I've never understood the opposition to a global government. It always seems to come from conspiracy theorists that lack critical thinking skills. What are we suppose to do? Never become united? Remain separate entities constantly vying and warring for territory and power? Does that really sound like the intelligent thing to do?

I agree in some respects but conspiracy theorists will just find a conspiracy or reason to moan in anything.

Adolf Hitler had a similar vision

But Hitler was a tyrant. I can't see what would be wrong if the world was governed by a decent philanthropist human being but there's just too many problems and differing people and nations with differing ideologies that cannot be fixed in such a way.

A global government would become tyrannical too, power corrupts and total power corrupts totally, In nature all ecosystems are dynamic and decentralised it is the most effective way of maintaining balance. Localised responsibility and initiative is the most effective way of addressing problems. the challenges facing people in various parts of the world are different and require local solutions and localised participation. To think that some global bureaucracy could even keep pace let alone deal with issues is naive and would lead us all into an Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, an Orwellian nightmare.
