  I wish to highlight that between the Bell Riots and the Phoenix, ST predicted that there would be both the Eugenics Wars and WW3, which leave the world so badly broken that the only "nations" that remain are the Western Alliance and the Eastern Coalition. Alameda, CA gets completely blown off the map; and it's not the only such place.

  It's not a pretty picture, when you look at the history they gloss over.

  For a while. Maybe the rest of our lives. We’d come out of it eventually.

  Maybe in 1000 years democracy will have a resurgence and we’ll have a global democratic government.

  Until people get complacent and it stops working and the whole thing collapses in on itself resulting in a return to feudalism.
