    I might be mistaken but I think that the comparison is wrong. Starfleet and the federation are not the same.

    We want the federation and we are getting the terrain empire.

    We want starfleet and we are getting space force

      Why not build the federation? If billionaires can get their city states, it should be possible to start something with those who want it and grow from there.

        Earth is still not ready. If one other alien civilization started it and sowed up at our door, we word not qualify for membership. We are very far away from single world government and no wars / discrimination. It’s not impossible but not something that can just be built.

          Why focus on the single world government and no wars? The crucial part is the nondiscriminatory environment and the other startrek values.

            Yeah. You are probably right. I just thougt that you cant have both of those without the nondiscriminatory environment
