First reply best, also inventing hidden hand cults and inviting manlet warriors into them.

>>988371
invent nation-states.

Arguably atmoic/nuclear weapons have done more to secure world peace than anything else in human history.
For the first time in Human history, major world powers are forced to cooperate because failure to compromise could end everything.
>>988371
nothing. doing a stupid action implies the capacity to engage in smart actions. the ability to do so would imply agency.
humans are literal robots in that we follow simple behavioural patterns. humans do what they do. that is all.

Probably Abrahamic religions and Communism.
And nationalism as well.

World peace is not a necessary or even desirable condition, especially when purchased at this price.
Conventional war never threatened humanity in any meaningful way, because even the most brutal war invariably burns out before the nations participating it can achieve mutual extermination. But nuclear weapons can wipe out whole regions in a single day. Though the likelihood of their use in any given conflict is slim, on a long enough timeline, they will be used eventually, and the destruction they can cause will be far worse than the wars they have prevented in the meantime.
>>988558
Also a great way to make up for all those missed wars in about an hour.

>>991208
Why would a peace treaty requiring demilitarization, entirely payable reparations to make up for four years of destruction, and ceding land without disintegrating the defeated country outright be the most stupid thing in human history?
>>988371
Mass democracy, probably. Not specifically universal suffrage, but more like universal male suffrage.

>>991372
they essentially humiliated the german people, making them hate the french, while never actually following through on the limiting proposals, essentially leaving Germany with the means for revenge
>>991372
It should've dissmantled germany, and making them pay that much was nonsense.
If dumbfuck Pétain didn't send the americans that weren't needed, we might have done otherwise.

letting the working class get the vote
If suffrage was limited by a poll tax then smart decisions would be made AND we'd be richer

On the other hand, it did give us a pretty cool tv program for children.
The agricultural revolution.

Universal suffrage; the vote needs to be limited to property owners. Also, birthright citizenship. The two combined have consistently rekt democratic countries, when large numbers of impoverished foreigners move in and become a dominant political force within a single generation.
It's already hit America twice, first with the Irish and then with the Mexicans. Now it's happening across Europe with Arabs and Africans.

Here's a radical idea: Just because you deny plebs the vote doesn't mean you have to oppress them.
Treat them fairly and protect their individual rights with a strong constitution, but don't give them a voice in government. The people won't rise up as long as the government doesn't try to over-regulate their lives.

>>992205
How are you going to determine who's a proletarian or not? Intelligence? Income? I know plenty of smart poor people and rich people who are complete idiots.
Moreover, if you only let the rich vote the poor will inevitably get screwed over. And since the government consists of only rich voices, the poor won't be protected.
