You hear these words all the time! In magazines. Trading cards. Cocktails. Modeling agencies. That weirdly sexual Vegas hotel with the tacky bar inside a chandelier. But yes, they have antisemitic uses/origins too. Because of course they do.

As we’ve mentioned several times, the main theme of antisemitic conspiracy theory is that Jews are controlling the world from behind the scenes. 

They’re wealthy and powerful – hence, ‘elite’ – but they’re also loyal to a secret Jewish cabal planning global domination. In short, whenever something bad happens, some people blame Jews.

Cosmopolitan has even more of a link to the world control theory. The roots of “cosmo” (world) and “politan” (citizen) literally mean “citizen of the world,” like the globalist slur that came after it. In Stalin’s Soviet Union, Jews were labeled “rootless cosmopolitans” (citing their lack of a country pre-Israel) and purged from influential positions (they were also jailed, tortured, and murdered). Basically, ‘cosmopolitan’ was a way to say that Jews lacked patriotism.

As such, ‘cosmopolitan elite’ is another way of saying ‘Jewish person’ (and has been for over a century). The terms have changed – internationalist, cosmopolitan, globalist, global elite, one world government, the world masters, et al – but the ideas behind them are the same. Today, literal U.S. senators aren’t shy about using it.

So the next time you're drinking that sweet vodka cocktail remember YOU are an antisemite. (Just kidding, that stuff tastes really good.)
