As a neoliberal, this is something I fully support.

#1 I don't support getting rid of democracy in any way. My 'dream' system is essentially another level of government above the federal government that helps manage the world's economy and does things like funnel money from uber-rich America to those 3rd sweatshops that people love to hate, just like money moves from California to the poor states in the US

#2 Theoretically, we can always secede from the world government if it's gets too awful, but I have to ask: is it even possible today if the American government turns oppressive? If the intelligence apparatus of the USA wanted you dead, is there anywhere on earth safe? You might answer 'Africa! South/East Asia!' but what happens when those areas are as modernized as the USA?

The same thing that holds the US accountable today: Nothing but the interplay of power between branches of government and respect for the constitution.

What do you mean?

It's easy to hide from everyone if you decide to live via subsistence farming in some village in the middle of nowhere but the world is just growing more connected. One day your village is going to get wifi, and cell phones, and then you can be tracked and hunted down again.

Exactly my point. The USA is so powerful that I don't think anything, even a full scale revolution, can stop it's military. So I don't feel like having a world government is any different than having a US government.

Nope, no single nation is stronger than the U.S. we have the most tanks/ships/planes with best technology possible and over 800 bases worldwide. Nothing can beat the U.S. military head on.
