Globalism has multiple meanings. In political science, it is used to describe "attempts to understand all of the interconnections of the modern world—and to highlight patterns that underlie (and explain) them".[1] While primarily associated with world-systems, it can be used to describe other global trends. The concept of globalism is also classically used to focus on ideologies of globalization (the subjective meanings) instead of its processes (the objective practices);[2] in this sense, "globalism" is to globalization what "nationalism" is to nationality.
The term; "the Globalists" was popularized by Alex Jones, and used interchangeably with the New World Order and the Deep State. This term is now frequently used as a pejorative by far-right movements and conspiracy theorists. It is sometimes associated with antisemitism, as antisemites frequently appropriate the term "Globalist" to refer to Jews.[3][4][5][3] However Alex Jones has made it clear he is not referring to Jews. According to Infowars, they occasionally mention that the worst organization in the Deep State by far is the CIA. Alex Jones has also personally expressed his view that centralized AI could be used to bring about globalist governance.
