Close, according to da book, it's more a manifestation of Nomad generations' rise to power. Due to Nomad gens' having lots of economic problems and attitude most have little use for shit that happens elsewhere. Example, Rags doesn't give a rat's ass about Syria, Africa, Afghanistan, [except we should just bail out and save that money for more important stuff like green energy in the US, better infrastructure in the US, and shore up the safety net. ] Less spending on the Empire and more on domestic needs is what is in order.

Progressivism per say has its points. Poverty and destitution are destabilizing. Besides anyone is one car wreck away from full disability. The part I don't like is this "We're One World After all." It's nauseating to the max. And it brings out my inner Grouch.
