The Roman Empire collapsed because it became too big, right? Well, "The Global Village" may be kind of a buzz word, but it has a grain of truth to it. Earth may very well shrink enough shrink to fit into a single fist.
So personally, I'm thinking heat death of the universe as the last line of defense ^^ I still would find it sad if human civilization could not find a moment to live in truth and peace, even if just because it would be nice, and because anything else is doomed to "shrieking nothingness" and ever worsening delusion anyway.
I think I "fight this crap" just to be less of a part of it. Even if I can't stop it, I am still responsible for myself. I'd rather struggle and then rest easy than the other way around, I'd rather be exhausted than have regrets.
Also, who knows. If history teaches us anything it's that no day was ever exactly like the one before.
Universal peace as a result of cumulative effort through centuries past might come into existence quickly - not unlike a crystal that suddenly forms in a solution which has been slowly prepared. --- Nikola Tesla
Yes, the same could be said about total tyranny, and "a boot trampling on a human face, forever". But still, never say never? Just consider how people in power tend to scramble, how much effort is spent on distracting or deceiving the population. The emperors are naked and on very thin ice... and they know it.
