In the 21st century, good nationalists must also be globalists. Globalism doesn’t mean establishing a global government, abandoning all national traditions, or opening the border to unlimited immigration. Rather, globalism means a commitment to some global rules. Rules that don’t deny the uniqueness of each nation, but only regulate the relations between nations. A good model for this is the Football World Cup. The World Cup is a competition between nations, where people often show fierce loyalty to their national team. But the World Cup is also an amazing display of global harmony. Brazil can't play football against Morocco unless the Brazilians and the Moroccans agree on the same rules for the game. And that’s global cooperation in action. If you like the World Cup, you're already a globalist. Hopefully, nations can agree on global rules not just for football, but also for how to prevent ecological collapse, how to regulate dangerous technologies, and how to reduce global inequality. Global problems require global solutions. #YuvalNoahHarari #WorldCup2026 #Globalism #Cooperation #Quotes
