Ah, the 'global elite,' who they also call 'globalists.' And who are they talking about?
The term is now frequently used as a pejorative by far-right movements and conspiracy theorists, as in the New World Order conspiracy theory;[3] it is associated with antisemitism, as antisemites frequently appropriate the term globalist to refer to Jews.[3][4][5]
Remember, that's just a wild conspiracy. Criticizing the Israeli government's genocide is antisemitic though...
The way you've phrased this sounds like you think there really is a Jewish cabal that runs the world and is ruining it.
I apologize if you thought I was implying that. I am in no way agreeing that there is a "Deep State" or anything to that effect. I was trying to draw criticism to DeSantis' use of the word Globalists, which does have antisemitic overtones, while the House just passed a bill that could lead to criticism of Israel in any way would count as antisemitism.
Sarcasm on the internet is hard to convey.
He is just a turd.

Brought to you by the "party defending your freedom"...
and "small government"
I didn't realize the market was so fragile and needed conservatives to control it so closely. You learn something new every day!
Ya, you know, free-market and all that. Exactly what they have been borking up a tree about for decades now.
/s for those that need it.
Something about "global elite" just sounds antisemitic to me... is this the new new "international Jewry?"
Could be I just have a hair trigger response these days, though
Yeah - it’s an Alex Jones thing. “International bankers” or the “global elite” are conniving with George Soros and Bill Gates to make you live in a “fifteen minute city” and eat da bugs.
and eat da bugs.
I'M DOING MY PART!

It's a dog whistle yes
I AM THE GLOBAL ELITE.
KNEEL BEFORE MY VEGAN MIGHT!
ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR.
I want lab grown steaks so bad. Why are these 'Capitalist' so against the free market?
Imo this is clearly influenced by the meat lobby, National Cattleman's Beef Association, or the like. They know many people would happily pay for lab grown meat, which would destroy their current market, forcing a costly pivot where they would lose their historic market control.
Whenever weird shit like this happens in the US, it's all about money and market control and then painted as "protecting you from the EVIL LEFT" or some stupid shit.
What an idiot. So now I can't buy impossible burgers?
To my understanding, Impossible burgers are plant based / vegan. They aren’t lab grown meats of indistinguishably beef DNA.
Correct, those burgers are made from soy and potato protein. No meat in any form inside.
Every person still buying and consuming animal products paid for this.
