    Unspoken: Some US elites see themselves as "citizens of the world," & view the nation state as antiquated. (I do not share this view.)

        Do you mean the elites who put up hotels around the world and consider their very name to be a "global brand"? Or some other kind?

        Leading the way down this path are and have been journalists. My earliest reckoning of this was during the Viet Nam war. #Cronkite #Rather

        Nationhood is vital to freedom, just as economic competition is. People have to be able to vote with their feet. One World is a BAD idea.

        Well...the nation state IS antiquated AND responsible for the majority of conflicts in the last century.

        In a globalized world it's about protecting the upper middle classes in each respective country.. ppl who fall through the cracks be damned

        So.. for many people, it's easier to relate to and see more of a vested interest in fellow winners. Not people in bumfuck Kansas

        Really not much different from seeing oneself as citizen of a country not just of a state...not so much in too many red states.
