What u will see in the next centuray or so if we survive it is the dissolution of those borders and those tiny mountainous countries into the bigger geographic groups and demographics.

The west does not want them to go to russia or china because russia already has a really big area and china is bad

TBQH it amazes me how europe is so stable still after all this time

but like if u want to think about it the united states would look like that exactly if we didn't kneel to a federal king

Africa is an AIDS infested war zone - literal definition of 3rd world countries

If by "freedom" you mean working in a mine under armed guard from the age of 9 and the threat of your family being killed, then it's a great place

I see what you're saying, but why include the EU? It's a federal state.

e: is it because they have muslims? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Do you ever notice, that the older a country is, the more lethargic and disillusioned its people are?

I have this little theory that all the young and hopefull spirited people move to the new lands to build new things and experience new worlds.

But now we're all full up, so the newest people (Canadians) are even turning into shit (Americans the 2nd newst have shown that we turned to shit already)

I think that the next world power, will be a decentralized opt in digital goverment that exists on the web. To become a netizin you will pay a tax that is used to create ID's and build a digital infistructure that netizins will be able to have exclusive access to, like affordable healthcare, and better technlogy etc.

Eventually the markets in this exclusive online community will grow so big that they take over the current internet markets, making this digital "country"s economy, stronger than the rest... the same way Amazon and Apple became stronger economically than the US goverment.

They will build consoluets around the world, and they will negotiate saftey for members of its citizens when visiting various countries.

By the time it becomes too big to fail, the netizins, some of the smartest people on earth, will have already built nukes, and people like elon haven proven private companies can put them on rockets, giving them a power to defend themselves against goverments of the world deciding that they dont want them there.

Punish a netizin in any country, and feel the wrath of our digital goverment.

We will own the earth one day.

Become a netizin now.

China is like the oldest country on earth, and its people are vicious, brutal and extremely hard working.

yeah i meant dystopia or utopia, drones or not, bigoted or not, they really are taking the world by storm and none of us can stop them or slow them down.

This due to the vicious brutal nature of chinese society, you gotta function like a hive mind to get that far that fast. so you are on point calling their citizens drones.

Ridiculous.

You don't "gotta" do anything to get far and fast. How do you even measure success? How much resources can be pillaged in a given length of time? How many ethinic minorities can be starved to death or just buried alive in a given length of time?

God knows the USA has demonstrated extreme efficiency even considering the limitations of the times when we decimated the native american population here. Do you want the USA to further demonstrate efficiency / success / prowess in this regard in order to bolster our esteem or something?

Taking the world by storm? Again, by what measure? By helping create actual environmental disasters "storms" By directly exploiting more people than the USA does because we are sure to exploit more indirectly?

Absolutely ridiculous.

How about we think about what makes a civilization thrive, and become actually prosperous. How about we define what prosperity should look like and then decide how to move towards that prosperity?

China and russia are playing catch up in a game where there can be no winners.

If they took their authoritarian power, and chose to forge a country where people can thrive and prosper, where society is worth living in, and where corruption and exploitation were stamped out at every turn and where social equity was based on an actual measure of righteousness as demonstrated by contribution to the well being of the total society, then they would have a winner on their hands. Then they would have a culture that could take the world by "storm" as you put it.

As it is they are working on an exploitation machine that the "USA" continues to enable by using their nation as a manufacturing pit in the ground for the gain of our corporations and the detriment of all USA and Chinese people.

These kinds of machines go no where and end with some psychopath sitting on a pile of paper money surrounded by skeletons of the loved ones he betrayed wondering if he MAYBE might have done something wrong, and then deciding "no, they were wrong, I was right" as he takes his final breath before becoming unconscious from fumes and overtaken by flames.

Their garbage fate is tied to our garbage fate in the system that we can't seem to point in a better direction.
