Nassim Taleb has argued the same. Smaller organizations are more resilient and stronger, and bigger ones are more fragile. The idea of continental integration is a very dangerous one. One day, when we have a one world government, where will refugees flee to? Mars?
The EU's democratic deficit, and the fact that these regulations can be rolled out to most of the world's major economies without any proper debate or (likely) checks and balances, proves the dangers of political organizations that are bigger than "human sized". How do you even protest this? Any country is forced to listen to mass protests, but there's no such thing for the EU.
- Hakashiro 5y agoYeah? Then why won't Boris Johnson allow the Scottish to vote for independence? Surely, taking your argument as truth, Scotland is smaller than the UK and therefore stronger than the UK?
- concinds 5y agoBecause he would go down in the polls if he did that. That doesn't mean it's the "wrong thing to do". And yes, Scotland will exist for longer than the UK will, in all likelihood. They are "more durable" as I said. Them leaving would lead the UK to cease to exist in its current form.

A world is essentially impossible to achieve anyway, because super powers don't want anyone to dictate rules. The EU is not a mini-world government. it's an attempt at unifying many small nations to achieve peace and World power status. on their own, European countries are at the mercy if the US and China.
