Sorry bud, I think that's just your tinnitus, not a dog whistle.

They were no need to play the antisemite card. Nothing in the original comment suggests it.

Few people use “globalist” in the 1940s sense these days, but it is widespread among far-right conspiracy theorists, many of whom use it to refer to Jews while leaving room to claim they weren’t - similar to how often Soros is mentioned in contexts he has no other connection to. That doesn’t mean that anyone who uses it is definitely engaged in anti-semitism but it forces the reader to have to question whether it’s being used for multiple reasons.

The point of dog whistles is that most people can't hear them.

"Globalists" is a dog whistle. But sometimes people do also literally mean "people in favor of globalism".

In all current discourse, unironic use of the term "globalist" means jew. That's not a supposition or an overreaction. The terms are used interchangeably by the only group of people who actually says "globalist" with any regularity.
