“Global citizens” is similar to the phrase “international law”. There is no such thing as “international law’ because where is the global government passing such laws? There are international organizations and international treaties,; but these involve sovereign entities who decide whether to belong to the former or sign on to the latter, without in any way relinquishing their sovereignty.
Progressives want to be global citizens who still allow some countries sovereign authority over themselves except the USA. They are emotionally abusive, narcissistic bullies who think that brow beating or silencing people means they’ve won.
In case you were curious, the term “global citizen” first took off in the mid-1980s according to Google Ngram Viewer.

For that matter, so does “empowerment”.
