i mean sure, there are skirmishes, little conflict between small countries, some civil wars in africa, etc but really the world has been relatively peaceful compared the rest of our bloody history. what is the cause? is nuclear weapons just so damn frightening that nobody really wants an all-out war? or people simply find other ways to get what they want without an open conflict (like on the positive side, economic growth by trade, open borders and all other opportunities etc to the more sinister side of multi-national corporate exploitation, from stuff like cocoa plantation, palm oil, gold, diamonds, etc? )

I mean, realistically yes. Much of the world was constantly fighting another in the past, and the western world has been relatively stable with another since ww2. Or at least not openly fighting another I guess.

Violent deaths are basically at all time lows since the early 2000s or so.
We aren't close to a world war, not even close. We aren't close to a global economic collapse either.

is the world today the most stable it has been in history? People bring this up all the time, but I don't think we have major powers willing to go at each other's throats like we did then. I think part of it is the fact that we don't have many truly autocratic regimes any more. Like when you have emporers or monarchs leading many of the world's major powers it would be easier for something like this to happen than today where even leaders like Putin have a lot less control than the Tsar. --- I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister. ...

If you think the world right now is the most stable it has ever been then you gotta believe you're in for one hell of a surprise at the Earth Shattering absolute chaos that is going to go down on January 22 when The Longest Running Weekly Episodic Television Show in History celebrates its 25th anniversary at the Barclays Center and its original home, the Manhattan Center.
Roman Reigns defends the Intercontinental Championship against The Miz with not just gold on the line but the entire pride of both men once and for all. Smackdown Superstars such as AJ Styles, Charlotte, The New Day and The Usos will be in action for the celebration. Brock Lesnar responds to the Devil's Favorite Demon Kane and The Monster Among Men Braun Strowman in their upcoming Triple Threat Brawl at The Royal Rumble. Several stars from Raw's history will be returning including Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, JBL, DX, Torrie Wilson and more. It's going to be off the charts. If you ever wondered what happens when a tornado meets a volcano you're going to find out next Monday and the world is never going to be the same. --- WWEPropaganda's Superstar of the day: Gentleman Jack Gallagher https://cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2016/08/a88d513491ce69dd-600x400.gif ...

Violent deaths are basically at all time lows since the early 2000s or so. I agree with this. I hope this is ozone hole 2.0 Like the movement is late, but in the end they acted and now the ozone hole is pretty much gone.

you also have ocean plastic pollution, the 6th mass extinction of animals, mass water shortages. deforestation. ocean acidification to worry about. overpopulation is a root issue. 16000 scientists recently signed a warning letter to humanity. http://edition.cnn.com/2017/11/14/health/scientists-warn-humanity/index.htm they do not think we will be fine.

anyone telling you climate change is going to be an easy battle is just bullshitting you. Agree with most of it. Tho i am not so sure about overpopulation. It is really more of a logistics problem instead of actual sustainability. We produce more food than everyone need, but alot of them get wasted or concentrated in few places. So are the nukes. Nobody is going to detonate them so casually. I think at least most world leaders at least realize enough that nothing really is gained by turning a part of the world into a wasteland. --- http://i.imgtc.com/iJyp6bF.png http://i.imgtc.com/ZBw36Qh.png Thanks for the peeps that made the pics <3 if i make typos it means i am on phone ...
