If jamming it over your dog ' s face and taking photos is wrong , then I don ' t want to be right . <| sep |> Change . org doesn ' t change any thing ever <| sep |> Skeptical . I mean , clearly there are areas we need to cooperate on , like CO 2 reduction targets , but once you set up that kind of apparatus of power , we both know that politicians are going to start using it to impose common police and security arrangements at some point , which will then become common laws . Most of the world is a LOT more conservative than Europe and America , with liberals being a minority even in these countries , so the popular support for stuff like porn bans , strengthened drug prohibition and the death penalty will be there . Before we know it , we ' ll all be living in a highly illiberal world with no escape . The only place to escape to would be Mars , which is completely impractical . The truth is that Western liberals are a small minority of the world population , and we enjoy some degree of power only because we are concentrated in independent countries . I just don ' t think the risk is worth it . I think the better solution is for nation states to just voluntarily work together on some things while remaining independent . Free movement and free trade between economies with similar welfare states and minimum wages is fine too , because then it ' s mutually beneficial , and manageable . Then this can be extended over time as other countries catch up .
