Blazkovitz,
P.1 Yeah I would estimate that a Trump victory would become the new norm for the Republican Party. In essence it is becoming the party of the white demographic in America.
With the Democrats, if Trump wins, there is a huge debate on who will take over next. The split up is between the more centrist Kamala Harris and that wing or AOC and the far left wing. Considering how extreme American politics is going, I would wager on AOC making a run.
Effectively she would embrace crazy far left policies that I think would cripple the country and eventually cause a peaceful secession along economic and of course demographic lines. Once again, if the centrists win, America might be able to hold together. Maybe.
P.2 I think that a world state is unlikely to be honest. I could see international cooperation eventually but we have been down this road before and it never seems to work in the long run.
I always expected that the colonisation of space would go on a similar theme to the colonisation of the Americas. That is several world powers would attempt it rather then a singular government. It seems more likely once technology to do so is available and cheaper plus with competition it would heavily speed up the process. Like what happened in the space race.
As for the world state, I think Emperor Palpatine would be a worthwhile allegory in all that would go wrong. Personally so prefer a multitude of powers to keep the balance rather then one state too. Imagine having laws in place I don't like. I can't move anywhere else because it's the same law of the land.
That is why I enjoy national diversity. It keeps things in the balance.
P. 3 And this technology in essence destroys our Humanity and the concept of free will entirely. Yes a psychopathic child could become a murderer but do 99 percent of people? No. Should we all have the same feelings and emotions just for the sake of security? I think not. This reminds me of the Ben Franklin quote.
P. 4 Actually it had nothing to do with democracies as the other powers had plenty of skeletons in the closet. The British Empire did many atrocities and the Boer War is one perfect example. First concentration camps in the world. Under a Democracy. Or what about the trail of tears? Or the various massacres that have taken place? What about Dresden?
And all of these actions also took place I would like to add for the greater good. Oh and I know America actually founded the eugenics movement which later on inspired the Germans...greater good, greater good...
P. 5 Therapy could be a potential solution but it depends on the crime and the concept of free will. If it does not infringe on free will I won't argue.
P. 6 Actually a lot of those so called democracies actually failed very quickly and ended up resorting quicker to dictatorship. Zimbabwe is a very good case example of this. As are many former colonies in the empire. In reality, empire was about money and nothing more.
P. 7 Actually yes I agree too. We have reached our technological peak. Usually two outcomes happen before we get to the next stage of development. Either an extremely rare genius is born that creates something out of this world and it is adopted...or it is a major war.
Usually it's unfortunately option 2.
P. 8 Actually this is a false argument. Democracies cause just as many wars as dictators. We can go through a long list but the latest example would be the Bush wars. Did people have a say? No they just went ahead and did it. All under the excuse that well you voted for us and we represent you...
Democracy is a very bad form of government and always eventually leads to caesarism and dictatorship anyway, as Oswald Spengler quite aptly pointed out.
P. 9 There won't be a predictable nuclear war with China and America in the next 4T. It's too predictable. No, the next war will be fought with the intention of actually winning. Countries will try to develop new ways of getting around the WMD problem so they actually have a chance of winning.
Also I don't think America will be a superpower too in the next 4T. It will probably be someone else at this point.
