Elite just means "the small minority of people with big power/wealth".

And "globalist elite" just means people in power in governments, multinationals, etc, that are in favour of an extension of their power and reach etc through global treaties, etc -- to the detriment of regional governments.

That's par for the course for having power, and how the world has been running since forever.

Except if you also think that 10 countries having 2/3rd of the world as slaves in their colonies up to merely 5-6 decades ago was also a "conspiracy theory" or "paranoid rhetoric".

In which case I salute the historical ignorance and naivete.
