Globalism itself isn't intrinsically bad as long as the rules, customs and laws of the nation state are still respected.
because alex jones told me it's bad.

Because reality is a zero sum game, one unit of a resource one group has another one clearly does not.

Globalism is a good thing, but so are nation-states. Not only does it divide the world up into manageable administrative areas, but we're a long way off from incorporating areas of Africa and the Middle East into the global community--let alone any kind of global federal arrangement--due to all the sectarian conflict and poverty.
Alright, show me one year where every single country had economic growth.
but the main longterm goal would be to unify the world right?
so we just have to get rid of cultural problems.
Conflicts of interest. Just look at the EU. What's good for the collective isn't necessarily good for the individual. I'm not personally against it...until it fucks me over. Unlikely that there'd ever be some sort of Star Trek-type government running the whole Earth through peace and equality, more likely you'd have one country just take over everywhere else and erase previous ideals and culture with their own.
Humanity hasn't grown out of tribalism yet. For a globalist society to exist, we need to ditch the idea of our tribes

Tribalism will be the only thing keeping humanity unified by the time it becomes a spacefaring species.

A little game called Halo. Which it the quintessential us vs them story
