It’s a bad thing. Each country should have its own autonomy, along with customs and traditions. Given man’s fallen nature, such a global government would have a strong corrupting influence and favor a totalitarian, might makes right system. The world’s current superpower, the United States, for example, should never be in a position to dictate whatever it wants to sovereign countries. It would not be practical and require a Surveillance System and Police functions on a global scale, so it would not be possible.
I don’t understand your last sentence. Are you aware of the document Project for the New American Century? Self-defense is good but becoming the world’s policeman, not so good.
Bad
Speaking from a non-religious and cultural viewpoint here: I’m of the opinion that diversity is one of the things that makes us humans ourselves. Cultural differences and different languages could be a barrier (sometimes annoying), yes, but at the same time, I believe those things help establish our identities. (That’s why I think the best way to deal with these differences is to understand them and then accept that these differences exist, not force or pressure other peoples to adopt customs or ideas that were not theirs. Of course, in the long run, different cultures in contact with each other will influence one another - that’s another fact we should accept: that no culture which comes into contact with another will remain ‘pristine’ forever - but IMHO that’s still a different thing from eradicating a preexisting culture and forcing a new one.)
I believe that cultural diversity is possible without national sovereignty, which is really the cause of war.Speaking from a non-religious and cultural viewpoint here: I’m of the opinion that diversity is one of the things that makes us humans ourselves.

If we stifle this diversity, I think the whole world would be a lot more boring place to live in. My idea of scary is totalitarianism and total conformity: that’s why I find the Smith clones in The Matrix Reloaded or as the last poster said, Ingsoc from Nineteen Eighty-Four really haunting. There’s this Japanese proverb that ‘A nail that sticks out gets hammered down’ (since the Japanese value wa or harmony so much, individualism or being ‘different’ from the mainstream is not exactly encouraged - which is one of the interpretations of this proverb). I don’t want the ‘conform or die’ interpretation of the proverb to hold true for the whole world, no thank you.
That’s why I said I was talking from a cultural, rather a political POV. (I’m not well-versed in politics and I generally stay away from those types of discussions.) But still, I don’t think we could really pull a ‘One World Government’ effectively right now, or maybe ever.
It is not a good thing. It is basically the masonic “civilized” way to achieve their eternal dream of conquering the whole world. The way it could be structured you can see it now on the lens of the European Union. Basically the EU is the first step to achieve this one world government. On it first step, well I’d the EU, then the idea would be to replicate the EU model through all the continents. In Africa you have the African Union. The Arab League would be the middle east. In the Americas you have the USAN, the CARICOM, SICA and NAFTA and you will have one for each region. In the beginning these “blocs” work like trading/economical vehicles buy the final idea is to turn them into a EU -one regional government that controls each country. When you finally have each region fully controled by the bloc’s government then you will have a government that will control all the regions hence turning it into a one world government.
I know millions would weep salt tears over the loss of their nations’ sovereignty, but I for one would be glad to see the prospect of WW3 finally laid aside.
