RE: Debate: One World Government - Advantages and Disadvantages

in #debate8 years ago

"Ease of framing 'how the world is' on the perception of the general population, making it easier to sway people with propaganda and minimizing countering views."

Lack of diversity in governance means bad governance propagates unchecked and experimentations with better governance are stifled. Same issues with any monopoly, just much more insidious when the power of government is at stake.

Imagine if that one world government was Hitler's Nazi Germany?

Sort:  

It is Hitler's Nazi dream

Very true and that's definitely a real concern that I personally had in mind. I'm never comfortable simply believing we have benevolent governance. It can be easy to use 'controlled media' and other propaganda to paint the picture the rulers want versus what's really going on. This would be the same concern whether this was a dictatorship or a democracy, they just use slightly different tools to achieve their goals.

Yeah and even if one, two, three, or n administrations of a government are "benevolent," it's guaranteed that at some point some group will take over that's violent, repressive, or destructive in some other way. One monopoly government means no choice and you're stuck with the good, the bad, the incompetent, etc.
