is there any proposition whatosever that would meet zero opposition globally? It's hard enough getting provinces to agree on stuff. I can't imagine getting hundreds of countries to all unanimously agree on anything.
We'd need some hostile alien species to even consider that.

There are many, many international agreements that >100 countries agree to. The EU requires consensus for many things (what does that mean exactly? zero 'no votes?) as does NATO, which requires unanimity for some things. US Congress passes bills 'without objection' as a normal thing.
Maybe you are reading too many inflammatory stories? Humans are social creatures who are hard-wired to cooperate.
I mean even polio has its defenders, who seem to be winning (in the sense that you only need to convince 5% of the population to avoid vaccination to break herd immunity for the rest of us).
