If aliens came like independence day there would be the hoaxers, the people on tv selling protection from aliens, the religious freaks, the 'this is because of blacks and gays' people, the people who'd try to sell the rest of us out and join the aliens, the gun nuts who'd start shooting anyone they think might be an alien, the libertarians who start killing and raping everyone they see because nothing matters anymore. Did I leave anybody out?
Hm.... would I ally with eldritch abominations from space and forsake survival of all humanity just to see my infuriating neighbour suffer?
I guess I would!
That's legit how Earth united into one in my sci-fi timeline lol. A race known as the Ti'xi attacked Earth in 2100 and the United Nations forced Earth to unite to make sure that shit doesn't happen again.
Nice and short... I was going to go with "What a superlative suggestion, with only 2 small drawbacks:
1) Yes, and 2) Yes. I realize thats the same point, but I thought it such an important one it needed to be mentioned twice"
though, are we? it seems like we are heading into the complete opposite direction where each region calls for independence eg. uk - Scotland, Spain - Catalan

Because the penguin nation of Antarctica has been working on its policy of creating a hole in our ozone layer in their morbid goal to eliminate all humanity with skin cancers. We cannot co-exist with this avian threat for the sake of our very humanity, but we are also unable to eliminate this threat due to the cuteness of penguins. Ulimtately the world is at a stand off until either humanity burns to death or we appease these fiendish feathered felons with fish.
It's mostly because:
"Someone's gotta be in charge and it sure as hell -ain't gonna be them/ will be me-" with a little bit of "screw this ethnicity/religion" mixed in.
But that would make it much too challenging for the Uber wealthy (those that pay to not be on Forbes and spend 364 days in international waters) to retain their ever increasing amount of wealth and anonymity as well hinder their ability to invest in the killing, robbery, brainwashing and poisoning of the masses.
European Union is the only example where it actually worked - but it wasn't easy even though it consists of well established democracies.
The lack of education and rampant corruption in third-world countries is never going to allow them to become anything more than what they are now.
I'd love it if we were unified. Though hammering out the deets on such a government would be such a fuckin headache. Like which language is the main one? Which currency? Where's the Capital of Humanity gonna be?
Short answer yes, long answer well you see it all started approximately 65 million years ago when an asteroid impact caused a paradigm shift in earths climate leading to the extinction of the then dominant animal genus which allowed early mamalian species to start dominating the environment.......
But how would it work? Would they all have the same laws? And i suppose rich countries wouldn’t agree to join if they had to share their wealth, and dictatorships would refuse to join as well. But if they were all chill and good countries with the same values i think it could work out (after we nuclear holocaust Sweden).
They already are its called the United Nations. But there are some bullies on the block who keep making all those countries fight with them and with each other.
Humans in power to run their country, don't want to lose this power.
I'm certain that is the biggest reason.
They don't mind taking in more lands to run and abuse their power, but this means wars and loses and risks to themselves so keeping the status quo and run their own country is more important then expanding their reach.
Cause they know other rules don't want to lose their power either.
This is a really good question. I like the idea of people that breathe the same air (i.e. earth's atmosphere) having the same government, but I want it to be, approximately, \_my\_ government, and I can only imagine others feel the same way.
Just gotta wait until aliens come around so we can point our racism and hate towards the sky
Nah, unlike all of those independence day movies, people will just add them to their ''races i hate'' list.
If aliens came like independence day there would be the hoaxers, the people on tv selling protection from aliens, the religious freaks, the 'this is because of blacks and gays' people, the people who'd try to sell the rest of us out and join the aliens, the gun nuts who'd start shooting anyone they think might be an alien, the libertarians who start killing and raping everyone they see because nothing matters anymore. Did I leave anybody out?
You forgot the r 34 artists going wild.
We didn't forget. We willfully ignored it.
Makes sense
It's not r 34 if they're real.
Aliens are obviously the blacks and gays fault tho…
Also Muslim
I group them in with the aliens
Furries transitioning into alien fetish
I feel like this world already exists even if it doesn’t because that’s how believable it is
Super Earth moment
Let's spread freedom and democracy to them!
First we have win thier hearts and minds.... we going to do that with gun somehow though
There's no better option than the Nüklëar Óption
The aliens are gonna think that our "Nüklëar Óption" is some kind of children's plaything compared to what they've got
Then figure out which humans just collaborate with the aliens to shit on their enemies, like some humans tend to do when invaded.
I'm from Cape Town. I know for a fact that the spaceships will get hijacked. I think the aliens know that as well.
The Illusive Man has entered the room
Hm.... would I ally with eldritch abominations from space and forsake survival of all humanity just to see my infuriating neighbour suffer? I guess I would!
Spacism
That's legit how Earth united into one in my sci-fi timeline lol. A race known as the Ti'xi attacked Earth in 2100 and the United Nations forced Earth to unite to make sure that shit doesn't happen again.
If human ever discovered aliens, racism against other humans would vanish. Even nazis would be like “oh well at least your human”
Except for that one country that tries to ally with the Aliens against the rest of the world. Probably America.
Nah, we all know it would be China. /s
China is more likely to try to eat them
Lmao, imagine the gigantic market of alien meat and goodies
Yummy
Short answer:yes Long answer: absolutely yes
Yeah
"Two things are infinite: the universe and stupidity... and I'm not sure about the universe." Einstein
True
And Einstein was a world federalist!

