No, it's called learning from your mistakes which the right is open to do. If you haven't noticed the right is starting to look an awful lot like the middle. If the left would admit being wrong every now and then it would do them wonders.

Which right? The American right? There is no American left - and the current state of things there, if you think that's starting to "look like the middle" and "learn from its mistakes" then....wow.
 
While I've seen a little of the Soros theories in general I don't get much of this kind f nonsense in my feed fortunately.

As far as Trump and globalism is concerned, I don't think his rhetoric is that its bad so much as security shouldn't be comprised in the name of profits. One of the major things that allowed the US to prosper and aid other countries during and after the world wars was its manufacturing prowess.

We live in a globalized society and that isn't changing - Trump isn't going to change it even if he wanted and I don't think he's trying to. China has absolutely taken advantage of globalization off the back of both individual's and company's greed to expand markets without guard rails in place.

China’s economic rise isn’t merely exploitation of globalisation; it’s also a consequence of Western economies outsourcing manufacturing for cost efficiency and profit maximisation. Rather than attributing this solely to “individual and company greed,” it’s an inherent outcome of capitalist market dynamics—something Trump’s populist stance deliberately oversimplifies for political gain.

We're 80 years past WW2 now, we're more likely to see another uprising of the far right again than we are manufacturing returning to America. We're a different world now that doesn't make simple things and we're intrinsically linked globally like never before via the internet - which makes isolation even more silly.

The problem with the economy and living standards declining isn't globalisation but rather than billionaires and the mega mega rich are buying up everything the middle classes could ever hope to own. It'll eventually see a total collapse of society if not dealt with and a return to mass poverty and living standards of the Victorian eras. The thing is most likely won't be dealt with as we're turning more and more to populism and the ones trying to hold onto this position have convinced the average person that immigration is their problem and the reason for all their problems.

But we're playing the big game of Monopoly and we know what happens at the end of Monopoly when one person owns everything.
