My contention is that anti-imperialist "open borders" sentiment has become a tool exploited by globalist imperial actors.
from OP, 2nd paraOur enemies are not human beings, but the institutions and routines that estrange us from each other and from ourselves
Somehow, somewhere along the line, the fact that 'institutions and routines' are human-driven entities seems to have been forgotten, to be replaced with a forlorn 'there is no one accountable' mentality - I wonder how that happened?
Similar to the recent law giving the senior management of corporations absolution from any crimes they commit in the name of the company.

Isn't a position critical of Capital, the State, Authoritarianism, White Supremacy, Male Dominance and all that shit still legit, even if neo-Liberalism has a proven capacity to co-opt such liberatory impulses?
My criterion for judging material is fairly simple; because the dominant narrative is built around the split-model and fear of the other, material that plays on those fears is probably facilitated by the system.
Thanks for putting a critical eye to the article dodger

Globalism is a propositional system that, whatever its positions on the above issues, has a notable democratic deficit. I do not cheer even progressive-sounding initiatives from actors such as the EU, UN, OSCE, IMF etc when I suspect they are being carried out without any sort of popular mandate.
