Consistent at all scales
I habitually use the local money-talk station for dull background buzz.
On weekends they feature 'outdoorsy' programs. Most are pro-gun and pro-2nd-amendment types. One of the 'outdoorsy' programs is more corporate and governmental, often cheerfully discussing the SUCCESS of mass murder by grizzly and wolf. The starting assumption for this program is that wolves and grizzlies MUST be reintroduced and MUST kill Deplorables. The only question is how fast and how many we can kill within budgetary limits. Like Goering worrying about the gas bill.
The contrast forced a realization: Globalism and localism are both about WEAPONS.
On every scale the basic pattern is consistent.
Globalists are AGGRESSIVE, localists are DEFENSIVE.
Globalists start revolutions and attack other countries with bombs and armies. Globalists weaponize grizzlies and wolves and "protesters" and media and migrants and "scientists" and criminals, and send them out to destroy innocent lives. Any attempt to defend yourself against any of these weapons is treated as AGGRESSION.
Localists insist on their right to use WALLS and GUNS and BORDERS and FACTS and POLICE to DEFEND themselves against the armies and bombs and grizzlies and wolves and "protesters" and media and migrants and "scientists" and criminals sent out by globalists.
