that's exactly what globalization did for billions of people once oppressed by colonialists Countries, such as the UK.
You could stop buying cheap plastic, but you'll never get the empire back.
Because people want their great grandchildren to have a homeland to live in peace
But you can have a poorer Country as in richer than 90% of the World, but not as rich as in the past when they exploited the poorest Countries for their own advantage, and call it homeland. You can be sure nobody wants it, you can keep it.
You also seem to believe that the point of it all is just lower prices, but the actual reality is that UK doesn't even have enough people to operate their own homeland's hospitals. [1]
You should blame your own political choices, not globalization.

Those hospitals are understaffed because of extraordinary levels of foreign immigration (globalism); extremely high rates of reproduction among foreigners in Britain, many of whom add a disproportionate burden to the system (globalism ); an indigenous population displaced and demoralised in their own ancestral homeland, with record numbers of young people opting out of education and employment (globalism); indigenous Brits discriminated against in admissions and applications due to policies favouring foreigners in pursuit of diversity (globalism); plummeting birth rates among indigenous Brits due to a prevailing sense of existential insecurity, financial insecurity, loss of community, unsure future for their children, anti-natal and anti-nationalist propaganda (globalism); a top-heavy indigenous population courtesy of the former point, burdening the healthcare system; etc.
It's little wonder there is such resentment towards globalism and diversity among ethnic Europeans worldwide. Blaming the English for the problems imposed on them will only fuel this fire.
Billions of people do.
Don't confuse what you don't like with what nobody likes.
You had the freedom to vote, you voted, you elected people from your Country to govern your own Country, can't blame anyone else.

But it's the opposite.
extremely low birth rates in the west are sinking the economy.
Come to visit my country where there are 18 million retired people on a population of 60 million and very low birth rates.
Besides, Ukraine has one of the lowest birth rates we know of, didn't help them much, did it?
Anyway, you had your Brexit, didn't you?
So, now that it's only you "indigenous" things are improving over there, right? It worked, am I right?
> an indigenous population displaced and demoralised in their own ancestral homeland,
You mean when you colonized other countries and brought them to your country to be slaves?
Ever heard of the windrush generation?
> indigenous Brits discriminated against in admissions and applications due to policies favouring foreigners in pursuit of diversity (globalism);

UK has a birth rate of 1.7, in Hungary where there are virtually no immigrants, birth rate is 1.5.
Can you guess China's birth rate?
It's 1.7, exactly like UK.
I think something does not add up in your theory.
BTW, birth rates in the west are all very similar, but the economic outcomes of the single Countries are vastly different. For many reasons. One of them is that my Country cannot rely on former colonies to hire nurses and pay them less than the average "indigenous brits", as you call them.
Because we have no former colonies to exploit and the few we acquired during fascism, we left them be, because it's wrong to treat people like that.
Like, for example, what your German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha Kings and Queens later renamed Windsor to hide the fact that they are German, not English, together with their relative Lepold I of Belgium did to Africa.
> It's little wonder there is such resentment towards globalism and diversity among ethnic Europeans worldwide
We agree on this.
It's no wonder, when western people had to actually compete they found out that they are not as good as they thought, without their armies protecting them they were just average.
Unfortunately for you, your dream of being a pure blooded race having ancestral rights over the promise land have been shuttered by reality.
You can deal with it or keep crying in the corner, blaming some poor folks brought by force to your country.
Are these "indigenous brits" just a bunch of whiny spoiled brats that can't take their faith in their own hands, without external help?
This sentence attributed to Luiss CK sums it
"Of course foreigners steal your job, but maybe, if someone without contacts, money, or speaking the language steals your job, maybe, you're shit."
~ Louis C. K..
Rubbish. The rest of your post is just as bad.
I feel a heavy sense of pity and remorse for anyone so demoralised and deracinated that they have a greater connection to "tech" than to blood and soil. That's such an empty, nihilistic existence. What's even the point?
Another commenter points out that the worker must actually love globalism because of widgets from China. Who cares? I would give up every bit of cheap plastic junk in a heartbeat if it meant my great grandchildren will have a homeland to live in peace and prosperity among their own. How on earth can anyone put a price on that, nevermind such a low one?
