Globalism is a right-wing code word for Jewish
- Veen 4y agoNot in this case it isn't. Globalism has a widely accepted definition in political science.
- Arnt 4y agoDo you think ARandomerDude uses the wird in that widely accepted sense?
- acdha 4y agoGlobalism has a history, yes, but it’s unclear what reason we have to believe that has any connection to recent events. She wasn’t exactly ousted for going against some Tory ideal of being part of an internationally-integrated economy - those people voted to stay in the EU! - and given the heated “coup” miscategorization the right-winger explanation seems more likely.
- Veen 4y agoWell, I'm a right-winger: a one-nation Tory to be precise. When I say globalism I mean: "structuring society and the economy around the free movement of capital, people, and goods across borders. Generally with the belief that these are good things." (I'm paraphrasing Rayiner's comment above). I do not mean: 'The Jews control everything and $(event) is part of an evil Jewish plot.' https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33317480 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33317480
- acdha 4y agoYeah, I remembered your posting history. I guess I would phrase my question as whether you really think that he used that as part of some thoughtful economic worldview but also felt “coup” was accurate?
