Is world peace possible or are we doomed to struggle? (lemmus.org)

I was thinking about how we (USA) are always in continuous (ghost) wars and never try to negotiate for peace, to my knowledge.

How would a peaceful world look like?

One country and one languague or would a world power have to forcibly join everyone together?

No and I'd say diversity is worth over a homogenized society even if it comes at an increased chance of conflict. And it's not like people who live in the same country and speak the same language don't fight each other. People argue over mundane stuff like tv shows after all, and get into online wars and exoduses over social media platforms.

The peace you seek is probably only possible through massive brainwashing or an absolute privacy infringing totalitarian state that monitors everyone and is rapid in exterminating dissidents that are flagged for abnormal behavior.
