[QUOTE="TagliatelliMonster, post: 71492190, member: 391173"] Well, I surely agree that that is a logical development for the future of mankind. With international trade comes international mixture of cultures - even if only through products and media. I don't expect it to happen for several centuries though. But I figure it's the only possible future, if mankind is going to have a future. But I agree it has to be a natural development. I am completely opposed to "enforcing" such extreme centralization. If that were done today, it would be disastrous and turn into all out war. Most humans are still far to "tribal minded" for such a big step. It could work perfectly in some sort of secular democratic federal world. A "united states of the world", if you will. But idd, the world is not ready for that. Far to much tribalism, far to much radical beliefs systems, far to much ring wing nationalists masquarading as mere patriots, far to much authoritarian regimes still out there. I am relatively optimistic that all these backwards and counter productive belief systems, ideologies and tribal mentalities will slowly, but surely, fade away over time. Today, the biggest obstacle for that development is, imo, islamist terrorism. And it's literally their strategy as well. They rejoice when a right wing neonazi nut has success in western elections. Because they know it further fuels the "us versus them" feelings, it gives them extra propaganda fuel and at the same time, the west weakens itself due to putting nationalistic, borderline-racist, protectionists in power. These terrorists are nuts, but they aren't that stupid. None of them think they are going to conquer western countries by detonating the occasional bomb wich at best kills a few dozen people. Instead, they seek to destabilize the west, to weaken it, by causing inner strife and stirring such protectionist, right wing, racist ideologies. People like Le Pen's popularity is literally feuled by islamism. It sounds like incredibly naive hippy talk, but believe you me, NOTHING would anger islamists more then to respond to a terror attack with nothing but love. :-) [/QUOTE]
