I believe its completely satanic and as old as humanity. From the moment satan lied to Eve that they can have power and wisdom outside of God. It continued to be the "humanist" movement. Then when Kain went his own way and made a town, his descendants tried to live by their own capabilities, learning from fallen angels all the wrong stuff.
Thats why God flooded the Earth, yet the same mindset survived among Noah's descendants. God commanded them to spread across the globe, but they ganged up on one place, trying to achieve power to oppose God.
Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.
Good sign that globalization is evil.
I think that the same mindset from that time, where megasociety is created and led by the few who formed it, survived till today.
