The earth needs to be united politically first. Even in Star Trek there was a horrible war before first contact with the Vulcans helped unite humanity. We still exist in the age of nationalism and don’t think of ourselves as humans first. Military Technology needs to be guarded until we can get everyone on the same page

Man, we just need some brutal resource conquering aliens to come kick our ass a bit for humanity to realize "human rights" are just social construct that aren't free to maintain and that humanity to needs to be united (climate change is too abstract for average monkey brained human to bond over, which is why we need aliens).
