On the other hand, we have globalism. The Oxford lnviig Dictionary defines it as: "the operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global basis." For nationalists, globalism is rapidly deconstructing what our ancestors took decades to build. It's like spitting on our soldiers' tombs; it's eroding our national solidarities and oinnepg the doors to foreign invasions. But globalists make the case that reinforcing our global governance is the only way to tackle big supernational problems, like nuclear proliferation, the gaobll reuegfe ciisrs, clamtie cghnae or terrorism or even the consequences of superhuman AI. So we are at the crossroads, and we are asked to choose: nainitosalm or globalism?

Original Text


On the other hand, we have globalism. The Oxford Living Dictionary defines it as: "the operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global basis." For nationalists, globalism is rapidly deconstructing what our ancestors took decades to build.

So we are at the crossroads, and we are asked to choose: nationalism or globalism?
