We should have a world government

The threat of war is used by violent hate groups to encourage hatred toward certain ethnic groups and so on. There is some tension, but it's often heavily exaggerated by mass media, because their job is to make things as sensationalized as possible. Facts often become distorted. We don't know what Kim Jong Un is thinking. I think the key to stopping war is to understand that it is unnecessary to conduct wars any more. We should regard war as a useless carryover from our barbaric past and refuse to have any. My system from round one could work particularly well. We do not need to unify the world. You say that the world becoming pacifist is impossible. It may sound ridiculous, but it's no more ridiculous than expecting every country on Earth to willingly join as one people. Nobody would ever do that. The countries might coagulate a little, sure, but some will always want to remain independent, and when the bigger countries invade the smaller ones, it will only mean more war and more death. You can't enact an enormous change like this without decades, maybe centuries, of preparation. This wouldn't be tiddlywinks, it would be the largest thing in human history. It's not an idea to toy around with. Your quote from Einstein is cool, and he's entitled to his opinion, but other people have more of a cultural identity, and they will not give that up. Einstein can be whoever he wants to be, but presenting a quote from Einstein doesn't mean it's a smart quote, or that it's correct. Einstein perpetually stated that, like all other people, he was only human, and he stuck his tongue out to show that intellect can be humorous. His quote is great, but it doesn't mean it's correct. Nobody is like him. He's smart, not to be biased toward one country or another, but nobody is as smart as him. Nobody will enact this grandiose plan. We don't need a world government. We have the United Nations, and they should improve slightly, but they function quite well. Before 1945, we were in a constant state of peril, but after we realized that a threat like Hitler could rise again, we decided to do something about it. We can feel some kind of unity without being completely united. It's absolutely true, a superstate would destroy the world using complete and total domination. The current system works because if somebody doesn't like where they're at, they can leave. But what happens when there are only two choices? People will be forced to do what they don't want to do. There will be no escape from the country. If the country functions well, everything is hunky dory. If the country goes berserk, it means the end. A world with only two countries would not aid democracy, it would hinder it. As I have said, even if one of these huge countries uses a democracy, the ratio of president to citizens is much higher than the current ratio in the United States. The president will be able to control many more people, do whatever he wants, with only the other hemisphere to stop him. The key to preventing war, I think, is to keep countries small. Two superstates would feel an equal sense of power, so they would be equally willing to destroy one another. That was the problem during the cold war, when our ego and the Russian ego expanded so far that we almost committed global suicide. If there are many small countries, they feel less power, so they understand that a war could anger a larger country. Our system is the best. Your idea is insane and you act as if it would be easy. It would not be easy. It would create more problems than what it was trying to prevent. We should just stop war and keep our countries how they are. We can end war. Look at my system above. Wouldn't it be a good alternative to war? It wouldn't kill anybody, and it would still accomplish what wars have always tried to accomplish. We can stop war. We just don't, because we're stupid. Judges, both me and my opponent have presented good arguments, but vote wisely. This is a very serious issue. Vote wrong, and your decision could haunt you. I hope you choose right, whichever that may be. Thank you.
