Haha it is funny that you oppose only with the arguments you read from fact checkers instead of going to Youtube and see what those globalists says by themselves. In every country the top politicians goes regularly to their meetings who talks harsh things directly and all you know is that all they talked is a conspiracy theory. You always repeat the sentences who nobody actually said, expect fact checkers. Lol
Since you described them as "globalists", it's clear that anything you say can easily be disregarded
Firstly, the term “globalists” is an anti-Semitic dogwhistle. Beyond that usage, it’s meaningless.
Secondly, YouTube is riddled with disinformation. This is primarily due to the algorithm which drives receptive users to extremist videos (and skeptical users who might refute those videos away from them). It’s also because it’s a lot more difficult to fact-check spoken language than written language.
I’m not siding with that maniac but can you please elaborate how “globalist” is code for antisemitism? I thought it was a rallying call for nationalists with no racial connotations but I’m obviously missing something.
The idea has definitely come up that there’s an association between the “globalist” pejorative and anti-Semitism (globalism -> conspiracy that secretly controls the world -> Jewish conspiracy), but it’s not as cut and dry as I thought.
Relevant Wikipedia entry about new anti-Semitism
If only we could have understood how dangerous it would be for one or two generations of people with zero understanding of what "research" means to be allowed to propagate that misunderstanding to hundreds of millions of people.
Watching videos on YouTube doesn't equal "research," and thinking it does is actively making you stupid.
