Baba-Mail--Nationalist or Globalist--That Is the Question

Date: Sunday, June 23, 2024 7:24 AM EDT

Just finished taking another Baba-mail exam.  This one was to determine whether i am a "nationalist" or a "globalist".  Considering the fact that my new theory is called globanomics, i kind of figured which side of the fence i was going to fall on before taking the test.  But just the same, i was a bit surprised when Baba-Mail said that i was a 100% Globalist defined in the following manner:

------

"You are a complete globalist! This doesn't mean you don't like your country or are proud of it. You can be a proud patriot and still appreciate the wider world and accept that all cultures are just as valid as yours, if different. You have no problem mingling with other cultures, living abroad, or welcoming other cultures into your hearth and home.

As a globalist, you are more likely to be left-wing than right, more likely to be liberal about social reform and even economic systems, though you don't have to be. You are anti-war, and shed a tear no matter who in the world is dying. You don't consider yourself the enemy of other cultures and countries, but, even if ready to defend your country, you wish there was no more war and violence in any part of the war - have we not matured pass this point yet?"

-----

Baba-mail knows me better than the NYTimes does.

ps.  I think the way you feel towards immigration pretty much determines on which side of the fence Baba-mail is going to put you.  Immigrants are "Others" and nationalist fervors tend to dislike Others.  Immigrant haters tend to be "right wing" in their thinking and Baba-mail interprets that to be "nationalistic" in tone.
