I mean the past 10 to 20 years of social media have shown a lot of societies glue already breaking.

A society can live just fine in a period of abundance. The societies that we currently have on earth do make it questionable of 'we' can right now. I mean I see people posting stuff like "I'd rather burn it all to the ground rather than see one cent more tax" kind of stuff when they have millions. That kind of person doesn't want more people uplifted and it takes away from their idea of being special.

The naive ones don't read into ST lore to know it comes after WWIII.

The dangerous ones do.
