Realists?
Provide a single example of anything aside from what I described, in any period of human history that both:
did not maintain power through economic or just militaristic dominance of their local region
did not experience conflict with their neighbors.
They either had cohesive, hegemonic domination within their borders and geographic separation from rivals, or had challenges with bordering nation states.
I personally hope for a star trek future
Is this like a sound scientific theory that has some relevance to modern times? I could list off a myriad of "this thing has never existed in human history" making current times unique and possibly different when looking at cultural nuances. I get what you're saying totally, but this is a new era of history with the formation of Alliances like NATO and the EU that has really just started in regards to our span of time. Also, we tend to only hear about the "bloody" years of a society. One war can outshine hundreds or thousands of years with prosperity and peace so the whole doom thing seems like fear mongering.
Mainly I'm highlighting that humans are tribal creatures and without some global engagement and unification, nation-states and conflict would always exist
