Yeah, the vast majority of common people don't want a one world government, but many in the elite do want it (sometimes unconsciously) and we're steadily heading in that direction.
That doesn't make any sense. We aren't steadily heading in that direction.
The majority of Swedes didn't and still don't want mass immigration either, and didn't want to end up as a minority in their own country, and yet we ended up in minority. Because there are strong powers at work.
Swedes are still the majority, so that doesn't make any sense. The reason why people are accepting immigrants is because otherwise they will be killed in their country.
About destabilizing institutions and values, I understand my post gave room for some misunderstanding.
But think of social institutions, like the nuclear family, marriage, the celebration of religious festivals, gender roles, the church, religious communities... all these can be defined as institutions sociologically speaking. So I didn't necessarily refer to our physical authorities, like the parliament, social office, police force, universities etc by the word "institutions".
I'm a Christian and most of this is nonsense. Liberals don't want to destabilize any of this. Liberals want to preserve the separation of church and state in the US, that the US was founded upon. That way you aren't forced to follow your neighbor's version of Christianity. This freedom of religion is also for other religions, or even the irreligious. Can't force someone to be a Christian, and it is unChristianly to do so.
When people talk about divorce ending marriages, only bad marriages are ending. Good ones are still prosperous, and I know conservatives that have divorced. It's not taken all that seriously.
And about values. There has been a huge change of values from the 50's until now. (on human rights, racial issues, crime, freedom of speech, economic distribution and wellfare, family values, parental roles, the role of the state, the responsibility of the individual versus society, citizenship, immigration, traditions and history, homosexuality etc etc...
We've made incredible strides for equality. Allowing women to work, allowing black people to vote. We still have a lot of work to do though. And no, the role of the state has always been a question mark. Things like universal healthcare have been a part of many countries for several decades. Even into the 1940's. Some have had it longer than that. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are very old programs.
Most of this part is nonsense. Liberals want people to be able to take care of themselves, but not everyone is in a position to be able to. Take housing for example. If you don't have a house, it's very hard to be able to get a job. This is why giving houses to homeless people has been very successful. Not only are they more likely to get jobs, it's actually cheaper to give them a house, then try to take care of them outside their house.
Huge topic. Very huge topic. Very very huge.
