A fundamental problem of internet-driven geopolitics

Main
- Just started skimming the federalist papers. Special thanks to the writers for reminding me how interconnected domestic politics and geopolitics are.
- One of the most fundamental problems of internet-driven geopolitics is the following:
- Atheists in US are coming to the realisation that they share more in common with atheists in Russia or China or India, than they share in common with Christians in US. The most fundamental thing they share in common is a shared belief in how to organise relationships (i.e. views on sex/family/parenting/community/etc)
- Similarly, christians in the US are coming to the realisation that they share more in common with christians in Russia or India or wherever, than they share in common with atheists in India.
- This is why it makes sense for American leftists to seek support of the Russian govt, or for Indian atheists to start youtube channels while sitting in Europe. Similarly it makes sense for Indian Hindus to ally with Israeli jews, and so on.
- Honestly, reading federalist papers is seriously making me question - should I just ask for a full blown world government? Instead of pursuing all my current leaking plans. A world government would be more ambitious.
- There will soon be so much internal chaos in domestic politics of various countries, that countries could actually benefit from merging with each other IMO. Maintaining a national identity makes sense if its people share something in common. But if people share nothing in common, and share more in common with people of the other country, then there is genuinely not much loss of national identity of either country, when both countries merge.
- My solution is that each political camp (or atleast, my anti-ASI political camp) should set up bases across all geopolitical spheres. However, this is still a less ambitious plan than literally building a world govt.
Hypothesis
- Back when the US geopolitical sphere was decided, there was a lot less intermixing of people across countries. It was far easier for elites to travel, but the rest didn't. Now a lot more people to travel for economic reasons, also a much smaller set of people travel for fun/curiosity/etc.
Hypothesis
- If I am right, then most of the current authoritarian nuclear powers should become democracies soon? Like, small number of youbers living outside their geopolitical spheres should literally be able to topple govts? Why is this taking so long?
Economics
- The primary reason to not merge would just be the endless economic gerrymandering that always happens - why leaders of govts of US geopolitical sphere don't want to help leaders of Indian govt, why leaders of US govt don't want to help leaders of European govts, why leaders of Californian govt don't want to help the leaders of govts of other US states, why leaders of Big Tech companies don't want to help leaders of California govt, why Sam Altman doesn't even want to help (leaders of) Big Tech companies. Unfortunately an uncontrolled race is likely to literally crown Altman as world dictator (if the loss of control outcome doesn't happen).
