See here's the deal...
Many around the world don't want that. We would be a state within a super state. Just like how we have it here in the United States. 50 states part
of the greater whole each with their differences or for another example what the EU is attempting to become a super state with many different
states/countries.
There will be resistance.

Exactly. MY perceptions will be different for the next guy's perceptions, and Those will be different from the next guy's perceptions, ad
infinitum.
Where I see yet ANOTHER layer or two of government being foisted on humanity, at the same time as I view current over-governance to be a problem, the
next guy may see all the "sameness" as a form of freedom, liberating him from the need to run the rat race, and all that.
There are likely to always be interpersonal issues, which get magnified to a national, or supernational (regional?) level. Human nature being what it
is, there will always be those among us who presume to lord it over us, for our own good and that of the children, of course. There will always be yet
others who think that guy at the top of the heap today is doing a bad job, and THEY could do better, by force if necessary. I don't really care what
their rationale is, I don't feel a need to be micromanaged, and neither do I feel a need to be on the same level as anyone else, be they high or
low.
There are more of me around, so yeah, there will be resistance.
Some folks appear to view this prospect as "democracy in action", all power given to the people. Others view the same situation as just another
jackass at the top trying to increase the size of "his" heap, and bringing more resources under his umbrella, at the expense of "the people", who
would only have the illusion of power.
I dunno, I reckon I can't really look at it objectively. In either case, whichever is the "objective reality", you are correct, there WILL be
resistance.
