"it seems OP would rather have no government at all" : Anarchy leading to despotism as history has shown. Oh god! "it seems like entering WW2 was a bad move by Roosevelt for America in OPs mind": And imagine the world without Europe now. So minus it. Then imagine an evil europe with the same GDP as the US, approximately the same population led by pure hate and a population to scared to step out of line. So plus that to the world. Now imagine if the Nazi's had been given time to create that Europe. They would have been rested, well prepared and have millions of new inlistees. A rested Nazi Europe (if that had happened) and The US, at some point would have went at it, and the world would have been completely destroyed.
The world will never be at peace. People can't be happy and there will always be a divide after a calm period. Everything is fine right now no matter what the media would have us believe. Probably the best point in human history. |
Exactly. There will always be some hierarchy of haves and have nots. I get that OP might want to live in a live-and-let-live world but that's just ignoring human nature. Some governance will occur eventually, by force or by free will.
You make a great point with Europe and you need only look at China to imagine what things could have been like. China, under the rule of a practical dictarship and strong leadership have transformed their country, growing leaps and bounds. What would Europe have been like if there was 60 years of single leadership and unity in the same way.
Agreed, we are at the best point in human history.
