To what, specifically, do you object? I'd be interested to explore this
topic here on OT.Debate, but I'd like to know something more concrete about
your views. In any case, "Know about it/Fear it" is little more than
demagoguery.

Well, if you think that we're not already enslaved in countless ways,
you're deliberately avoiding certain facts. In any case, why is
globalization a problem, exactly? To me, a world-wide state, in which the
texture and character of cultures can mix and learn from each other, is
pretty close to a Utopian ideal. Or are you objecting to possibility that a
single agenda will overtake (nearly) the entire human population?

Demagoguery.
Dave!
