Ever since the 1980s and 1990s we been hearing about the rise of Globalization that one day all borders will render extinct, the world would be grouped into inter-regional blocks, goods would have easy access to all markets,and mass immigration of all people now since the 2010s we are seeing a pushback in Europe with the rise of Right wing factions, America with Trump, In Asia populism and nationalism have also boomed as well so do you guys still believe in globalization or for nationalism thoughts??

Nationalism always. Globalisation that can co-exist with a basic civic nationalism of a people is fine by me...its when the former encroaches the latter, we got a problem. The problem with globalism is it is not satisfied with just the natural equilibrium, it always wants to keep shifting/expanding....so it will have to be cut back to the relevant size by the blowback of it being somewhat unfettered for a good few decades now.
E.U changing from previous simple trade bloc/customs union to a legislative supra-authority (that people cannot even directly vote for) thanks to there being no appropriate timeframe-testing of things like a common currency/common court system etc across nationalities....is a good example. The fraying (from real social brittleness over assumed/claimed elasticity) will come inevitably when you introduce something at such impulse. This is what the posturing emotional elite will never understand....and they simply claim the massres are irrational and emotional when they question what they broadly see happening on the ground (where the elite do not and NEVER live and exist in). They will have to learn things the hard way again....it comes down to insulated egos again.
