Globalism has been a right-populist boogeyman for a while now.

Reactionaries use the term "Globalism" to describe what is essentially a post-american world order or at least one in which America is not the hegemonic power. This talking point will dry up when America is blown away.

No it’s used by right wingers to describe the reduction in power of the nation state. It has nothing to do with America. Not everything has to do with America. There are countries that aren’t America. Do you understand this Christcom?
Aaron Garcia
Are you seriously not noticing how much America dick sucking all these "anti-globalist" reactionaries do?

The US specifically, at least in their Fox News poisoned minds

Tommy Robinson and the impact of the super-rich on UK politics
In 2017 Robinson began campaigning against what he called "grooming gangs," appearing outside the courts and denouncing the defendants because of their religion and warning that their abuse had been covered up. He was arrested for contempt of court, and within just one day £20,000 in donations were raised to support him.The following year Robinson was arrested again outside a court in Leeds, for contempt of court, after placing a live video on Facebook about a child exploitation trial. He was briefly jailed, and while his case was appealed his supporters staged a mass demonstration in London in July that turned violent. It was the largest right-wing demonstration since the 1970s and it was funded by a think tank in the US called Middle East Forum.One of the activists present was Avi Yemini who denounced Islam as a barbaric ideology and claimed it had taken over England. Another speaker was Carl Benjamin who was revealed to have sent the Labour MP Jess Phillips a tweet threatening rape. Benjamin has over 880,000 YouTube subscribers and has posted videos denouncing not just Islam but feminism. He has now enrolled as a member of UKIP.Although Robinson depicts himself as a mere underdog whose campaign against Islam has been suppressed by the establishment, he is now receiving more funding from right-wing groups than anyone else in Britain.

Russiagate vs. Climate Genocide: How Democrats Cover Up Trump’s Worst Crime
The more important an issue is to humanity, the likelier it is Democrats don’t want to discuss it.Thus, it’s hardly surprising that Noam Chomsky felt obliged to point out the “moral depravity” of both major parties for discussing neither climate change nor the increasing risk of nuclear war during the recent midterm election campaigns. It’s likewise hardly surprising that the Republican Party, which Chomsky rightly terms “the most dangerous organization in human history,” likes to stay mum on the real nature of its wantonly destructive policies. But what’s truly amazing—until one habituates to the mammoth corruption of current U.S. politics—is how utterly unwilling today’s Democratic Party is to discuss issues that would paint Republicans in not merely in an unflattering, but in a criminally insane light.

The Strategy of International Class Struggle and the Political Fight Against Capitalist Reaction in 2019
As this statement was being completed, the International Committee of the Fourth International learned of the untimely death due to cancer, on December 31, 2018 at the age of 57, of its comrade Halil Celik, the founder and leader of its sympathizing group in Turkey, Sosyalist Eşitlik. This statement is dedicated to the memory of this intransigent revolutionary and fighter for Trotskyism.1. At the start of last year, the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) stated: “This new year of 2018—the bicentenary of Marx’s birth—will be characterized, above all, by an immense intensification of social tensions and an escalation of class conflict around the world.”Events have substantiated this prediction.

Christcom, your entire worldview is based on America. You have to understand that the world is more than America.
The only reason why most of these people are bro-US is because most of the live in the US.
Nathan Nguyen
This is because the Democrats are not just complicit in the Republican’s worse crimes, but active participants. Obama oversaw eight years of “war on terror.” He also sat on his bum for eight years and let fracking take over the midwest and do nothing to support Nuclear and Renewable energy.
Levi Martin
the only answer the neoliberals will have towards climate change is cosmetic. They might also use it as an excuse to fuck over poor people. Like marcon did in france with that tax.
