By this point, I suspect a lot of people who use the term don't actually know anymore. To them it just means "the shadowy bad guys who want to ruin my life specifically".

"...because I'm the main character and these 'globalists' know me by name"

Yep. That's the gist of the plot.

Okay, are we all here? Let's discuss Jeb Blinkersen, 29, of 39 waukee way, Minnesota. Have we done anything to ruin his life lately? Looks like he got a raise recently, shit, we've got to get ahead of this NOW. Johnson, I want you to breed up some samples of that bat-whale-bear virus we've been incubating in RFK, and make sure there's an accident. Stevens, call his boss and tell him to send the factory to China OR ELSE. Yeah, they probably won't like the higher profit margins, but make it clear they have no choice. We'll show Jeb to let his guard down. Good meeting everyone, let's meet again next week about Amanda Hugenkiss, priority omega seven; Zuckerberg says she seems actually happy and she might be trying to leave Facebook.

When the people responsible for ruining their lives aren't hiding in the shadows at all.
