      By this point, I suspect a lot of people who use the term don’t actually know anymore. To them it just means “the shadowy bad guys who want to ruin my life specifically”.

            Okay, are we all here? Let’s discuss Jeb Blinkersen, 29, of 39 waukee way, Minnesota. Have we done anything to ruin his life lately? Looks like he got a raise recently, shit, we’ve got to get ahead of this NOW. Johnson, I want you to breed up some samples of that bat-whale-bear virus we’ve been incubating in RFK, and make sure there’s an accident. Stevens, call his boss and tell him to send the factory to China OR ELSE. Yeah, they probably won’t like the higher profit margins, but make it clear they have no choice. We’ll show Jeb to let his guard down. Good meeting everyone, let’s meet again next week about Amanda Hugenkiss, priority omega seven; Zuckerberg says she seems actually happy and she might be trying to leave Facebook.

      I always read it as companies who were responsible for offshoring labor. I might be too generous though.

        That’s part of the power of the term. Globalism is a valid term for a view about how integrated international markets foster economic and social benefits, while Globalist is often used as a racist dogwhistle. Racists often use small variations of accepted terms to conflate and low key their hatred in public venues.

          I don’t disagree with you in the North American context, but in other parts of the world you can have totally normal discussions about the merits of globalization/globalism and globalists without it being a dogwhistle. And you can be a critic of “globalism” (better understood as a configuration of imperialism) without being a racist or even for explicitly anti-racist reasons.

    Honestly, it shouldn’t be that hard. Just use some of their ironic stuff, but sincerely. Bulls on Parade is pretty much an authoritarian capitalist anthem if you take it at face value.

      Bulls on Parade (Hell Yeah Cover)

      Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes (Hell yeah!)

      Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal (Hell yeah!)

      I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library (Hell yeah!)

      Line up to the mind cemetery now (Hell yeah!)

      What they don’t know keeps the contracts alive and movin’ (Hell yeah!)

      We don’t gotta burn the books we just remove 'em (Hell yeah!)

      While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells (Hell yeah!)

      Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells (Hell yeah!)
