Not any advanced enough civilization.
Though a civilization based on capitalism where the greediest fucks get to hoard wealth and resources and get away with doing what ever they want? Yes.
Wouldn’t it be wild to find out that the galaxy is teeming with advanced intelligent life but they want nothing to do with us because literally all of them are peaceful?
Would be the least surprising thing, out of all the advanced civilizations actually existing options.
