I never knew exactly what “globalism” was (or maybe I did know, but forgot), so I looked it up:
globalism /glō′bə-lĭz″əm/
A national geopolitical policy in which the entire world is regarded as the appropriate sphere for a state’s influence.
The development of social, cultural, technological, or economic networks that transcend national boundaries; globalization.
An ideology based on the belief that people, goods and information ought to be able to cross national borders unfettered.
So… it’s the opposite of imperialism. You respect and coexist with other cultures rather than trying to dominate them. Nobody builds border walls. Real freedom instead of freedumb as defined by white Christian males. It’s kinda like empathy on a global scale. No wonder selfish, insensitive pricks hate it!
So, a lot of the time with nut jobs like this, globalists is just a code word for Jews.
However, there is a legitimate dark side to globalism as it’s conventionally defined outside of neonazi talking points. Globalism is often used as cover for neocolonialism, where poor countries are “better” for resource extraction because the salaries are low and nobody cares about the environmental costs. Meanwhile, rich countries are “better” for design, financial work, technical jobs, etc because the wealth of the populace means people are better educated.
This traps poorer countries in poverty as the only investments are in low-skill manual labour in an environmentally degraded landscape, while the bulk of the profits go into corporations headquartered in wealthier countries. In other words, systemic wealth extraction.
Ah. I was only looking at the bright side, where everyone was treated equally and politicians just STFU and put their petty disagreements aside. I see what you’re talking about.

“Globalism” in right wing speak means “Jews.”
That’s it. The belief that a cabal of Jews control the world.
You hit the definition above right, but they aren’t using it.
I’ve never heard that before. More evidence of right wing idiocy.

Also, bigots can suck it.
