this is a good counter argument. I ask the same question about the individual vs city vs state vs nation scales. though I dont think you agree it applies.
The founding rally for the American revolution was "no taxation without representation". It was basically anti-globalism - you don't even live here so why do you get to run our lives??
same could be asked of people in America (US gov way to big etc.), why should someone in Maine make decisions for someone in California (or even Ohio).
