@the-infinity I feel every decibel of your despairing howl, bro. And like you, I don't particularly blame globalization. As someone who proports to have communist values, it would be disingenuous for me to slag off international trade, as Marx aspired to a utopian ideal of international borders falling away under socialism. The trouble is, I don't think even he could have imagined the type of weird, hole-ridden false economy we're currently living with.
