You stay in trendy boutique hotels, lugging around nifty suitcases. Yet, you are just a lame wannabe hipster without a proper understanding of the globalizing world. You don’t need to feign any interest about the civil war in Sudan, nor petition against sharia caning in Malaysia. All you have to do, is to indulge in exoticism while you continue to bask in gilded consumptions. Just master a few words derived from foreign languages, and you will be on top of the world again. After all, the English language has been appropriating foreign words for centuries. Who needs cannons and spy gadgets to colonize the world? The cool lingo for the new global village is, of course, still English!
