Future war between global governments?

[Teln3t]

I've just been thinking about this...

Is it really not imminent that the governments of the world and its' people(or the people of that nation) are going to start fighting over border control for their own form of government?


Try to follow with me on this...as I know that it's a long, long ways of.

My order of Philosophy:
People.
People want protection.
People form governments.
Local and civil wars between government-intervention of the people.
Those who lose, travel to more free lands... *cough*western*cough*.
The more free lands grow in population.
Those more free lands, and its' people turn to protection from government.

Repeat this process until all land is populated(as of today)

The main idea:
Governments formed within all territories.
Population grows, compaction amongst the people grows.
Population spread closer to borderlines.
Borders spread nearer to coastlines.
Coastline population needs to move to more free lands.
All the lands are populated.




War amongst the people for proper government?

Is this basically about running out of space? It's true that we're spreading out more and more. The idea that it could cause a global war is interesting and actually pretty worrying when you think about it.:ohmy: Coz while we're also running out of space we're running out of fuel and things so there could be a war over resources.:scared:

1) I think you're ignoring the capabilities of people to just "move to freer lands". Most people can't afford such a thing.

2) I think you're counting of people's nationalism to much. Eventually people are going to stop fighting for their government.

Future wars between major governments are most likely to stem from resource wars.

I agree with Barabbas. Wars aren't ideological anymore, nor have they been for a long time. Economic opportunity is the name of the game. That said, over here in the States our economy depends on armed conflict, considering the amount we spend on weapons. "Crisis capitalism" reigns, where war is necessary for socio-economic persistence. Perpetual war for perpetual peace..

1984 come true!
