Twitter is abuzz today with talk of “globohomo psyops” after discovering a tweet from our old friend Roosh V, the rapey pickup-artist-turned-crackpot-moralist, claiming that the first-ever black hole photo that took over the internet yesterday was some sort of “globohomo” hoax designed to make women look good.
No, really.
Roosh deleted this tweet, though he explained his, er, logic here in another tweet that’s still up.
But a screenshot of the “globohomo psyop” tweet has made it’s way around the internet, and quite a few have become instantly enamored of the phrase.
This is hardly the first time Roosh has inveighed against the alleged evils of globohomoism.
Sometimes he mixes and matches his conspiracy theories. Here he claims the Christchurch mosque shootings were an Israeli false flag designed to benefit the Jews and the globohomos at once.
In fact, Roosh has been going on about globohomoism for years now; I’ve even written about his globohomo fiaxtion a couple of times.
But the idea that evil globohomo forces rule the world is older than that. I’m not sure who originated this unique portmanteau word — a mashup of anti-Semitism and homophobia that supposedly stands for “global homogenization” — but I first ran across it on Chateau Heartiste, a blog written by an exceedingly racist pickup artist who’s been a friend of Roosh’s for something like a decade now — and who’s utterly obsessed with all things globohomo.
Now the term has been picked up not only by Roosh but by a wide assortment of alt-rightists and other shitposters.
So without further ado, here are are a bunch of other things that weirdo right-wing shitposters blame on the globohomos.
Killer fungus:
Wars to spread sodomy:
Fat women:
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965:
High interest rates:
Poor character design in the videogame Borderlands 3:
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization:
The thwarting of this woman’s dream of living amongst goats:
Masturbation:
Gay marriage, trans bathrooms and boycotting the NRA?
Socialism, yet also libertarianism:
Vegetables as food:
Soy lattes, and somehow also PayPal?
I guess this guy thinks that “lattes” rhymes with “states?”
Pot-smoking hippies:
“Homo harassment” and other gay stuff:
Garfield (the cat, not the president):
I have no idea what is even going on here:
I hope this all clears things up for you.

I feel like I can almost understand that last tweet, but I still don’t get why the giant cube ship is landing on America.
Off-topic, but one of my local news stations just reported that an incel in Salt Lake City has confessed to plotting a mass shooting:
WHDH: Man angry about virginity pleads guilty to threatening women
@Chris Oakley: Having read that article, right now I am oscillating between weary horror, relief that an atrocity was averted, and sardonic amusement at the fact that the guy’s name is Chad, of all things.
@ Cat Mara:
That right there is going to make some incel heads explode. How can they throw all the praises at a Chad? I guess it helps them that he failed.
The golden cube up there reminds me of the alien landing on Tokyo in the anime Kado: The Right Answer. The yellow paper version over the US reminds me of the cheese in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Neither really carries the sense of doom the author was going for I think.
So the first trailer for Star Wars ep IX was released today. I guess we’ll be seeing a lot of white man tears.
@Tovius: It’s supposed to be the New Jerusalem as described in Ezekiel and Revelation. The placement on the globe must be for scale. I have no idea WTF the tweet is supposed to be trying to say; it’s just word salad as far as I can tell.
@Cat Mara:
The guy’s name is actually Christopher W. Cleary. He’s from near where I live, so I’ve been hearing about this asshole a lot. But the prosecutor’s name is Chad, which I think is just as amusing, but in a different way.
“Globohomo psyop tweet” reminds me of “Hobo Humpin’ Slobo Babe” by Whale.
@Moon_custafer:
Aha! I KNEW there was a connection between NATO and the grape jelly dripping down the cabinets.
Re: pot smoking hippies, nobody tell SoCalMike that Marlboro was originally a women’s brand marketed to flappers, that more women smoke Marlboros than any other brand, and that real cowboys don’t even smoke cigarettes (they chew tobacco).
The pot smoker looks like he’d be much more fun to hang out with.
@Tovius:
The world’s largest military is located there, so obviously the Borg want to eliminate the greatest threat of potential resistance first.
I have watched the video of the song by whale a few times now, and I still cannot figure out what the hell most of the lyrics actually say…I think there’s something about being left for dead and eating candy? I could be completely wrong though.
Merely seeing an image of Roosh gives me the creeps. Trying to read the words he’s posted gives me a headache, none of it makes any sense! Globotechnosocial-missioncontrol please give the world away to filter out this kind of arglebargle!
I think Stiernburg is trying to claim his favourite (appropriate conspiracy theory ‘villain’ here) is trying to achieve some kind of apocalyptic vision of the New Jerusalem by encouraging the people of Somalia to relocate to the USA. I have no idea why, but since when have such ideas made sense to anyone except a conspiracy theorist ?
We’re pinheads now
We are not whole
We’re pinheads all
Globo Homo
Are we not men?
@Simon: WE ARE DEVO!
(That song was going through my head too)
OT: Great Philosophy Tube video on Jordan Peterson has just gone up, a worthy companion to ContraPoints’ one IMO:
Sure. That’s it. I can picture it all now:
That’s how it went.
In case anyone’s wondering where Stiernburg got the the last picture in his tweet, it’s Mega-City One from the movie ‘Dredd’.
Whale and Stereolab in one thread!? I’m having such a nice college flashback.
@ Cat Mara, I don’t know if you watched the credits at all, but Contrapoints did Thorn’s makeup for that episode!
@Karalora, someone in the comments for Ollie’s video referred to it as belonging to the “Contrapoints Extended Universe”, which I think is a great concept.
Hah! Your god is already dead, Roosh! We, the transgenders, killed him with our dreaded BATHROOM IDEOLOGY.
@Moggie
Thank you for that Peterson comic from the nib. It brings me great joy.
@lumipuna
A+ pun, well done, have my gay blood.
@Cat Mara
I’m debating saving this video as a treat for later, but it looks so tempting..
>>>>Possible example of “Satanic” inversion as @realDharmakirti describes it: globohomo hears the prophetic notion of the “New Jerusalem” as a massive cube, decides to immanentize the eschaton, believes heaven can only be attained by a continent-sized Babel-favela tiled with Somalis.
No, I don’t get it either. But it sounds rather threatening towards Somalis.
Well jeez, Louise, you could have done all that if you were really of a mind to. Nobody’s stopping you except the silly menzers you’ve aligned yourself with. And that’s who’s sending you the dickpix too, because men who actually respect women know better. Have you ever considered deleting your accounts?
Also: That pic of Roosh up top reminds me of the cover art from this record…
Just when I think Doouche V had finally faded into the obscurity where he belongs, he comes back in a new flavour of creepy grossness.
Urgh, there is nothing more pathethic than women blaming their problems on feminism. Objectification and creepy sexual propositions still happened before the women’s rights movement, the only difference was that most women couldn’t openly complain about that back then. And complaining about having a wage? Having income of her own is the most important freedom a woman can have, for without it all other freedoms are practically nullified. Like for example, it doesn’t matter if a woman has the right to divorce a man by law if she can’t provide for herself without his income and when women lack economic independance from their husbands, way too many of said husbands will leverage that dependance to get away with cheating and abuse, confident their women won’t leave them if leaving them makes them broke and homeless.
A woman thinking going back to a way of life before feminism will in any way improve her life is no less deluded than a black person thinking that reinstating Jim Crow laws will improve their life.
@msexceptiontotherule:
Maybe? I don’t know. It’s really weird. The video is even weirder.
Speaking of Candace Owens, how great was it when Lieu played the video of her praising Hitler?
