I like this. And furthermore, it is my opinion that all current nation states should be dismantled.

I wish so too, but clearly this is not in any way practical. The EU is the closest thing we got to "fewer borders"

		We can always dream and then find ways to make it practical :) It's encouraging I didn't get downvoted as much as I expected I would.

if cannot merge into 1, at least we can make it a few. 200+ is a waste of resources on so many levels.. so many countries really don't need to exist and have shitty a government...

It’s a nice goal, but no thank you. In my opinion, more of the world needs to be all but quarantined.

		I expect there are many people who agree with this sentiment, unfortunately they might not agree on precisely which areas ought to be quarantined. And those who happen to live in the areas you want to quarantine might disagree most vigorously.

Fun fact. Just people who live in a shitty country want that, maybe instead of change everyone else, change you own country?

I've lived in several different countries. There are nice people everywhere. The country governments are shitty everywhere.

Funny i live in a country where the people are the government, and with your knowledge of different country's, the future World-Government would not just be shitty but untouchable mighty. I want really small, face to face responsible governments.

I am from so called 1st world, how do you define “shitty country”, are there better ones?

	▲	BSDobelix an hour ago \| parent [-]
		Yes and it's really easy. Are the vast majority happy? = Good one If not = Shitty Example? Norway[1] = good, Sudan[2] = really..really shitty [1] https://www.bi.no/en/research/business-review/articles/2025/... [2] https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2025/sudan-voices/ To be honest, those two are so far apart it's not even comparable.

German here, I want the same. We are one species inhabiting a single habitable world in a giant dead void. Nationalism is an idiotic game of no value that causes destruction of resources we need, senseless killing in wars over nothing, and ultimately merely a distraction from everything that’s really important.

Nothing against a Coordinating body like the UN, and really small states (lets call them community's).

But there is no "we are the world, we are the children", future is probably more like US/EU/EAU (east asia union), now you have 3 big blocks fighting against each other (much higher world-ending chance). More power = more bully....

>everything that’s really important.

Yes your right, and talking...even with a enemy should be considered the base for future world-freedom.

No, I'm absolutely aware that we are - as of now - unable to get past the pettiness of nationality and tribalism. Maybe it's so ingrained in us, we'll never get past that, I don't know.

It's just massively frustrating to see what humanity could accomplish if we weren't occupied bashing our heads in over religion, nationality, or color of skin. The planet - the only planet - is dying, people and animals are suffering, and the news are dominated by a particular clown and his circus. It's really unbearable sometimes.

Resenting the real world because it doesn't live up to your make-believe fantasy world is pathological. I too can imagine perfect utopian worlds where everybody lives in peace and harmony, but they're just fantasies. Eventually you have to come back to the real world and learn to accept the harsh truths of the reality you find yourself inhabiting.

		>Resenting the real world because it doesn't live up to your make-believe fantasy world is pathological. I dont think world-peace (more or less) is impossible, even if it's more like "Brave New World" instead of "1984". Or maybe something like the UN with a strong peace-force and WITHOUT a security council but a real and fair democratic decision process. And maybe the most important point, i have not seen real War-Winners (except the mil.-industrial-blabla) since the 2. World-war....just losers on both sides.

		That's not what I have said. Imagine you have a mentally challenged brother you love dearly, who continues to run head-first against a wall. That's what it feels like. Doesn't mean I'm not aware and accepting of the reality we all live in. Edit: And honestly, I find it a bit pathological to take the sentence you quoted upfront and not feeling similar resentment against those things. Granted, Humans are a belligerent species, but just shrugging these things away is really not an acceptable stance either.

I kinda get it, you want to feel intellectually superior. You're the reasonable one, the adult in the room, etc. but seriously bro, this reality is so fucking harsh. What keeps you going? Why are you still here and going through with it?

Oh man you speak from my heart, it's like we live on a star-ship, but everyone looks just at their own room instead of steering the ship into a better future.

EDIT: However, as we see a shift from the UN (as a future captain?) to NATO (at least in the so called "West"), i see dark times ahead of us.

That can be figured out after the dismantling process :)

My personal utopian take: smaller communities/city-states that would naturally coalesce into more fluid confederations. A lot of these communities could also be distributed and non-local.
