You are the one talking rubbish. Behavioural evolution is regarded by some as a science on its own. You are speaking only of the evolution of living things, but many things evolve. Systems evolve. It merely means to change to suit new circumstances. Globalism is a result of our shrinking world, due to technological advancements which enable the transfer of things, and people, in ways that didn't previously exist. That some seek to profit from it, is a consequence, not the cause. That we need to exercise control over those consequences is beyond doubt. As is that we need new global structures to do so. What isn't true is that we can simply stop it. The world has already changed, and there is no return to what existed before. That's why it has evolved. We can control who enters this country if we are motivated enough. Don't tell me it can't be done. That is claptrap. You are a defeatist, and worse, an advocate, and that makes you complicit in the destruction of this country.

You do not understand the difference between globalisation and globalism. Globalism is an "ism" i.e. an ideology. This ideology is summed up by people like Yuval Noah Harari. Basically national identify and spirituality can go hang, you are no more than a meat puppet and you will be replaced or subsumed by technology.

A tertiary education is useful for shelf stacking and warehouse picking these days. Watch on while newcomers progress. The idiots pushing this have no idea. Uni is a great place to read Marx, wear black clothes with blue hair, and learn to throw rocks at people with opinions different to yourself. Learn the importance of crying to get the things you want.

Learn the importance of crying to get the things you want. The problem with Universities these days is that they are no longer institutions for further educating those who warrant that commitment. I'm still quite young, and enjoyed reasonable academic success (through nature must be said, I was always committedly lazy) however I had no shortage of 'thick' mates, much as I love them... somewhat inevitable growing up in Lewisham. I'd suggest about 10% went to prison, 10% went to prison for substantial periods of time with a number still there, about 40% found reasonable work and shockingly about 40% went to University. A lot of those who went to Uni had about the same cerebral capacity as those who found work by the age of 18/19/20. The ones who found work all seem to be homeowners now with reasonable wages etc. Those that went to Uni, in their main, show no signs of intellectualism, are still paying off debts, have ludicrous jobs in fields/roles they have been led to believe they belong in, but know deep down they do not, and earn barely livable wages to sustain their disillusionment with 'adulthood'. A few still even live at home (late 20s/early 30's). It's no wonder anybody may be under the impression we need to import the likes of skilled labourers, a seriously undervalued necessity in society, from anywhere and everywhere. In the meantime, we'll still work hard on figuring out what value degrees actually hold when the likes of being somewhat literate is supposedly now a sufficient barometer to warrant a loan of tens of thousands of pounds to study 'English Literature' before moving on to work part time behind a bar or become a 'personal trainer' etc. Talent schemes, such as apprenticeships, should really be the way forward for this nation. I'm glad that a diversity push has paved the way for many to now be able to go in to further education but let's not conflate this with the issue of providing people with an ends to justify those means. Should anything stop you from entering University and furthering your education, only one IMHO, if you are not able to utilise the opportunity to benefit the overall economy and yourself in later life. It shouldn't be painted as some sort of given for anyone who 'fancies it'.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Higher education, lower wages and/or earning ability and less desire/affordability to have children or own a home is all part of the western elites and big business owners’ plans. What this country is going to look like in 35 years I expyto be a real shame and shameful. But Tony Blair got rich steering us. Stange sort of plan by elites and big business then - impoverish people so that they will be unable to buy the products of business.

We created the need. Well done. You’re getting there. By we, I mean the country. Well actually the Labour government. Companies didn’t help, but there could’ve been incentives. And Labour did encourage East Europeans over here. It takes some believing. Ignore the working classes, encourage 50% into university. For what purpose nobody knows, but he still thinks it’s credible.
We didn't "create" the need. That implies it was deliberately designed. It arrived as a consequence of events. Hindsight may suggest another course would have produced a better outcome, but decisions are taken with the best intentions based on what can be seen at the time. That will always be the case. Decisions being taken to day won't always look wise in a few years from now. Having skill shortages whilst we were in the EU allowed gaps to be filled via free movement. That's not "encouraging". It's using the system, which in the process has also provided us with some high quality new citizens. Improving the availability of vocational training, and its perceived value to society, so that a vocational award is regarded in the same way as a degree, is something I completely agree with.

It was created via Tony Blair’s vision. It didn’t need to be and he was told in no uncertain terms what a mistake he was making. It was possible to invest in youth or skills, not cr&ppy useless degrees. Most who go to university aren’t in the slightest bit interested.

Wonder how many of them regret it with the average student debt at £35,000.

Globalisation is basically the global infrastructure and processes that connect us together (internet, supply chains etc) and Globalism is as I previously described. The reason why conflating these is a problem is that Globalists will claim that Globalism is inevitable *because* of globalisation. So basically they are inserting their ideology on the back of the fact that technology is driving change that they want to control in their own particular way. Globalism makes no account of national borders or national sovereignty, independent cultures and societal norms, religions, property rights, personal privacy, bodily autonomy etc etc. There is also a much wider agenda here that relates to things like smart cities, "sustainable development", quantum computing, it's singularity and things like trans-humanism. The basics tenets are: One world government This little to do with globalisation other than you can use it as a tool to enable this and the agenda of Globalists is obviously global and pretty well advanced. That's not pedantic and that kind of thinking is short sighted, ill informed and dangerous considering what's at stake. Edited by W12 (26 Apr 2022 2.12pm)

It gets wiped after 30 years! It's not really a "loan". It's much more a tax for the highest earners to have benefited from a university education.

Creating worldwide brands makes commercial sense, but we don't have to buy them, and they are often tailored to suit local tastes. Did you know, for instance, that even Coca-Cola varies from country to country? Edited by Wisbech Eagle (26 Apr 2022 2.38pm)

Edited by W12 (26 Apr 2022 2.12pm) "Globalists", such as they exist, can claim whatever they like. It isn't going to happen. It's a conspiracy theory with absolutely no prospect of it happening. The structure doesn't exist, and nor does the will to build one. Globalisation is though a reality.

Here is just a few of the usual suspects which include every major corporation, government agencies, security services, media, central banks and global agencies (World Bank, Bank of International Settlements, World Health Organisation, UN, EU, NATO), NGO's - you name it - almost everyone represented that runs the current global society. Our laws are gradually being changed to enable this. Been happening for years. (there are many more such organisations) Do you think you can stop this by choosing not to go along with it?

You can see how relying on resources from other countries fails when someone doesn't play by the rules. A more sensible policy would be greater self sufficiency of resources and a move back towards raising more children to reverse the slow extinction of Europeans, rather than making both parents in a family work for the wages of one. Restricting the labour market would mean higher wages and less profit for the increasing monopoly of multinational companies, who pay limited tax and low wages.
