There is always going to be someone that wants power over others. And someone who hates others.
It’s human nature.
We’ll never be like the perfect Star Trek world, all chummy and getting along.
The United Earth government in Star Trek looks almost as unrealistic as Faster Than Light travel.
A united earth government isn’t contrary to any physics law I’m aware of, but that would take a strong political will, not just from leaders but from the general population, as well as a very long time.
The European Union has been a work in progress for 70 years to integrate different countries into one political system. Lots have been done, but it’s still far from a small-scale United Earth. Every country hold onto its sovereignty, and a consensus from all 27 member states is required for many things, so it’s moving rather slowly.
Our meatbag bodies just aren’t made for space travel, living off-planet would be unbelievably hard and all “colonies” would be dependent on Earth, and a magical engine that breaks the laws of physics will never be invented
Sadly, I don’t think it’ll ever happen.

More like The Expanse.

The Expanse but without the space travel.
