I use those words, uh, not sure what the word to describe how, but I'm not necessarily anti-"socialist". In-fact, if I dissect the word, social comes from Latin(?) socius, meaning "friend/ally", and I do believe we should be more friendly, and allied, to the right, for the right reasons. I don't see that happening with what is going on with "Globalism". Not to say that absolutely - it couldn't, but
do you want people making decisions for you? How bout an A.I.? (I might not be against augmentation...)
I'm wishful for a lot of ... structure, base, protection, planning, considering the "rights" of others, and ourselves. I frequently find myself in some kind of fantasy, because I see homeless people a lot, where nobody is homeless, if they don't want to be. My mind is very "socialist" in a sense. I also think that individual health is group health. At the very least, a sick person might be like a hole or jagged edge, and others might trip or fall on/around/because of, themselves becoming obstructions, to themselves, and to others.
Gun rights are a big deal to me. Immigration is, as well, and so are jobs. I do think things need to take an "us"-centered approach, first. But I said here before that I want to breath to work. I have to breath, before I work. The globalists are trading us like sheep/farm animals, slaves, and ... jobs, they are able to move them wherever they make the most money (or people, they can move, because of "liberal" policies).
People are still scared animals. They look for group-uniformity. I can get into my tastes, my real life, human tastes, which don't have to include hate, to know that I don't quite have/feel that same sexual spark, or wholesomeness that I feel for my own "kind", for others. And when you look at voting patterns, even men and women vote differently- So do races, or ethnicities, or religious-affiliation. I desire unity, in action, direction, goal, purpose, with recognition of the wishes/desires of myself, and my people, first. I don't see how it can work any other way. This doesn't mean I hate others, or even seek greater division within - not to say we were ever monolithic / nor was Europe, or the British Isles. Just that we shouldn't be shuffled around, our jobs too - by assholes that don't realize what they're connected to, that probably don't give a fuck about any person individually, they see us as slaves (or just disrespect us, our choices, are ability to decide for ourselves).
What's so wrong with being cosmopolitan?
In a sense I might say I am beloved, family with life, including other people (meaning other identity, ethnicity). Citizen ("citizen of the world") has an etymology, if I remember right, that goes back to a word meaning "
family, settle, beloved...". How is this settled? How is it settled to invite Muslims and every face in the book, to move them into Christian cultured (even if they don't believe...) Europe? Is there much affection? Is there not division? I want unity, where possible. I don't want to stir dissent/chaos. Are they not a family - do they not have their beloved? Do they not settle, differently?
I do also believe we can have a unity with others, but I do believe that there needs to be some respect to borders, to "state" that the people exist in. We're being full-throttled in a sense, right now- Where we weren't having wars, we're finding ways to have them. This becomes a war within. I almost see democrats of taking advantage of-- drafting a foreign "army" to fight a war against often times what should have been considered their own people. So have "republicans". Honestly those terms are probably largely worthless, for this. Tribal.
My beliefs closely align in a way with fascism, with "National Socialism", however I see the need to come to a better, more intelligent balance- At least currently, there is no way we can "win" without cooperation from the rest of the world. I don't mean to tie this to German "National Socialism", I'm looking at the words, at the base of it: National means "family, race", or relates to these things, as does
city, in a way, coming from a Proto-Indo-European root *key(?). I'd prefer that all Nations practice a form of National Socialism, and we would have a world-council of fascists/National Socialists, with a desire/goal to live the best life possible, for all people. This should not include shuffling people and jobs around like a slave market. Not to mean race should really be focused on, where diversity it present, either, especially in some natural amount, and my desire would be that "minorities" would be treated better than - the best that they've ever been. But that 95% shouldn't be made a promise to, with a new immigration act, or whatever (1960s...) that it wouldn't change the racial makeup of the country, to now, 60 years later, be at less than 60% of the population, and falling (U.S. "white" population). It just stirs bad things. And it's not as if these people like "us" lots of times, either. Or want the same, exactly.
But I don't hate them - at all, on the face of it. But that, the "open world" did make this outbreak probably 100s of times worse than it would have been, the expectation of free-travel as it has been. This crisis certain shined a light- Perhaps the Nationalists were right, even if sometimes for the wrong reasons (if anyone is actually deeply, completely motivated by hatred, which I doubt).
I don't mean to say the people of earth shouldn't cooperate. That we shouldn't be able to travel, and visit, and perhaps even migrate, in time, after lots more development especially. But there should be organization, with respect to organization. I don't think we should be in such a hurry, but I think it is something of a race, for some, and we're dragged along, or have to get out of the way sometimes.
I also think that some universal basic income sounds good, but then I wonder about what Jordan Peterson (and some others probably) said, about humans being naturally kind of a beast of burden. That we have to work, to feel valuable, or something. So I do think that that should be considered. But I think homelessness, and people suffering, needlessly, if we can help it, is shameful (but I also see we are limited, and are trying to take care of ourselves, too).
I don't mean to advocate for removal of peoples... But I mean this in more way than one, I guess. And I don't mean to say I don't want to recognize 'other peoples', or to work to become allies, and friends with them.
But for instance (just as an example), one religion, which 1.6 billion people apparently identify with, makes many statements, which says to
not treat us as friends,
so how-then can I be "cosmopolitan" about that? And, well, we need to protect ourself. I don't want to let them make decisions for us, any more than I want you to make decisions for me. I just think there needs to be some coordination to our common-action, some awareness, some restraint, some consciousness building, before... oh wait the idiots went ahead and did it.
On the simplest level, I still advocate love.
This is an interesting video-clip of Jordan Peterson talking about discrimination. It came to me after the friends unfriended me (for some reason - there might be a few). It was right after I came back on Facebook, because I wanted to retrieve a picture, but then got interested in what one was saying. Somehow I related it to viruses/bacteria/sickness/infection. He also talks about walls- How cities would have walls, a double wall, and each house would have walls. This is an act of simplification...ordering...structuring. Coordination. Orientation.
