they will not mind their resources syphoned away, or for it to be so one-sided its guaranteed to cause resistance, and damage to the empire itself. Its not worth the cost.
