The only moral sovereignty is my sovereignty.

Full sovereignty is a bad thing. People are dreaming if they think that one nation is a way for world peace. I.E. Think of the Soviet Union but worldwide without any fear of outside nations. That's what you will get because humans tend to go that way in loving themselves.

A one world centralized government is the only hope we have of surviving the alien threat.

The nation state is a relic of the modern era and should be discarded as soon as possible. Thanks for reading my pamphlet.

I'd prefer a world where nations continue to exist but international law is strong and there are plenty of overlapping super-national organizations. I think the EU is great, but maybe not its idea of an "ever-closer union." A one-world government would just be a recipe for ethnic strife, cultural imperialism, and coercion, since the only way every last nation in the world is staying under the same government is by force.

Our reality is already a simulation run by a morally ambiguous AI dictator, recklessly created by a one-world government in centuries past.

Global sovereignty is old-hat, you want to keep up with the times you need global suzerainty.

Randomized areas are computer generated and granted sovereignty at frequent intervals, allowing for states but not nationalism.

Popular sovereignty is what the United States is nominally about - the state is a reflection of public will through democracy -rather than the Eurasian system of an individual/family's will directing society without recourse. Human societies just tend to default toward authoritarian sovereignty and this is part of why our global civilization is such a mess. If the United States renovates itself, rediscovers popular sovereignty to have libertarian socialism in one country - it could then radiate across the globe. Especially if part of this system of government is open source software that any nation can adopt.

FreeGovOS, a fork of GovernmentOS dedicated to strengthened core principles of Freedom and Individualism, is incompatible with the historically derived and leftist-tainted version of welfare and public services offered by GovernmentOS. FreeGovOS therefore ships with the alternatively-named social safety and infrastructure modules IceWell and IceServ. Free and open sores government for everyone!

The American highway system and the world wide web both have different measures of 'sovereignty'. There are 'rules of the road' and 'protocols' that allow for a measure of freedom for individuals. I use a dashcam because I think a new kind of objective law and justice is possible if enough people seek change in themselves. That is always the issue of libertarianism - the individual is a minority of one and billions of them can never be satisfied.

McDowell posted:
I disagree, at least by any reasonable definitions of society and authoritarian. One need only look at the communal social relations prevalent among modern-hunter gatherers, for an easy counter-example. Individual freedom and autonomy are important values in many cultures besides America. For example a fundamental principle among the Arab tribes of Yemen is essentially "nobody can tell you what to do," and any Sheikh who thinks he can dictate to his people what they can or should do is bound to find himself deserted by his supporters. A common feature of many tribal systems of governance is that the more power one segment accumulates, the faster it splinters into new and separate factions. Edmund Leach observed a cyclical process of state formation and dissolution in Highland Burma, with society fluctuating between states of extreme social stratification and egalitarianism, depending on circumstance, and with each phase holding within itself the seeds of its own destruction.

True, I was focusing exclusively on modern industrial/bureaucratic states with that statement about society. But assuming modern telecommunications aren't going anywhere people won't have laissez-faire tribal organization anymore - some version of the western nation-state governs most of the world's people. The Chinese 'Mandate of Heaven' idea actually combines popular and hereditary sovereignty. The Emperor is conditionally endorsed by the gods and the people.
