Are you a globalist or a parochialist?

If Brexit was a battle between the forces of globalism who aim for a one-world government, open borders, multiracial society, and parochialism describes people who are attached to what the globalists would call "anachronisms" such as tribal identity, cultural memes etc which camp do you necessarily fall into?

Britain wants to be a global trading nation on its own terms.

That's quite different from submitting to a one-world government. I think the ultimate aim of the globalists even if they don't know it in their own minds is to have a global set of standards and rules by which all human being live, whether you live in a mud hut or a mansion.

In fact with the globablists you'll have 99% living in mud huts and the elite 1% living in mansions because most of the wealth will be redistributed in an equal manner. The proles will also be a lot easier to control that way.

You've never heard of the hour glass economy I take it? That's just the start.

I would support parochialism. The reason why I voted leave was because I was afraid that the EU was taking us towards globalism. In my opinion, we need to remain separate countries so that each country can check the power of others. If there had been one "World country" and Hitelr had become leader of it, there would have been no other countries with the means to wage war on and therefore depose him. That is what concerns me about globalism.

If the dictatorship fell (which would be inevitable) then humanity would be free as an entirety not partly free pending in where you are born now.

Hmm. With no checks and balances, why would this be inevitable?

All dictatorships fail. In fact, when you think about all systems of government. What people like OP say about current nation states is what people said about empires and feudal kingdoms. No form of government is a particular end point of human civilisation. A world stage would only potentially occur I estimate in at least four centuries. When you consider how improbable, terrifying, absurd if not heretical the Notion of walking on the moon would seem back then the notion if a world without borders seems quite plausible for the future and u think will be of great benefit for all.

B) although inequality has deepened (the gap between the poorest and wealthy) the standard of living is virtually utopian compared to previous Generations. I fail to see how we would be reduced to living in mud huts.

I voted for Brexit and i'm a moderate globalist...

In contrast to Davij I'm very skeptical of the UN and international law in general and only really care about what our allies think (the US and France mainly), while i'm sympathetic to the idea of universal laws i find the notion that those laws should have input from nations i deem culturally inferior to be repugnant, i'm something of a western supremacist.. I tend to agree with him that the tribe mentality can be damaging however i tend to one that embraces human nature and tribe mentality is in my view part of that. I'm uite happy for large federations to form, i just think i'd rather be one with the US than the EU.

While i believe in states i'm also somewhat libertarian with regards to my view on immigration however i would add the caveats that free (ish) movement should only occur between western states and i don't share the belief that we need to fill the country with minorities. Polish and Canadians will do me just fine, hence i don't object too much to Trump keeping Muslims out in the US and am alarmed with regards to the refuges being allowed to pollute our country. They are not one of us. .

I'm mildly opposed to a multi-racial Britain. Going back to my point above, i've never really understood what advantage these people bring us that Australians don't. I bear those of a different ethnicity or religion no ill way but we have near enough a billion white Christians/atheists to choose from.

All dictatorships thus far have fallen, largely because other countries have had the power to put a stop to them. A world with only one single country would be a dictatorship unlike any we have seen before and I do not see who/what would have the ability to topple it.

Dictatorships in the contemporary error all share the same charexteristic of blaming domestic problems on external issues hence often military aggression as a way of moving the goal posts as well as keeping their biggest potential rival (the military) busy: in a welll educated and globally connected society such as ours it would be next to impossible.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, the answer is we don't know. Many people made the same arguments against democracy and over time we have more or less worked with it.

But, do you think it is possible that we are in fact living under a dictatorship now and that different states and borders are merely an illusion? When you consider the reach of TNCs eg Microsoft I don't think it's too hard to imagine. If there was a NWO it would be far more visible and exposed under a one state planet and unlike in the multi state dictatorship idea above would be far more accountable.

Globalism means none of those things though. It's pretty much entirely regards global capitalism and economics. It otherwise cares not race, or open borders beyond trade, or necessarily one-world government.

I fall into the camp of "I like democracy and I don't think tying the UK down to a rapidly declining and imploding economic/trade bloc is necessarily in our long-term interests".

Also many Remainers already tried to paint opposition to Brexit as "Little Englanders" and it merely undermined their desired outcome by being an ugly and hollow generalization, so probably best to move past that.

For my part I find it weird that "Little Europeans", with their overly emotional argument born of a perverse eurocentrism, would suggest Brexit is a retreat from the world, when there's more to the world than Europe.
Certainly my argument isn't informed by nationalism (even some weird embryonic nationalism being artificially cultivated for a whole continent).
