"They see our society as a zero-sum game, whose only real problem is that straight white males have too much and everyone else has too little." DK, excerpt
Not only has liberal globalization not been a zero sum game for the West, it has been a negative sum game, as I have pointed out here before, even in basic economic terms which even a slightly retarded follower of Lester Thurow could follow, and which a casual perusal of Piketty discloses as a fault in his analysis.
The more the West (and by the West I don't mean just white male imperialist elites but rather every Western Civilization person of whatever class or gender) liberally globalized after 1760, catering to and encouraging most every democratic inclination, and most colonial demands for independence or assistance, of whatever kind or type, technology transfer especially, the more it has paid the price as a Civilization in decline.
