I'm not risking much by saying that the world was never as equal or stable. People migrate more now because they can (thanks to tech advances and permissive politics). Before, it was an order of magnitude harder.

I know globalization is inevitable. Where people disagree is on the rate of change: let's speed it up (progressives) or slow it down (conservatives). The average people - the ones who are paying the bill - want to slow it down. Let's just accept it.
