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.
