The "Christians" who take the Bible literally actually do believe that globalism is evil. But that's what happens when your religious texts were written first by nomads, then by a civilization that regularly got conquered, and finally a cult that was persecuted by the Romans.

No, the "Christians" who oppose trade clearly have never even read the Bible, or even just the New Testament. Jesus spent a lot of time telling people to love the stranger, the traveler, and the alien. To treat a foreigner in your land as kindly as you would your brother. Modern Republicans have completely abandoned the teaching of the actual historical Jesus.

Globalism IS evil. The rightards just care about it as much as the nazis cared about socialism.

Globalism is such a weasel word. Esperanto-speaking cosmopolitans and tax-dodging capitalists are usually not the same. Then again, the far-right demonized even Esperanto back in the past century and might do it again if people took it seriously.

Yea I think of globalism as a synonym for globalization, global markets, sweatshops, this kind of things.
