&gt; &quot;more and more people don&#x27;t feel much loyalty for their respective states&quot;<p>The world will not be stable with that sentiment for long.  At some point, the &quot;global citizen&quot; will seek to express their political will; a will that will inevitably conflict with the will of the Nation-State.<p>To do that, the &quot;global citizens&quot; must have sponsors, leaders, and some way to organize.  Would-be sponsors, leaders,and organizers will see the potential for gain here and will step in to sponsor, lead, and organize the &quot;global citizens.&quot;  And at that point, a central world government has been seeded and will begin to grow.<p>Alternately, people will remain organized in Nation-states and the &quot;Global Citizen&quot; mentality will fade away since it won&#x27;t have any relevant meaning.
