A conservative talking point that takes anti-Capitalist sentiment and twists it into Reactionary crap. (i.e., “The Wealthy Elites do stuff at the expense of everyone else worldwide” turns into “DURRR THE WOKE GLOBALISTS WANT TO ERASE STRAIGHT WHITE PEOPLE REEEE”)
My guess is that it diverts attention away from the Bourgeoisie and instead turns it into Chauvinism (which the Bourgeoisie can more easily handle)
Also the “Globalist” rhetoric reactionaries like to use is loaded with antisemitic dogwhistles iirc
