Sweden has 9 million people in the entire country...heck, the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex has nearly that many....
And the Swedes work!!!
Meaning they don't have tens of millions of people on ssdi, wick, food stamps and paying zero taxes...
And Norway, FYI, is in dissaray because(among other things) they lack sufficient land to farm enough to feed their population so that's a terrible example...without the EU, Norway would fall into a depression of incalculable consequence...
I could poke more holes in your thread but wow, it's so astoundingly naive I can't begin to address the issues...

wouldn't that mean that any civilization out there wouldn't want to deal with a buttload of individual planets?
Comparing planets to countries is incorrect based on the distances but there's also the possibility of galactic empires.
One government means one way of thinking, one voice...whom is to say that it will be the correct way of thinking or the correct voice. Many choices, many ways of thinking, many voices is a better way
So you mean one gov, as in us gov for 50 States, is one way for many voices, etc ?

Thanks for pointing out the problems.. i guess that fixes everything.

FIY that's again just pointing out the obvious... but.. see below.without the EU, Norway would fall into a depression of incalculable consequence...
At least here you see the solution... problems get fixed when there's unity.

The problem is the people in charge. The elite are disgusting parasites and they have proven it thousands of times.

An idyllic vision, admittedly.
Several problems with it though. (I guess that makes me 'evil'? Ignorant?)
The omitted factor/s:
We are not all 'equal'. Our greatest advances occurred in the most diverse and free environments.
We are all equal... the cause of all the world's problems is the thinking that tries to give one's self such grandeur.
Your 'vision' requires enforcement. Enforcement of standardized wages, living standards, arbitrary levels of what one 'needs' to survive.
You mean like any other gov or local council does as we speak?
Simply put, YOU aren't telling ME how much I need or don't need, where and how I choose to live, how many children I may have or not have.
But that's exactly what any gov does, yours as i type this.... apart from the number of kids and food stuff... but such things are self regulating via the markets... so nobody is gonna tell you how many kids to have. Where did you get this notion about the NWO? And you say " where to move " well guess what based on say us citizenship, you are restricted on moving, based on nwo the whole planet is open.
Another basic. We have never had a government that was or, at least, stayed sane/objective. Never. On that issue, alone, I suggest you wake up to the reality of it.
I suggest you wake up and see that other countries, like Nordic ones, have quite happy populations with the violence of the other Western countries.
I, in my belief in the sovereign individual, grant you the same rights as I grant myself. I enforce nothing on your beliefs. Nor will I accept enforcement from you.
So now you're one of those man of the land types with no gov? Ok...
The gains and losses of these innate 'rights' are generally incremental, in nature. Your collective, per force, negates that sovereignty.
Wut?
Give me liberty or give me death.....somehow I doubt your willingness to back up your vision similarly.
Wut wut?

Yes, but wouldn't it be easier to group together all the parasites... Makes them so much easier to manage and or avoid.

There are different NWO scenarios. For example:
One is what you talk about which would be a Republic, led by people for the people of the Earth. Single currency, no borders but keep all cultures, religions and promote equality, prosperity, peace...
I also think this is what is gonna happen. Unfortunately most anti-NWO types don't bother to see the distinction... which hurts everyone in the long run because it slows down our evolution into a peaceful global society.
The other one is an Empire, conspired by those who want to divide and conquer until there is nothing more to conquer and then squeeze the people to the bones and rule the Earth. Later possibly replace them with robots and hybrids so it`s easier to manipulate and control the masses.
I`d imagine there are secret societies pursuing different agendas but ultimate goal is to unite Earth and its people. I just hope it`s not by force and control.
NWO is good, everyone against it is bad...
But I've decided enough is enough and stuff needs to be said before it's too late. Before it all spires out of control thanks to a bunch of folks which I believe have shady, dodgy, ulterior motives.

Except its not new, just another bid on the part of a few wealthy people to control the whole world.
But its sounds good, don't it... "New" world order.
I give "new" no importance... replace with "one" wherever you feel like it.
Damn control freaks, they want everything run to their liking, impose their order on everyone.
Assholes.
You mean like your current gov, your current mayor/town Hall/council does ? Ok.. let's all devolve and live in straw huts.

Yah, whats wrong with everyone, don't you want to jump on our band wagon? The dodgy, ulterior motives are greed and control by authoritarian rule. They cage it in gentle euphemisms to throw everyone off.
No... the greed and ulterior motive is the bunch of people trying to keep nations from merging and creating a peaceful planet.
