I think this project is awful and dystopian as well. But I disagree on using "globalists" as a slur. Globalism is awesome, free markets capitalism does not need artificial lines on a map.
Globalism in the colloquial sense is anything but a free market. It's corporate colonialism.

You say "corporate colonialism" as if it's a bad thing. Corporate colonialism is awesome. In the last 20 years corporations brought so much, I can literally let my apartment be cleaned by a robot while sitting on the couch and order food while staying on the couch and have endless entertainment while staying on the couch.
All these things were made by international supply lines, programmers from india, designers from Europe, management from the US, awesome mexican canteen food from my buddy Carlos etc. Just imagine how much even further we would have come with a decentralized hard money that doesn't know borders like Bitcoin
Try reading Adam Smith instead of spreading literally communist propaganda

I agree with you that the concept is lovely, but I didn't invent that particular term. It is already out there in the wild, and it refers to a very specific group of people who have nothing awesome intended for you. Also, I needed a G word for the alliteration. :)
