The Battle in Seattle in 1999 was when I first became aware of opposition to globalism. At the time I was confused because I'd always been taught more connections between the peoples and nations of the world was always good. To see people who I recognized as having very similar values to my own fighting so passionately against something I had until then never questioned being good was quite the wake up call to learn more about all sides of the issue. So now it's very odd to me to see many of the same people and groups have turned into cheerleaders for globalism. The position now doesn't seem to be so much a position as an anti-position against the anti-globalist views of the rising populist groups. The speed at which it has happened is what's really surprising.
