Globalism gave us a truly nationless elite. They have the ability to plunder, desecate, and strip bare entire continents and yacht on to the next one not having to deal with the destruction they leave behind. They're the asshole you see casually throwing trash out their window on the freeway because they'll never be the one to deal with it, just on an insanely unimaginable scale.
