Globalism (at least the form.thst concretely exists and is being protested) is capitalism; it's true that some of the current protest is nationalist, xenophobic, and corporatist, while some of it class-conscious, not targeted against any non-economic identity group, and socialist, and that despite protesting against the same thing those two groups are diametrically opposed.
No, none of that is “media talking points”.
> and have nothing to say about globalism contributing to inequality and protest?
Other than the fact that I explicitly agreed that both xenophobic nationalistic corporatists and socialists are protesting in response to capitalist globalism...yes, actually I have more to say on the topic (and already said it in another subthread):
Literally talking points used to discredit conservative populism.
And from your previous comment:
> class-conscious, not targeted against any non-economic identity group, and socialist
Again, media talking points. PC culture has taken over the left; now instead of talking about inequality, they talk about a 'New Green Deal', gender pronouns, open borders/increased immigration, etc...
On the right, limiting immigration and tariffs are their solutions to reducing the outsourcing of labour (and both are valid economic principles), yet it gets dismissed with negative adjectives.
In both cases, all these talking points distract from the fact that inequality is the problem, globalism is one of the driving forces of inequality, and it's all glossed over by the media talking points you repeated.
Globalism promised a future where we could outsource manual labour to developing countries and we'd all have jobs in the information sector. Well now we're automating large parts of that sector, outsourcing some too, meanwhile we've also outsourced manufacturing and labour, now all we have left is shitty service jobs. It was by design and let's face it, people aren't happy.
US media can bury their heads in the sand all they want, but all these events are an indictment of globalism and all over the western world people are sick of it.
