    Bertrand Russell, one of the most intelligent human beings to ever live, argued for a world government as a means to end war and global poverty.

    We live every single day abiding by tenants which are fictional: money, country, borders, hierarchies, etc. Since these tenants are purely fictional, that means they can be fundamentally changed.

    You can't progress as a civilized species if you have no cohesion. The chaos you see in the world now is a direct result of this.

    I get what you mean, absolutely, but the U.S still can’t control the most powerful players like China, Russia, India-Pakistan, Iran, etc. It can influence some of them, sure, but if push comes to shove, each of those mfs can put up the middle finger.

    The US would win the wars with them, but it’d lose its arms/legs.

    Maybe it can throw weight with its lil buddies in NATO or wtv, but it doesn’t call the shots everywhere (like a world gov).

    The way some of latin people/mexican risk their lives and even the lives of babies... In the border to just be in U.S territory is mad irresponsable, going in illegally brings more problems for them than for the country.

    lol China is nowhere near having as much exploitative foreign labor relations as the US, not the amount of military bases, nor the amount of governments overthrown
