Paul Denton, Arguments Against Globalism

[@youtubeisnotsocialmedia]

Reminder: This game was made in the 90's. And it's still highly relevant.

[@mdd4296]

A lot of the cause and effect of globalism was already studied in the 70s. Most of it still hold true today.

[@harunocaleon5786]

@@mdd4296 Thing is. Critics against globalism in western media is really taboo, nowadays it would be even harder since they could accuse you of being an alt-right conspiracy theorist. Just look at how they catalogue Cultural Marxism (Critical Theory) as an alt-right conspiracy theory, even though it never was one, and every academia and marxist ideologist was calling it a legitimate thing.

[@ThBlueSalamander]

It's only gotten MORE relevant. It was also released a year before 911... and how does the game start out? xd

[@ThBlueSalamander]

@@harunocaleon5786 George Carlin was absolutely right

[@Scarletraven87]

The most modern thing it spoke about is making a government with an AI at the top. Until that happend which might be 60 years from now, Deus Ex will always be futuristic.

[@G-MONEY1996]

Watched my dad play this on his PC in the early 2000s, I just cared much about the gameplay but didn't realize until over a decade later, how political it was. This game pretty much taught me about government and freedom more more than my high school government class would.

[@demod2080]

It's pretty damning when a video game this old predicts just how out of hand Big Government becomes.

[@thisdudegotreal]

Spoiler alert the governments in this game get manipulated by the CEO of a corporation.

[@Web720]

So big government to make big corporations. Hand in hand.

[@keto4366]

This game basically was what if all 90s conspiracy theories where right? Turns out a lot of them where right.

[@warriorwolf77]

It's good that this game has no bearing on reality at all. Right?

[@jeremygale4849]

I remember this game when i was 15 its still one of my favorites. Alot of truth bombs were just dropped in this game and is still relivent in my life now .

[@ianbaker672]

I think he is talking about a global government, not a global economy. In my opinion, having a world made up of independent small states working together economically is fine. Its when hierarchies are made where the problems begin.

[@G-MONEY1996]

Exactly, hence we ain't like the Borg from Star Trek, or Nazi Germany.

[@pugnome]

I wouldnt call this economic globalism

[@michaelandreipalon359]

I have my doubts on opposing globalism, but even then, I'm not gonna brag that. Too sensitive enough to leave things well silent for now while enjoying this clipshow.

[@hk9034]

Why does this make no sense to me? O. o

[@thisdudegotreal]

Define globalism

[@thisdudegotreal]

@Alex Guolo you defined Globalization. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalism

[@PapitoQinn]

Something I was supposed to do from the beginning. I added the Oxford definition to the description.
