Human nature hasn’t changed much and neither has the nature of tyrants.
They have, long ago, which enabled the entire submersion of European governments into NATO and the EU. Look who the big enemies are now: Hungary, now Italy, and Russia.
It's all coming unglued. It's called strategic over-reach. One hopes the end is ropes and lamp-posts and not nukes.
To globalists, the “Peace of Westpfahlia” is the problem, not the solution
Yet the same people support nationalism and sovereignty for “indigenous pipples.”
“It’s made to order because the left/progressives, too, want to replace the nation/state, particularly the United States. They differ from the hard-nosed commercial interests only in the assumption that a world government would be wonderfully utopian.”
The left likes centralization of any type because it’s easier for them to take control of one entity than many.
Their goal is not “utopia” but simply power and control. Then Utopia will be whatever they decree it to be.
