Why do you think populism is on the rise globally, and how does it make you feel about the future of international relations?

I don't have a strict understanding of populism, but if it's about "our country first, screw the others" that's definitely a bad thing. Not just for international relations but for ourselves. Declining first world populations cause all kinds of problems in capitalist economies. We need to keep supporting immigration and modest population growth, or else change a lot of our political and economic systems.
