    No one knows how to do that. Global civilization is in decline. Canada’s been very lucky to be mostly free of war but that’s about it.

    The true problem of democracy is that it’s the government of a million tiny special interests, each of which screws over the entire society a small amount in order to benefit themselves a larger amount.

      This is a very Western oriented perspective. The West is in decline, yes, and currently other options aren’t great, but areas like South America might flourish as Western imperialist reach withers.

      We’re in for hard times either way, but if you’re going to use a word like “global” at least think globally.
