In theory I am all about it, in practice, hell fucking no.

Maybe if it's like Switzerland.

Historical trends do not point towards one-world-Government, they point to something else completely. Human history has been one of huge, global-spanning hard-power empires... those were far closer to one-world Governments than anything we have now.

And what about the growing independence movements among people in many, many countries? Brexit, Grexit, growing anti-EU across all of Europe, divisions in Belgium, Spain, the UK, China, Russia.

These modern projects like the EU are nothing compared to what was tried in the past. And what's more, it's failing. Not only is Eurosceptism rising across the continent, but Europe's financial sector is failing, the Eurozone is in real trouble, the entire mediterranean has been forced into poverty as a result of their policies. It's a disaster.

And, to top it off, it shows what people in this thread have been saying about corruption and accountability. The people at the top of the EU have very little transparency, they live lavish lifestyles at the expense of the "citizens", and nobody even knows how many laws and regulations they write, let alone holding anybody accountable to any given rule.

The typical nation-state as we think of today is going, but not because of one-world-Governance. It's going the way of the dodo because of technology.

The Internet has already destroyed any kind of nation-state control over communication (mail, media), trade, currency, intellectual property. Look at how much cities are struggling to fight airbnb and uber... and those guys are somewhat TRYING to comply.

It's game-over for the nation-state, it's just a matter of time. Once the people move onto cryptocurrency as their primary means of exchange, it'll be the end of the central bank, and the end of taxation, and thus the end of these massive institutions

Dude. The war is already on. But war has changed. Nowadays it's an economical war with some little proxy wars here and there. There is no need for a classic all-out war with massive troops anymore as big governments wouldn't gain anything from that. Hell, all over the world the governments have way too much debts to even finance anything that would come close to a war. xD
But they are fighting like hell already with all they have to offer. All that fracking in the US doesn't happen without a reason, it's to weaken forces in the middle east and russia. Russia itself does everything it can to weaken the EU and is working with the chinese to achieve just that.

Cyber wars are also alive and kicking. I don't think we will see another world war as in the past. But I also don't know who will come out on top in the ongoing struggle for world domination.

" as long as I'm the decider"  George W Bush

Imagine a secular world government that can outlaw genital mutilation, honor killings, the government sanctioned incarceration and execution for charges such as being gay, witchcraft and apostasy."above us , only sky"

I think it makes sense when we have space colonies or meet other races. At that point the external threats become more relevant than the internal ones.

For now, i'd like an european union country instead.

The EU as an institution does not work well, just because it hasn't totally collapsed does not mean it is working well. Brexit can almost be considered a non-event in comparison to the crisises in Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy along with the refugee crisis and that's just the tip of the iceberg. That has nothing to do with if you're pro or anti-EU, it has a lot of problems that cannot be dismissed, especially if you want this experiment to succeed.

Supranational units are no different, "empires" rise and fall just like nations, so would a one world government, it's not something you can negate. I'm not going to answer your question because it has nothing to do with my original post but since you bring it up, I have some questions for you. First, how do you propose that a one world government will have any interest in protecting your culture against larger and more dominate ones? Second of all, how does merging with a completely different culture not destory your current way of life?

He hasn't said that though, has he?

Putin has a lot to rant about after we stopped his oil and gas pipelines through the Ukraine after he took over Crimea, our continued support of the rebels to overthrow Bashir in Syria, NATO's troop movements and exercises all along their border.
