All those changes you mentioned are trivial compared to completely reworking how human society has functioned for thousands of years.

No, they're not.

I'm sure people argued the American economy would collapse without slave labor.

And America not being world police isn't a revolutionary change, we only started being world police in the last 70 years or so, and it's done more harm than good realistically.

I'm unclear what your defeatist motivation is, but it doesn't seem like you've actually sincerely thought this through.
