Magnifique, President Macron.
Our interests second then? Sorry, charity begins at home and its high time we look out for #1

Obama took out Osama, and Jihadi John the British accent fighter who was beheading people. And his covert drone war took out many high level ISIS fighters.

All those buildings he and his 'partners' have gotten rich from? Chinese steel. Once again Trump says he'll fix the problem he was a huge part of.

I cannot believe any steel workers even support this guy after he helped put them out of business.

Screaming, yelling, making vile threats, tweeting offensive insults, calling people childish names, bullying and dishonesty are NOT signs of strength.

They are signs of insecurity, fear, a fragile ego, lack of self-esteem, lack of respect for others, but mostly fear. Strong self-confident people do not behave like this.
I changed one word and thats all anyone has to do if they are paying attention.
Can you pick out the word ?

Macron may have well stated:
"Globalism is nationalism"

Here's an abbreviated list of Newspeak terms from Orwell's book 1984, to help everyone interpret modern communist propaganda:

Quote:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Newspeak_words

bellyfeel – a blind, enthusiastic acceptance of an idea

blackwhite – the ability to believe that black is white, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary

crimestop – to rid oneself of unwanted thoughts, i.e., thoughts that interfere with the ideology of the Party. This way, a person avoids committing thoughtcrime

crimethink – Thoughtcrime, thoughts that are unorthodox or outside the official government platform (or the crime of thinking such thoughts)

doublethink – the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct

duckspeak (aka: being an NPC)– Voicing political orthodoxies without thinking, lit. "to quack like a duck"

facecrime – An indication that a person is guilty of thoughtcrime based on their facial expression

free – Meaning Negative freedom (without) in a physical sense, only in statements like "This dog is free from lice", as the concepts of "political freedom" and "intellectual freedom" do not exist in Newspeak

good – (Can also be used as a prefix vaguely meaning "orthodox")

goodthink – thoughts that are approved by the Party and follow its policies, ideals and interpretations. It is the opposite of crimethink

oldthink – Ideas inspired by events or memories of times prior to the Revolution

plusgood – replaces the words better and great. Refers to good compliance with Party orthodoxy.

pornosec – subunit of the Fiction Department of the Ministry of Truth that produces pornography

prolefeed – The steady stream of mindless entertainment to distract and occupy the masses

rectify – used by the Ministry of Truth as a euphemism for the deliberate alteration (or 'correction') of the past

How original and creative. I'm rubber, you're glue...

That's a Trump thing. When one has no original thoughts--not even insults, just copy.

Oh and England feels the same way too apparently with Brexit.

So if caring about your own as a top priority makes us Nationalists, so be it

A little B-grade country like France with no natural resources obviously encourages globalism. They have everything to lose and nothing to gain from nationalism. The U.S., on the other hand, is rich with natural resources. As such, nationalism is a viable alternative here. Hard to believe that Macron doesn't understand this - or, maybe he does and thinks everyone else is too dumb to call him out on his BS.

That's is exactly what I thought. It's just globalist doublespeak. "Globalism is patriotism" . He might as well said patriotism isn't patriotism, treason is patriotism, yay!

Treason=patriotism
Patriotism=treason.

Again, many of these European countries are smaller than our states. Travelling in Europe is like travelling from state to state here. You're correct, however, they have everything to gain from Globalism. That is why I can understand them wanting to become the United Countries of Europe. Maybe they will be a part of the new USSR someday, and actually become a super power again.

I remember a theory decades ago that the world would become regionalized to keep up with the larger more powerful countries. North America, Europe, Asia, etc.
