Looking at what’s going on in the world, none of what you list as ideal is possible. If it were, Palestinians would not be in the condition that they are suffering through, an agonizing slow death march, Kashmiris would not be targeted for annihilation, Yemen would be peaceful and Saudi royal family in dungeons, babies would not be in cages here at home, we, the zenith of all civilization, would not be in our dark age of hatred and bigotry, CNN and Fox would shun white supremacists and stop spreading fear and so on and so forth.

It’s a lost cause this utopia you talk about. It’s every man for himself. Collectives are a thing of the past, a failed attempt at true globalization. We are tribal and vicious and cruel. Period.
