To put it simply: the world gets fucked up if only a small handful of people matter/have any power and the rest have none. This happens on various levels, it's not just "oh that's not fair and also all puppies should be happy". This stuff has real consequences that you and I and everyone will be influenced by.

There's a warning in each and everyone of them, you of course can not care or think it will all just be ok, but they're still warning regardless.
