Is the /s Really Needed?
Obviously a philosophy with the goal of creating a universal in-group is fundamentally against war. Is it possible to end all major wars between nations by creating a common cause? Will it require a common federalist-style government to solve disputes between nations? What change in human consciousness will be required to allow the majority of people to accept such an idea? Currently any mention of a "new world order" elicits a contrarian and conspiratorial backlash. But without one, how will we ever solve the problem of war? Just asking questions. Peace-baiting questions.
