Is nationalism truly antithetical to globalism, Hive account@micahspiller ? Weren't the last three periods of increased central control (the global gold standard of the mid-1800s, post-WWI, and post-WWII) preceded by periods of intense nationalism?

Looking back at the past 200 years of the Anglo-American Establishment, one is hard-pressed to find an example of nationalistic fervor that isn't eventually spun into greater centralized control...
