  1. Fun thought. One of my favorite History Tubers TiKhistory brought up the point that Globalism, or Internationalism is relatively the same thing as Nationalism. There is little difference between a Global Community than a National Community, just the size of that Community. So when someone is pushing for Internationalism, they're just pushing for a bigger Community rather than their smaller National Community, but in the end, if say the Internationalist win and make their grand Global Community, they're now stuck with just another but larger Nationalist Community.

  2.  @Scatmanseth  Yes but even the Church schemed to destroy entire kingdoms. I mean the 30 Years War was literally divided along religious lines. Mostly done to crush the rise of Protestantism and Lutheranism in Central Europe. Which were a threat to Rome. Basically a Internal European Crusade. Population decline in Central Europe ranged from 30-60% making it one of the most devastating conflicts in European history, borderline genocide, all for the sake of preserving the Catholic Church and it's follower's position of power in the region. So there were many of the wars against England between France/Spain because the English dared to go against the Church and the Church was the body pushing for those invasion attempts. There was plenty of scheming back then in short. So it wasn't like it couldn't happen today. Church rarely upheld the morals it claimed to stand for, if it risked losing it's centralized control of Europe at large. Definitely during it's golden years when it controlled almost every aspect of society, from education, architecture, art, music and had more power than kings. I honestly don't care for Nationalism, or Internationalism. To me they're two sides of the same coin. But I do agree, the larger the Community being governed the more complex and less efficient the system eventually becomes. To me the concept of a State is a necessary Evil, and Nationalism has it's uses, works well as a glue to hold people together when necessary, but it shouldn't rule people's lives/decisions.