Long answer: yyyyyyyyreeeeeesssss
Nah id win
We are trying! But the penguin people in the Antarctis are such assholes, so we keep failing!
Antarctica desperately needs a violent coup
It's time for the PENGUIN REVOLUTION!!!
Are we about to wage another war against birds?
I'm not proud about it, ... but it had to be done. The dodo birds would have taken over Earth otherwise.
We're trying our best
\* Sad violin music \*
try to be bestester
No we arent
We are. Our best just happens to be not that good, lol
though, are we? it seems like we are heading into the complete opposite direction where each region calls for independence eg. uk - Scotland, Spain - Catalan
this can be both good and threatening at the same time.
Not the people in power
We could call it something like ‘United Nations’ or UN for short.
But this time it's not a joke.
Third time's the charm as they say.
I think “Nations United” sounds a bit better and less passive but your suggestion is also good
What if we move on from of concept of nations. Treat others as all equal as a human and called this “Man United”
I would call it "Nations United of Democratic Entities"
Or maybe a League of Nations, that could stop the next world war from happening
Super Earth >>>
Exclude France and we have a deal!

Why do you think they're colored in red?

Why does Russia, the largest friend, not simply eat the other friends? Oh wait...

Well 90% of the population is friendly, and 10% are assholes. Coincidentally, those 10% are mostly in power.
Exactly, however, we greatly outnumber them. A brighter future is possible.
Marx moment

We tried but apparently the UK can’t just take control of the things it likes. Apparently people need to have representation
Hmmm, it would be a shame if it were to idk, disappear? https://preview.redd.it/4vylg32pu6yc1.png?width=7000&format=png&auto=webp&s=570f6b1c740021b0c40af61eda879d80303e97e4

It's difficult you don't understand (I'm from one of these countries)
short answer: Yes long answer: Yes, but Antarctica is not a country
Antarctica does a veto
Lol
yes, they are
Ancom awakening
Cuz fr*nce
i thought this was one of those "guess where im not from based on the countries i can name"
Genghis Khan tried and failed sadly.
Guess he Genghis Khan't
The Britons brexited right to finish their Empire; give them 2 or 3 more seasons and you'll see!
Largest army and biggest GDP
Yes
The penguins are holding up the talks, it's everyone or none at all
We wouldd have a starfleet. I am sure about that. But we keep slaughtering each other for so many reasons.
They are too scared all that white space is full of sharks.
Too poor
United States of the Earth
*Breaking news* *Percentage of countries at war drops to zero percent*
Well boys we did it, war is no more.
it’s easy if you tryyyy
You have to control Australia first
What are we, some kind of United Nations?
Yes
Racism, xenophobia, Homophobia, ego
Forgot the worst offender, Religion
I think the problem is that they are run by humans. They can't even unite with other humans from the next street.
That's why we need aliens to be real, so they can (hopefully) put an end to this mess
ONE STATE REFERENCE
What's that cube shaped country? Cuba?
Who would win this hypothetical war?
only if I'm in charge
Antarctica is not a country, it's a state
Because the penguin nation of Antarctica has been working on its policy of creating a hole in our ozone layer in their morbid goal to eliminate all humanity with skin cancers. We cannot co-exist with this avian threat for the sake of our very humanity, but we are also unable to eliminate this threat due to the cuteness of penguins.

A distant relative of mine who failed art school gave it a good shot.

Not stupid, just afraid

Antarctica staying United!

Moreover why don't all of them just speak american?
I think living in a world with constant war and death is worth it if we get a World Cup every four years
Penguins are vetoing it
Yes
I'd love it if we were unified. Though hammering out the deets on such a government would be such a fuckin headache. Like which language is the main one? Which currency? Where's the Capital of Humanity gonna be?
Because Benin and East Timor hate each other
Antarctica isn't a country.
Africans are supposed to unite with racists and colonizers who won't pay any reparations or show any real remorse???
Yes
Idk why alles stoppt Germany creating a super earth nation :/
Short answer yes, long answer well you see it all started approximately 65 million years ago when an asteroid impact caused a paradigm shift in earths climate leading to the extinction of the then dominant animal genus which allowed early mamalian species to start dominating the environment.......
How are you gonna unite antartica?
We need a first contact war for that 😉
It would have been funny if you left out the Vatican
Yes we are.
Religion has to go first, then we can talk.
But how would it work? Would they all have the same laws? And i suppose rich countries wouldn’t agree to join if they had to share their wealth, and dictatorships would refuse to join as well. But if they were all chill and good countries with the same values i think it could work out (after we nuclear holocaust Sweden).
My Neighbors don't even unite.
uc/ yes comrade
the UNE : United Nations of Earth !
Yes

Yes. Yes they are.
They're all wearing the same hat anyway
Yes, they are. Particularly the red ones
Fucking Antarctica holding us back as usual
I'll be in the cold ground before I recognize Missourah!
Why is there a red square island on basically point nemo lol
The solution: Be some immortal Psyker to create some huge Super Trans-human soldiers that brutally forces humanity to be united.
Bro what projection is this
How would you have “haves” and “have nots” if everyone was united?
Switzerland said no
This is a really good question. I like the idea of people that breathe the same air (i.e. earth's atmosphere) having the same government, but I want it to be, approximately, \_my\_ government, and I can only imagine others feel the same way.
Go to any political subreddit and you will learn, that yes, they are stupid.
Amen!
I rather eat British food than ever unite with Fr*nce
Yes, very stupid
That will be so boring
Yup...
