what is the "It" you are referring to? I really have no clue.
Yuyutsu,
The "it" stands for everything in society & I'd have thought you'd grasp that !
"It" goes without saying that "things more fundamental and more important than having a well functioning society" is nothing more than philosophical gobbledegook blabber among the ideological non-productive Tax Dollar gobbling irresponsibility promoting intellectuals.
Labor in particular offers such positions to many "refugees" who do not wish to integrate because many of them did not come here for integration. Many come because of the generosity extended to them at the expense of genuine citizens.
How many times have we read "He/she came here with nothing" & within three or so years they're on TV as Dr or Professor so-and-so filmed inside "their home" with nice furniture & paintings on the wall. I know of people born here who worked & worked & worked & still work & can't get a place to rent let alone call it "theirs" ? Yet some of these bought voters from God or only Allah only knows where, have academic & bureaucratic careers within a few short years ? Ah, I see, they "worked really har" & "studied at university". How many of these new voters do we see in constructive blue collar jobs actually contributing to keep the wheels rolling ? When I people I know wanted to do courses we couldn't & you want to know why ?
Because we couldn't get the time of work to attend & pay money for the courses at the same time. Yet, many of "these" people Got paid to attend ! Yes, I & many I know can tell a few stories about prejudice & racism & DEI & quota !

Dear Indyvidual,

Your long comment about the Labor party; certain immigrants; academic degrees; jobs; housing affordability; etc. etc., pertains to a given society and deals with its internal matters.

It is understandable that once you have your society, you care for its cohesion, economics and other such internal affairs.

So having clarified what "It" means for you, your earlier statement becomes:

"Everything in society is not about "want" but about harmony & want is the biggest hurdle for harmony !"

Well, I have no interest in harmony (or economic success, productivity, etc.) within a society that forces itself on everyone who just happens to be living within a given region or continent without even asking them first whether or not they wish to belong to it, whether or not they agree with its principles, even whether or not these principles are consistent with their moral/ethical values.

So as for joining you in attempting to solve your society's woes, thanks, but no thanks.

Dear Indyvidual,

I am fine and living by God's grace.

This beautiful Psalm 118 is appropriate here and summarises one's relation with God versus societies.
It is a good read, but too long to quote, so here are just verses 6-11:

"
When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord;
he brought me into a spacious place.

The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?

The Lord is with me; he is my helper.
I look in triumph on my enemies.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.

All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
"

Yuyutsu,
So, I take it you don't go to Supermarkets or drive a vehicle or use a Bank account ?
I envy your ability to not have to rely on interaction with others !

Dear Indyvidual,

«So, I take it you don't go to Supermarkets or drive a vehicle or use a Bank account ?»

Did I tell you any of that?
