“Why hasn’t this paid globohomo shill been zotted yet?
This account is abusing FR.”
Easy answer to your silly question: I am not paid, globohomo, a shill or abusive. Therefore, I am not zotted.
I don’t think you really want to identify with individuals that use the term: Globohomo. This term invented by people that represent the Alt-Right movements. The “alt-right” also broadly opposes the conservative establishment.
BTW, Richard Spencer coined the term “alternative right” [alt-right] which is nothing more than a marketing term that sounded acceptable to the conservative mainstream.”
White nationalists are part of the “alt-right,” but they’re also a group to themself. For many people, “white nationalism” is just another term for “white supremacist” or “neo-Nazi.
Here is a thing I notice about your interactions with people on these threads, Reverend Mother; you try to play gatekeeper a lot.
You are always calling out other people for (in this case) using a specific word that you find objectionable. Also I've seen you nit-pick people's sources, references and even concepts.
You are frequently very quick to tell us all what "conservatives" can think and say, which is odd.
Particularly on the contentious issue of US support for Ukraine. The level of debate on this and other Ukraine War related threads shows that it's an issue over which there is little consensus among self-identified "Conservatives".
Isn't this overwhelming desire to censor and gatekeep almost the signature trait of Leftists in the current year? Deciding which ideas, words and sources are "out of bounds" and then banning people for using them?
Personally, I find "GloboHomo" to be a nice, compact and descriptive term. One can use the word without identifying as a Neo Nazi, just like you can use the word "racist" without identifying as a Bolshevik. (Even though some say it was created by Trotsky as a derogatory term for Slavic people who opposed the program of the Bolsheviks and wanted to preserve their traditional culture). You do the typical leftist thing: Word X is tied to Person Y who supports Idea Z which is similar to Idea Q which is "Neo Nazi".

The “alt-right” also broadly opposes the conservative establishment.Well of course there are a lot of people on Free Republic who oppose "the conservative establishment", too. One might even go so far as to say that Donald Trump and MAGA oppose the "conservative establishment". That terms makes me think of people like Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, the Bush family, Chris Christie, the neoCon clique, Paul Ryan, Fox News taking heads, etc.
Yes, I oppose them.
"People who represent the Alt-Right" is also a pretty amorphous category. You name-check Richard Spencer, but he didn't invent the term "GloboHomo". Credit for that is usually given to fellow named Roissy who ran a blog called Cheteau Heartiste, beginning in 2007. (Many years before Richard Spencer coined the term Alt Right). Initially Cheteau Heartiste was focused around a subcluture of men who considered themselves "pick up artists" (PUA), that is men who were good at or interested in improving their success in dating attractive women. (Not my cup of tea, but for a lot of guys in their 20s and 30s it was an interesting topic).
Despite it being a somewhat weird topic, in investigating it he did a tremendous amount of original thinking, and over time his critique of "modern dating" (which is what the PUA advice was designed to clarify and simplify for men) expanded to include a lot of the other facets of our modern world.
One of things he noticed and wrote about was the relentless push by "the powers that be" to build a homogonous global culture. Everyone uses iPhones. Everyone watches Hollywood blockbusters. Status showing women all over the world desire Louis Vuitton handbags.
He also came up with a good term for "the powers that be", which is the interlocking hierarchies of the political class, academia, big media, big legal, and NGOs. He termed this conglomoration "the Cathedral". It's still a great short hand, but it didn't catch on as much as GloboHomo.
In 2019 Cheteau Hertiste was deplatformed by WordPress, but some of his writings are still available. The most interesting part of his story, to me, is that he eventually renounced the entire "pick up artist" lifestyle (for the reasons that were obvious to many that it was shallow and ultimately non fulfilling) and has embraced Christianity. So, a lot of his writing was obviously part of a search.
You seem very comfortable with this little trick the left uses all the time, a progression:
The thing is though, complaining about Global Homoginization is the furthest thing from Nazism. It was the Nazi's who wanted to put the whole world under a single, superior Aryan Reich. People complaining about GloboHomo would like Thai's to be able to hold on to their Thai-ness, Texans to be able to hold on to their Texas-ness, and even the French to be able to hold on to their French-ness. So, it's acutually a critique of totalitarianism, not an argument in support of it.

- pro-white == White Nationalist

- White Supremacist == NAZI!
You sound like a typical leftist when you start trying to police the use of individual words, and then you run people, taking them down a silly pre-determined "progression" that ends with "that makes you a Nazi!".
Anyway, these are my thoughts on your comments. I think it would be nice if you did less gatekeeping and more debating of the issues, in your commentary.
When you wander off into lecturing us about things you don't really have real subject matter expertise in (like the Alt Right, or GloboHomo's origin) you don't end up doing yourself any favors.
(PS: I'm channeling another Reverend Mother Technique in the previous paragraph: the condescending putdown disguised as helpful advice. You do that almost continuously, it's unintentionally funny, once one notices it.
