I want there to be a global government one day (preferably by the United States peacefully absorbing the rest of the world gradually), so pro-globalization.

It's not always executed well, though.

wut

My dream-scenario is for the US to absorb Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand sometime before 2100 (since there would be no language barrier, and they're already developed economies, and not too populated). So, we get 13 new states from Canada from its 10 provinces and 3 territories, around 10-20 from the UK from England/Wales/Scotland/NorthernIreland and its overseas territories like Bermuda and the Falklands, 8 from Australia's 6 states and 2 territories, 2-3 from NZ, probably 2-3 from the Republic of Ireland. Plus granting statehood to the US's territories. And then, with time, absorb other countries. Maybe Europe by 2200. Maybe Latin America and India by 2300. Combine with making the English language even more prevalent worldwide so every student becomes fluent in it as a first or second language in elementary school in every country, and helping the rest of the world with its economic development. Eventually, maybe by like 2800, the United States is the only remaining country, having peacefully absorbed the rest. And, to prevent states' rights from leading to another civil war, also change our system from federal to unitary (still have states, but no more "states' rights"), and just rename the USA to a simple "the Union" like it was known under Lincoln. Keeping the Senate without expanding doesn't make sense, but if the US becomes a world government (and beyond, with space colonies in the Solar System) then it makes sense to keep the Senate around longer until concepts of liberty and democracy are the norm throughout the world like it's within the US, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, etc. today.

When I said global government, I didn't want people to think I meant some undemocratic institution like the current EU or UN.

And yes, of course globalization has not been executed well. But that's no reason to declare globalization as always bad, or that they way we've globalized so far is the only way.

Well, globalism has resulted in the rise of demagogues amidst growing anomie and atomization...
That's like blaming the KKK on Lincoln.
