[QUOTE="redpillage, post: 1150077, member: 8561"] This is a horrible idea and doesn't make sense from a cultural, anthropological, financial, and political perspective. [list] [*]Mixing of diverse culture destroys all but the most dominant one. [*]Mixing of cultures creates internal friction and constant conflict. You are basically fixing one problem (external conflict) with another (internal conflict). [*]Human civilications operate best in multi layered groupings extending from the family to the neighborhood, to the city, to the region, to the state, to the nation. [*]True diversity is like cooking a meal. It does not mean throwing all ingredients into a blender and mixing it all up. The goal is to create various sub regions with distinct components that complement each other, e.g. meat, potatoes, vegetables, etc. [*]Economically and financially speaking large regions do not function well. A good example is the European Union which is now being dominated by Germany due to its superior economic output. In part this has also led to the political chaos that's now taking place within the EU. A common currency is not a bad idea and may have worked had they stopped there.
