This may be the golden age of multiculturalism as well. When the oil
goes away, so will ease of travel and border shifting. Nations will
re-assert themselves and most savagery and injustice will be localized
instead of global.
A mixed blessing in the decline I think. The smaller the group, the
better it takes care of its people.
As it is, we are halfway between nation-state and global village, and
have all the worst aspects of both. (If they want you to die in a
foreign war, you are supposed to do it "for your country." If they
want you to accept outsourcing of your job, you are commended to "face
the reality of the global marketplace.")
