I know I sound like an utter crank bitching about le globalists but I really do believe that the greatest vector pushing internationalism and secular humanism in the US has been the CIA.
How can you look at Margaret Mead and her Coming of Age in American Samoa and Ruth Benedict and her Chrysanthemum and the Flower and how they treated people like Bob Taft as being so akin to 19th cent protectionists, so obviously incorrect that they couldn't even be considered even while the CIA kept shooting themselves with Cuba, Iran, etc.
Edit: tbc, by this I mean much more "there is one race, the human race" and "From A Distance" Kellogg-Briand bullshit much more than "Marxist CRT" bullshit -- the latter arises when your classmates at Yale are annoying versions of the former type.
