Narcissistic Orange Man is Sore Loser

There's no need to accept an election if you don't like the result. Might makes right! Start a war!

Is the /s Really Needed?

Obviously a philosophy with the goal of creating a universal in-group is fundamentally against war. War is bad.

Is it possible to end all major wars between nations by creating a common cause? Will it require a common federalist-style global 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.
