If you’ve spent any time arguing with right-wing trolls online, you’ve probably encountered the alt-right’s new favorite buzzword (that isn’t really a word): “globohomo.” And you may have found yourself wondering: What on earth is a globohomo, anyway, and why are right-wingers so mad about it?
The term has been floating about for several years now; I first encountered it way back in 2016 on the blog of everyone’s favorite racist pickup artist, Heartiste, and our old friend fiend Roosh V is fond of it as well. But it’s gained popularity in the last year or so, serving as a sort of catch-all replacement for the term “white genocide” for some of the people who, well, used to use the term “white genocide” all the time.
Ostensibly, “globohomo” is short for “global homogenization,” a an alleged vast conspiracy to destroy “traditional” culture and values and replace them with a sort of global (naturally) corporate uniculture.
But it’s rarely used in this way, at least not exactly. For those who’ve seized upon the term, “globo” means “globalist” and therefore Jews; while “homo” (the suffix) means, well, “homo” (the slur). (Some, evidently worried that “globohomo” isn’t gay-sounding enough, add “gayplex” to it — “globohomo gayplex.”)
And so “globohomo” has come to mean something like “the global homosexual/Jewish conspiracy to degenerate our culture up real good with drag queens and anal sex and possibly Ben Shapiro.”
If that definition seems a bit incoherently exapansive, that’s because the trolls who’ve embraced the term are using it as an all-purpose epithet. Perhaps the only way to truly define “globohomo” is to see how people (and I use that term lightly) are using it on, for example, Twitter.
Here are just a few of the things that right-wing trolls think are a part of the “globohomo” agenda.
Jews:
Actual LGBTQ people:
LGBTQ people “indoctrinating” children by existing:
Butt sex, literal and figurative:
Crossdressing:
Crossdressing in libraries, specifically
Trans women:
Music videos:
The Cats movie trailer:
Netflix:
Walmart:
Mountain Dew:
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization and/or “poopdick.”
Rainbow flags:
Soy (but of course):
Forced bug-eating?
White genocide:
Christian genocide:
Donald Trump?
Ivanka Trump:
Ben Shapiro!?
And then there’s this. Apparently the evil Jews who run Globohomo really don’t like … Game Theory?
Any questions?

@Kimstu and then leave her to raise the child/children with no support (financial or otherwise)
Good lord, Faith Goldy. I still find it disturbing how she placed third in the popular vote in the last Toronto mayoral election. (Granted, third meant ‘first among the candidates that weren’t serious candidates’, getting 3% compared to 63% for the winner and 24% for the primary competitor. But that’s still 3% too high. At least that means that even Ford Nation mostly didn’t take her seriously.)
What will our enemies think? Any of our enemies who think less of us for actually allowing an inclusive military deserve to underestimate us as a result.
And I note she explicitly only talks about the men who serve.

Well that’s the weirdest anti-vegan ̶h̶a̶r̶a̶s̶s̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ protest I’ve ever seen. They’re not even trying to not look like assholes.
@Big Titty Demon
I’m pretty sure that’s the de facto mode of operation for harassers these days. Internet trolls know they’re assholes and are proud of it.
Nicely done, but I can’t take credit for that. “Hope, cope, rope” is incel cant.
@Ariblester
I know. It’s just the way I saw them in what you wrote that inspired me. I won a bunch of poetry contests as a kid and I write the lyrics for a band I’m in, so I’d say I’m probably ok as a poet.
You’d think Faith Goldy and friends would want more gays in the military, instead of valuable baby producing straight people putting their lives at risk. Of course part of that is because they think all gay people match the most ridiculous effeminate stereotype you could imagine. Gay people in the military will just make the Muslim conquest of the West more likely.
Nope. Acknowledging the existence of gays in any way other than condemnation is a form of legitimization, and they definitely do not want that.
@tim gueguen, Ariblester
Homophobic right wing assholes: Everyone should serve in the military. War is great! Yay!
Also homophobic right wing assholes: Don’t let in gay people who want to serve. Only straight men, including some who don’t. Rather than letting gays in, let’s draft straight people who don’t want to serve.
I think every war the US has engaged in post-WWII was a mistake. Nobody has successfully convinced me otherwise. Mainly because militarists typically rely on argumentum ad shout-at-me-about-how-unpatriotic-I-am-if-I-don’t-support-every-war-and-the-troops. Not a very persuasive tactic.
What Faith Goldy has nightmares about:
Wait, WTF!?!? Go home Alt-right, you’re drunk.
@Rabid Rabbit:
Spot on! (and thanks 4 referencing 1 of my favorite Monty Python bits ever).
Btw, is your nym a reference to said rabbit of Holy Grail fame? If not, it should be.
Even Korea? Not trying to start an argument, just interested in hearing your opinion of it.
@ObSidJag:
Not intentionally. I realized it could be read that way later, and saw no reason to change it in consequence.
@Ariblester:
In the long term, I think the most important consequence of the Korean War was that it firmly established that the US Army was subservient to the civilian government.
On the other hand, it’s a war that wasn’t really won, but (rather like Germany after WWI) also wasn’t clearly lost, which probably played a part in the US not realizing that you shouldn’t start a land war in Asia when Vietnam came around.
@Ariblester
I just think we had no business getting involved there, and there was no Congressional approval, so it was unconstitutional.
I thought “homo” in globohomo meant homogenous.
I first heard of this word when someone was talking about a GrubHub commercial, where the characters dance and music plays while they order food.
