coming together long term, but falling apart short term. The dividing force in the world today is religion, particularly in the middle east, in another couple generations people will grow tired of believing the sky fairy teleported a prophet to jerusalem and that he had visions in the desert and join the rest of us in fun stuff like running, video games, good movies, etc

LOL, millennials think their generation is so superlative one way or another. If you lived through the cold war you would not be thinking the world is "falling apart" right now.
I vaguely remember something called World War II.

Oh yeah, I heard about that one. How many lives lost again? Didn't that end with David Haselhoff throwing a free concert on some wall.
Certainly the american experience of the lastest generation pales in comparison. I mean what, they just had to endure: 9/11, a ten year quagmire war in the middle east that has ended in complete failure and a media/information system that beams every bad story, no matter how insignificant, to them on repeat.
With the spectre of automation hovering over the economy and the out/in sourcing of previous upper class jobs, how can one not have the impression that the world they grew up believing in has turned out to be nothing more than a cattle-processing line developed to turn us into perpetual consumers and debtors? Meanwhile the lowest common denominator of ethical behave is rewarded both professionally and personally and if you aren't with it, you slowly start to realize that you are a cog of the state and system who's liberal idiocy enables and promotes this behaviour.
I'd say it is falling apart but the problem is that too many people see it as coming together because they just got a new flat screen or the Patriots won again or they're coming out with a new season of Game of Thrones.

About 3 million Vietnamese for starters. Lots of Koreans too. Angolans, Afghans, Nicaraguans, el Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Congolese. Imagine present-day Ukraine except it's all around the world, NATO and the USSR pulling puppet strings to fight wars in dozens of countries.
It was a huge war, and when it ended, the bloated supermilitaries refused to accept their demise and invented terrorism to keep it going indefinitely.
