As some may recall, I lost my job to some stupid H1-B. I think a better way of expressing the drivers of nationalism are resentment towards elites, my own economic distress caused by globalism. Nationalism is the solution to that. It's not perfect, but the only way I see to address said resentments. In fact, I'd like the US to become an economic autarky. The US has a sufficient array of technology and natural resources to go that way. The way I see it, is that the elites would suffer greatly from autarky. It goes like this John, they fucked me over and I want revenge and a chance at something better. Face it, if you're a prole, the current arrangement has lots of better outcomes. And... so I say again, shut down the MIC! I really don't give a shit if the shipping lanes are not defended by my tax dollars. If the exporting nations want to send their crap here, let THEM PAY, and if not, just let the whole rotten system collapse.
Fuck the MIC, fuck the oligarchies who benefit from my tax dollars going to defend THEIR shipping lanes. If said oligarchies want to import crap, LET THEM PAY, I want nothing of it. In fact, I opt out as much as I can to further the cause of collapse. The US is just like the Soviet Union. The elites serve only themselves, period. So.. I think elite overreach is the proximate cause of nationalism/xenophobia.
Why not focus more constructively on limiting immigration? If those H1Bs don't get renewed, people like you will get their jobs back.
