And then, the UNE was born. Which became the UPE. Which became the UEE. And since then: nothing.
It has been over seven hundred years since one world government took over, and for seven centuries now this monolithic, authoritarian state has done nothing… not counting the many blunders, wars, missed opportunities and catastrophes, that is.
Kings, Lords, Sultans, Priesthoods — and Emperors: with the exception of a very few, brief, shining moments, these parasitic, hereditary control-freaks, social climbers and tyrants have had their boot on our neck. This collectivist, monolithic monstrosity has stolen uncounted quintillions of credits. It is not Big Business or Big Government. It is a hybrid combining the worst features of both; corporations that buy politicians so that politicians can buy votes in order to write laws protecting corporations.
The UEE is too stratified, too fossilized, too slow, too stupid, too clumsy, too expensive, and too corrupt. The UEE is too big.
