Will the elites ever be on the chopping block?
Pacifying the global mass of sheep through Facebook/Tinder/video games/porn aside, in the event of a collapse:
1) Will they "divide and conquer" by creating fictitious groups of people to fight each other instead of them, say like how the British created or encouraged the Hutus and the Tutsis, as I understand?
2) Will they merely be replaced by other elites?
Just my thoughts, thinking that we live in a world where the power structure is similar to that in the world of Game of Thrones.
I'm of the mind that they will quickly be replaced by other "elites".
People crave a leader, they do not want to have to make choices nor feel responsible for the outcome of whatever choices were decided upon. They will however, bitch and moan over whatever they can find until they think they have found a replacement; people, a regime or whatever. Only to quickly never realize as more things change the more things stay the same.

So I've been thinking about this
-Btw, the one world government or whatever, I don't know whether that's part of communism/socialism. I just associate communism/socialism with welfare state and destroying the economy which is something I'm not about-
But multiculturalism, the Borg, one world government, whatever you want to call it - it seems like it will never work. Or at least hasn't up until now.
I guess it can never work - at least probably not without conflict
Quick google search of "successful multicultural societies" yields results like Australia, Canada, USA, which were all immigrant nations to begin with (the present day success of which is questionable)
Also, I addressed most of the guy's points. He just came at me pretty aggressively after no real provocation in my first post. Though admittedly the post was half-baked/not well thought out and I shouldn't have posted it in the first place
I am willing to wager that even if some utopia were created that all races were viewed as the same and no one gave 2 shits if you were green blue or mahogany colored and all spoke a universal language there would still be a schism between people.
Something similar to corporate division or even as mundane as people who root for X sports team over Y sports time. Even today, people have died due to something as retarded as that.
But it's also in this natural desire for competition and conflict that major scientific breakthroughs have been championed. People need a goal and challenge in order to become great. The untested man is the man who has yet to gaze upon his potential.
