Globalist

/ˈɡloʊbəlɪst/ noun

Kelly Says

Globalist has become a controversial term, especially since the 2010s—often used pejoratively by nationalist groups. The same word can be used as self-identification (cosmopolitan citizen) or as an accusation (elitist conspirator), showing how language encodes political values.
