Hopefully, at some future date, these recent decades will all be seen as growing pains for the human race.
Globalization was sold to the western public, in part, with the claim it would create more demand for Western products and therefore benefit workers in the West by creating more jobs - amounting to convoluted twisted and forked tongue logic to be sure when factories and entire manufacturing industries were moved out of Western countries as part of the globalization scheme.
‘Globalization’ was also presented as a humanitarian endeavor while it was absolutely true that it would lift “some” out of poverty that otherwise had no opportunities.
Behind all the false promises was again the hidden truth. People outside the West were paid slave wages to produce goods for the wealthiest and most prosperous corporations in the world. By default, judging by the actual practices and results, the real reasons for globalization were to further enrich those at the apex of Western power, bankers and financiers along with the multinational corporations they invested in. Along with their increasing wealth came more political power as the top echelon globalists invested relatively small portions of their profits to further rig the political-economic system by bribing and coercing politicians through various means and simultaneously controlling manipulative, censored, and falsified narratives through the Western establishment’s “news and entertainment” industries.
It all seems to be unraveling as the truth continues to come out. Following right behind the truth are more efforts from the globalists to further impose restrictions on free speech and legitimate protest of government policies while they try to control everything and everyone with money and career opportunities or lack thereof.
The struggle itself is a beautiful thing, not in the sense that it’s necessary, but in the sense that neither the truth nor the human spirit can be contained while people work, trying to create a world where equal rights, justice, and opportunities prevail.
