Or do you think such things only can happen somewhere else?

Wars
" “Only 2% of Afghans are over 60, and 45% are under 14,” said one veteran of several of Afghanistan’s many civil wars. Give a boy $100 and a Kalashnikov and you have a fighter. We are living with human timebombs. They grew up with weapons and don’t need two weeks’ training: one hour will be enough.” "

I've discussed it several times in this essay Alan. You should find it repeated all over., it's pretty simple.

The funny side of it?
No politicians embrace a real democracy.

So we have a real democracy in reach. In a perfect world that is, not ours. And in that world we would be able to reach this consensus voting. In this we won't.

Internally, inside a nation, the closest equivalence to a consensus should be a democratic majority. Where our hierarchical systems only allows for 'representative democracies' though. What that says is that we have a way to a consensus, even without everyone agreeing. Presuming you accept democracy, and understand its foundation.

And the time for compromises seems fast to disappear.

In a world of peace one could argue that it builds on compromises. and when that fails building on wars. But a compromise isn't a consensus, and that is what we need today.

Not practicable, because the tools for it has existed ever since the birth of the Internet.
viable. As in possible to implement.

It's very easy to prove it. We just have to go to yourself and ask if you think that my idea of a real democracy is viable.

It doesn't build on consensus this game. You need a 'folk rörelse' to force that consensus, and they are short lived as the game doesn't change through them. What I call the game protecting itself.

To me it's a question of the internal logic's of our game. A world losing resources, which leads to competitions and means wars, and where those wars mean even less consensus on anything, except conquests, hegemony's, and gaining those resources. You can see our, and Russias, interest in this Ukrainia Russia war as one consequence of it, pertaining to the Arctic exploitation that will come in a near future. Then there are those semi conductor industries in Taiwan.

Of interest both to China, as well as of to us in the west, USA, etc.

It will be our next war, although I still hope it won't materialize. It was pretty easy to predict the Russia Ukraine war for me, and it's almost as easy to predict this one. It's a result of our game though, both wars are results from it as far as I'm concerned.

Then we have Taiwan, China and USA. From that it's only a very short step to the EU and NATO.
first some sort of 'opinion' on what it may mean for any consensus on global warming

Then those other aspects, as our next war
