Considering the present state of the world, what would be so terrible about a New World Order?
Dude! After you’ve blown the dog whistle there’s no need to make it clear exactly what that dog whistle means.
It’s not that it would be “a” New World Order, it’s that it would be “The” New World Order. They’ve built up The NWO as such a boogey man over the last 20+ years that it’s just a boilerplate stand in for everything they hate.
It goes back much further than that. Maybe under a different name, but it’s the same old conspiracy. Here’s the “logic”, for lack of a better term.
The New World Order is, as implied by the name, international. If there’s this Order at the international level, who does that weaken? That’s right - nations.
Who might want to weaken nations? Why, people without a nation, of course. And who doesn’t have a nation? Why, the Jews*!
*Again, this is an old conspiracy theory. But why change your theory when facts change? Easier to twist facts to make them fit your theory - so in many of these theories Israel is often a key part of the plan for how this New World Order is going to take over.
The New part is also doing some work. That’s often taken to mean “Socialist”. And I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that Jews are secretly agents of Socialism (unless you are a socialist, in which case you may well believe that Jews are agents of the capitalist pigs! But that’s a different story).
So let’s recap. The New World Order is what the evil Socialist Jews want to set up after they’ve dismantled your nation and mixed your race with brown immigrants. That’s why it’s bad.
Any questions?
Eta: if you want to use a dogwhistle instead of be openly antisemitic you can use the term “Globalists”, which means “Jews” (when used as a sneer). To an ultra-nationalist, nothing is scarier than “International Jewry”.
But then how will the really stupid dogs know you’re talking to them?
Illuminati, Rosicrucians, Alchemy, oh my!
Heheh, and the best part is that it was George HW Bush that coined the phrase.
No, it definitely was not.
Ehhh, popularized? I surely never heard it before then.
Mark Robinson is the worst. It’s pretty scary to think he could be our next governor. Doubly so given that the Republican candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Michelle Morrow, is a homeschooler nutcase and January 6 attendee who has literally no experience at all in NC public schools, and who has basically campaigned on calling us “socialist indoctrination centers” over and over, with minor variations (e.g., we teach CRT, and transgender theory, and how to hate our country, etc.)
If either of them wins, it’ll probably be because both of them win. If both of them win, I’m not sure I can stay.

General usage (pre-Cold War)
During the 20th century, political figures such as Woodrow Wilson and Winston Churchill used the term “new world order” to refer to a new period of history characterized by a dramatic change in world political thought and in the global balance of power after World War I and World War II.
So yeah, popularized.
I have a theory that following the fall of the Soviet Union, all that freefloating right-wing paranoia previously applied to the Communist Evil Empire latched onto the pre-existing but fringe belief in the NWO, just as it later did with the “Deep State” and QAnon.
I’m guessing Robinson is offended that Chopped frequently has openly gay contestants, not to mention an openly gay host.
In that article, you can see the distinction between “A” NWO and “The” NWO I mentioned. Political types refer to “A New World Order” at times when that’s literally what’s happening. Post-WWI, WWII, Cold War, the previous “order of the world” was largely replaced. Previous allies became enemies, enemies became friends, new international organizations were created, stuff like that.
But “The” NWO is pure CTism. It’s not just that the world is changing, it’s that the world is being changed. And it’s being changed by The Usual Suspects (Jews, Commies, aliens, demons, etc.), and they have a plan for what those changes will be. It’s not just random re-shufflings of alliances based on new national self-interests. No, it’s all designed to promote the international bankers, commies, atheists, etc, and put them in power over Patriotic Americans.
Right. It represents the “threat” posed by “globalists” or “internationalist forces” to the Nationalist ideal.
Technically correct (the best kind!) but I have seen CTers work that, otherwise innocuous, history into the CT.
Every thing that happened post/during WWI, WWII, Cold War, etc. is part of ‘’‘their’‘’ plan. (Really, everything since we started walking upright is part of ‘’‘their’‘’ plan.)
Where the they in their always is, in the end, the Jews.
Pretty good theory on the face of it. You’d have a hell of a time proving it, though.
That probably doesn’t help. But given the other shows he complains about, it’s about seeking fame and fortune through hedonistic exhibitionism.
Pure anecdata, but I remember a TV documentary/travelogue on the US where the presenter (Miriam Margolyes) was talking to a hyper-emotional evangelical woman with a veritable arsenal of guns, and when she was asked why, she said that the minute she heard GHWB talking about the/a NWO after the fall of the Wall, she marched straight down to the gun shop.
