There is no history of a universal global government and not agreeing with your unsupported opinion isn't even close to "willful blindness".
Why you'd make this kind of a comment I'm not sure. But it's certainly not a response to my comment because it addresses different issues and then claims "this must always be".
As far as small and localized, great, yes, I agree. However, there are issues that affect all of at a global scale. We are becoming increasingly tied together at a global scale and people's preferences probably isn't going to change that. This necessitates some kind of global rule making.
If your point was that humans are corrupt, well, I agree. So not looking for the UN to take over world government, just pointing out some things to consider.
It never just stops there. This is like expecting the vanguard government to give up control after the socialist revolution. There's more than enough history to demonstrate otherwise, and buying into that idea in 2018 is willful blindness.
The smaller and more localized the governments the better IMO. There's a reason the smaller countries have the best governments: US in the 19th century-early 20th century, modern Canada and some of Scandinavia, etc. Federalism with state/provincial governments a minimal federal government and no executive branch.
