Isolationism scares me. I am a globalist. Neoliberalism globalist actually.
I politically align with Trump WAY THE HELL more than I do the left. It's his move away from globalization that bugs me. It's the unsettling feeling of how he approaches it. I like being part of the world.
I'm all for reduction in foreign war funding, and even can stomach killing the climate accords for immediate needs. Warmer oceans don't necessarily mean more hurricanes.
But it's the move away from the free market. Musk made a killing off the incentivized "green" free market. And half of all Teslas are made in Shanghai. China supplies the manufacturing for a long time now. Not their fault they can undercut our costs. Blame the glory of capitalism. They make almost all our phones now too. Are those going up 60% with the China tafiffs? $1600 iPhones? It is intertwined in the grand outsourced web of it all.
Pulling out of climate accords in one thing, but NATO is like putting up metaphorical blackout curtains and cultivating an arsenal. We gonna only watch the outside world through black and white CCTV screens, and shoot anything that crosses the perimeter?
What we are collectively choosing really sends a screwed up message to the world.
"Yeah, we're changing course now. So after all our years of global presence we are done. Your all on your own and fuck your climate beliefs, we don't need you anymore. We will also be taxing all your foreign crap that we no longer want 20%-60%."
It's counterproductive to what I consider the best part of globalism and capitalism. It will drive a stake between us and the world and force everyone in the USA to buy sometimes inferior domestic crap. Foreign importers will just stop doing business with us.
Quote:Neoliberalism is often associated with a set of economic liberalization policies, including privatization, deregulation, consumer choice, globalization, free trade, monetarism, austerity, and reductions in government spending.
