As Predicted, Wise Globalism Trumps Populism but Doesn't Explain the Chaos to Come

• The Daily Bell

Global elites must heed the warning of populist rage … Real income stagnation over a longer period than any since the war is a fundamental political fact. –Financial Times

This article acknowledges that globalism is failing but then concludes if it does that Western civilization will end as well.

We entirely disagree with this argument, but we see why it is being made.

In fact, we predicted it last month.

The FT article, of course, provides a number of ways that globalism can be strengthened so that civilization as we know it will not end.

Here at DB, we hope fervently that the globalist-engineered system of international authoritarianism does topple over – and quickly. It's a horrible system designed to fail.

Post Brexit, the development of freedom is to be demonized as "populism." Globalism was to be advanced as the sensible solution of mature adults.

This article is a perfect example of the new elitist meme.

If governing elites continue to fail to offer convincing cures, they might soon be swept away and, with them, the effort to marry democratic self-government with an open and co-operative world order.

The article then describes why populism is gaining attractiveness, explaining that economic stagnation was causing "rage."

This is a simplistic analysis of what's taking place. But it serves the cause of globalism well because it implies that simple greed is behind Western discontent.

If people simply had more "things," they would be happier.

There is no suggestion that the Internet itself has educated people about the root causes of what they continually lack.
