We had a war barely twenty years ago involving an entire army of droids on one side, and I have found most people have gotten over that fear rather quickly, even if out of convenience.
I would absolutely believe the UNA is behind it, with corporate cooperation. There is much overlap in the politics of this world. It's oligarchical to an extreme, the same surnames show up across most boards and positions of government.
That's a lot closer to a timeline I would understand.
So long as there's industry in war, that overlap is always going to be there, but I've never seen it this bad. How anybody in this world trusts their leadership and these corporate entities is beyond me.
The trajectory of this world seems like the outlier on that front.
A lot of the wealthy and middle classes are safe, healthy, well fed. The poor are the ones suffering as usual, but a lot of it is swept under the rug, or the project of many a charity, or presumably shipped off to the Mars Colony. The global army may have something to do with as well. Not so much a trust as a show of force.
I agree. 500 years of propaganda can do a number on people, I suppose.
Morningstar is also relatively new in the grand scheme of things, about fifty years old. It was founded by El, though given this planet's aversion to AI, ze prefers that part to be kept quiet, as well as zeir identity as AI within it.

And trust or show of force, I would expect a resistance to be bigger. Morningstar is trying something, but it seems so small.
