Is the world inevitably progressing towards a one world government?

Anything having to do with colonization of other planets not in our solar system would break any united government.

There is just no point in centralization when your colony is even a light year ahead. 2 whole years to get a response whenever you ask about something.

If humanity will master the ability to reach near c velocities we could technically colonize the farthest reaches of the galaxy in the lifetime of a single colonist, but those missions would need to rely only on themselves because that single colonist will live through god knows how many generations on earth.

Technology and globalism has helped us to create a possibility of a world government. However, we have no reason to do so. Our world has worked as fragmented nations united under trade and diplomacy and we have continued to prosper under the greatest peace our world has ever seen. Only extraordinary measures like the outbreak of a third world war, an incurable plague or scarce resources would break this status quo.

Of course, all of this is without taking into account a possible human expansion into the Solar System. Then, things can change. Maybe the UN could gain importance as everything outside of Earth is deemed the common heritage of all mankind. And who else represents all of mankind?

Or maybe not, and this could be repealed. Corporations and nations scramble for their piece of the Solar pie, and before you know it, conflict rears its ugly head in. Maybe these new territories secede and form their own nations, a new UN is created to encompass the entire Solar System, and the cycle continues.

Who knows really. A lot of shit can happen.

>One huge globalist government melting pot from which you can't just run away from
I'd rather this planet falls into mindless anarchism then make it one big Global Merkel State which cuts your dick off because of wrong think which government finds wrong, unless you personally support this global governments political stance...

Fuck no

>Wanting entire earth to become the EU.
God no...

I was thinking more like it would become the USA, but with each nation as a "state". Or fuck it, just centralize the whole damn thing under one benevolent AI dictator.

Reagan mentioned an outside threat that unifies. That's generally the trend and why we live in bipolar/dualism/bipartisan world. So sects that unify. There's a few ATM. And they all have equivocal GDP. OIC, EU, five eyes, BRICS. I dunno how you unify and integrate them into cohesive frameworks, short of going through war.

As for tech, the deep government or whatever is far more advanced then you probably know in terms of influencing and monitoring things. At all places. At all times.

There is a lot of old stockpiles that will need to be used before there is adequate reason to build, and from such boom, anew (aks, aircraft carriers, sentiment etc).

*Deterritorialisation

Neither capitalism nor socialism can stop the progress of globalism.

Oh, well that makes more sense.

considering the general inability of NGOs (UN, NATO etc) and large countries (US, Russia, China etc) to enforce or do anything properly I hope not
imagine what a bureacratic, corrupt hell hole a one world government would be, and how incapable of enforcing laws or administerting punishment it would be without going full Judge Dredd

that's what rampant genetic engineering is for

>Is the world inevitably progressing towards a one world government?
you have struck bedrock. 1WG is the ending configuration. all politics is posturing to install your ruling clique.
examine political developments within this framework, particularly the reaction to hillary's defeat.
it all makes sense now, doesn't it?

globalism is boomers committing suicide. Kill them, globalism dies.

all that's needed is a common currency, unified military, single common market (stock and commodity) and UN control of petroleum at the wellhead. there will be a universal carbon tax payable to UN or rolled into energy prices.

>we produce faster than we can think

and today we generate and process information faster than we can think, so its either our thinking has become redundant or the rate of process has gone beyond anything humanely usable, or maybe both

its one reason why countries like china that have forged a unified national identity, are going to be so powerful.

What if instead of unification, it goes the old-fashioned way and one society just straight up conquers everyone else?

I mean let's say something happens that suddenly makes nuclear weapons just not work, they might as well not exist. If the US decided to just start jacking every piece of territory it wanted and put down any resistance with Mongol-tier prejudice, could anyone really stop them?

>without going full Judge Dredd
>without
Well where's the fun in that?

This is the natural order of things, set back by man-made disasters, sooner or later it will re-emerge

>If the US decided to just start jacking every piece of territory it wanted and put down any resistance with Mongol-tier prejudice, could anyone really stop them?

Nukes

Indeed

>I mean let's say something happens that suddenly makes nuclear weapons just not work

>We'll use nukes!

I'm pointing out that if one country tried to take over, the other countries with nukes would be able to stop them

The further away a government is to its subjects, the more alienated and apathetic they will feel, and there needs to be some degree of willing participation for it to be sustainable. Nothing is ever too big to fail. That's why those big huge super-government blocs in mecha anime are unlikely to happen.

Also, most of Russia's land isn't even inhabited. It's like Canada where the vast majority cluster around the southern border.

The US is more spread out, but the US is flexible enough because of the state governments. Though, the federal government is already stretched enough as it is with the current size.

If the government is the world then what's the distance?

I'm ready

Distance in this case is metaphorical. If people are disconnected from the top-brass by class, social standind, culture and national identity they are sure to resent being told what to do by them, seeing as the ruling class will have no experience of what being like the average layman is like.

Yes, it's inevitable. No, it won't last long. Read Revelation.

I don't know about one world government but I like the unionizing idea of globalization. We should all live as one, or at least as individual parts of a whole. Nationalism is the worst plague from the past we still deal with. Fuck this country. That refers to all of them.

The world should be governed by council, backed electronically by the rest of civilization. It's 2017. You can have all people on earth weigh in on all major decisions through phone voting and public conferences in which the public should be able to comment live to their representatives in a form that would be visible to all members of the council at all times during discussions. Basically give everyone an active visible voice, and rule through local consensus

This is more complex than just some technological implementation.
We need a theoretical backbone for this to be possible.
Maybe we already have it but i dont know of any such.
For example how do you divide what descisions are to be made at what circle of people? Obviously not all the world should decide if your street needs to have maintenance done to it right? So the question begins How do you divide these circles of involvement.

with the amount of dormant ODD schizophrenia etc in the american populice i wonder if you could ever truely have a majority genuinely loved president that breaks the 2 term rule and becomes a dictator/dynasty

would events would unite a populace behind one leader/soverign?

Bump

>Is the world inevitably progressing towards a one world government?
(Not true, by the way)

Nazi Germany tried this. Did not work because the rest of the world united to fight back.

Also half of the US would oppose war and stop it at some point. Like in Vietnam.

>Is the world inevitably progressing towards a one world government?
The world is inevitably progressing towards collapse and mass die-offs of a scale unprecedented in human history.

Capitalism = globalism

Communism = Globalism
Capitalism = Globalism
Retarded socialist and fascist ideologies =/= Globalism

Proceed gentlemen

Explain

global warming, depleting resources, super viruses and bacteria, AI, rise of nationalism

yeah there really isn't a way to not have a global economy anymore, it's too late but most people can't see that

Global warming will be bad, billions will die, but we'll adjust and keep on advancing. Most of the dead will be in the 3rd world anyways.

Resources are draining, true, but as previously mentioned many people are going to die soon, so that means that there will be more to go around for the rest of us, and additionally space mining may soon become viable, thus leading to vast mineral resources.

Super viruses and bacteria are a problem, no doubt, you've got a good point there.

AI shouldn't be a problem at all though. The most basic of regulations and testing should ensure that no AI goes rogue and it is only used for mankind's benefit.

I don't think nationalism is rising as much as people think it is, I mean sure you've got guys like Trump and things like Brexit, but those are blips on the radar compared to the global gradual progress of globalism.

Conclude your own vital processes

>Nazi Germany tried this. Did not work because the rest of the world united to fight back.
Nazi Germany didn't have a military larger than the next 14 militaries combined, and also is the primary military force provider for most of the countries that would oppose it.

I don't think that the USA alone could do it, but a United Anglosphere probably could.
