Can someone explain where the phrase "New World Order" originated?
I mean, in the sense in which it is currently being used, that is.

It can be one of two things:
1) As YnotIsay said: the geopolitical order post-1989. George Bush talked about it as a new world order of liberal democracy, free markets and (this was implied) American domination. It hasn't really lasted because the neoliberal model of capitalism has (and will continue to) produce crises. Also, the rise of China means that America is not as dominant as it was. Francis Fukuyama said that the Berlin Wall coming down marked the End of History and many believed him but the man himself has walked this back.
2) A rightwing conspiracy theory that shadowy elites are puppeteers controlling people in secret. This is related to 'Multural Marxist' conspiracies and QNN. In places, it has anti-semetic undertones.
On SW, people who talk about it will likely mean the latter! 馃ぃ
