"...Many hollywood disaster films like 'Deep Impact' or ' Inddependence Day' have as their basis the hope that humanity could somehow unite against something, always of course led by the USA. This messianic fervor is what is globalism today. This is led by an elite which uses this ideology as an excuse for any behaviour, regime change, war on terror, etc...." Ed Boyle
Ed is onto something here. It goes back to the 19th Century, and then of course on back to the later 18th, back when the plot of Poldark began, after Britain lost the American Rebellion.
Rhodes himself was something of a conservative, a conservative imperialist in the late 19th Century. He believed in the British Empire as the only civilization worthy of the name.
Most other Europeans, while hardly Anglophiles generally, considered Europeans, as against non Europeans, in a similar way, civilized versus uncivilized.
Americans of course had the theory that all men in all civilizations were created equal with equal rights, but this theory was not actually put into practice that much over here, and there were other countervailing theories about racial differences, levels of enlightenment, and other aspects of human societies, which cut against this view as well.

The Rhodes successor organizations, Milner Group, post Milner Group entities, were transformed, over the decades, into an elite liberal coterie of blind globalizationists.
The liberal democracies of Western Europe had dated only to after 1760.
Before that, if you were liberal, you were either an enlightened despot, a liberal aristocrat, or a bourgeoise climber, either government bureaucrat, or business man, into aristocratic circles.
