Many believe that nationalism and globalism are natural adversaries. However, I believe that nationalism at one time was a globalist tool. It was used in the US to shift power from the states to the Federal government. However, now that power has been centralized in the US federal government via the Progressive era, nationalism ironically is now no longer a collectivist tool, rather, it is a collectivist obstacle that impedes globalism. Now the US has been centralized enough through nationalism, it is now ripe to embrace globalism. But without the first step of nationalism, globalism would have been virtually impossible for America to embrace.
It is akin to unwelcomed immigration in America in the 1600's. At first, white Europeans came over by the droves as Indians tried to fight them off. Brown colored skin was seen as inferior as Indians were seen as barbarians. These Indians were made up of decentralized tribes that gave way to a more "progressive" centralized European style governments that united America into one government. Then power shifted from the states to the federal government through the more "progressive" nationalism.
However, now that collectivists have successfully centralized power in the US, they now ready themselves for more "progressive" globalism. Now instead of favoring white colored skin over dark, they favor dark colored skin over white. Now it is the white man who is the barbarian that needs to submit to his darker skinned counterparts. Now national borders must come down as globalism takes over and as national sovereignty becomes a thing of the past for the on coming globalist government to put us all under one banner. Now it's time to destroy and overwhelm sovereign nations so that the crumbling nations can be convinced to look for a global salvation.
So as we see, racism against white colored people and dark colored people are mere tools of the globalist/collectivist., as was nationalism.
Ironically though, it is only the adversaries of such progressives that are painted as "racists" as they try to hold onto nationalism in order to fight globalism and the destruction of their national sovereignty, much like the tribal Indians who tried to fight off the European invaders. It reminds me of the saying, "accuse the other side of that which you are guilty", which is often attributed to the Nazi propaganda administer Goebbels.
So even though there are racist nationalists, just remember, not all are. In addition, these constructs were created by globalists to begin with.
Revelations is telling us or tells us alot about these things in which are written within the Bibles books on the subjects. Makes one wonder where it all is now, and how much longer the world has to go before the sequence of events we are told about in the book are to be fulfilled ??
Revelations talks about the mark and how everyone will need to have it in order to buy and sell.
That sounds like a centralized global system to me.
Sadly, it is not that far fetched. Having a world government mark us would be ideal and something they long to do and we have the technology to do it. In fact, many are doing it right now for various reasons.
Think of it. If this mark was used to identify you and track you and to use as a credit card, then it would solve a whole slew of problems, such as missing persons, running from the law, cheating on taxes, filing taxes, using it as a health data base so that when you find someone unconscious you just scan their information and you know all about them and how to treat them, etc.
There is no doubt about it. Marking people would be highly efficient and probably be promoted once the world economic system fails.
Just looking at government spending around the globe, it's almost as if they are wanting this to happen sooner than latter.
