It has all the rights to do so

Fr tho, earth survived getting hit by an object HALF her sized and like 2 extinction events before humanity came, it can take a beating and would still leave unscathed

​@@hans_alfredschannel9982you sure it was two? What I remembered from school it was like 9

*checked it was 5 not 9 or 2😅

Onion ninja's are very stealthy. I believe they have shield attenuators because they made it past mine aswell. :)

If there are enough to restart civilization and terraform earth, at minimum a few hundred.

I can understand th, they cant bear to live in a galaxy full of oppression, its just like us modern people having to live in the dark ages, we cant stomach it, except the other side has more guns.

Me too!

Voice AI read it.

@@jamesmontgomery9680 aye, but this creator is clearly putting work into it. Its getting better and better every day.

Here is the authors playlist with some other works by them: u/MachDhai: ru-vid.com/group/PLkBGMBYRr0mEIdFl8A4JNze4jzn_cNOlQ

Takes that long to change mindsets and dissolve the status quo

I see the framework to explain it actually in the whole "they'll be bankrupt soon enough" at the start. I could easily see a system where they'd have been screwed by the legal and economic systems (even if they played on isolationism) in any longer of a time-frame.

In answer to the original question, it seems the author believes that humanity can and will internalize the teaching of Detrich Bonnhoffer: "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us blameless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act." Humanity, having internalized that simple moral principle, could not have remained silent on the subject of the Council's enslavement of "lesser" species without incurring an unacceptable level of culpability for the injustice they had witnessed. So they acted with what they had to end what they could no longer meekly tolerate.

"Because it had to be done, and someone had to do it with all haste." -Some human probably

@@magicturtleult1481except that it’s hard to see how that would happen given that humanity is depicted as more technologically advanced and innovative, versus the council’s stagnation.

America came to the party too late for a real empire, still a young country and you guys used to be laughed at by real countries for a long time. So it was near enough impossible for the US to create an empire right up until it was completely unacceptable.

Right! The idea that humanity would just collectively agree to sacrifice itself? Kind of dumb

Not sure i would agree that teaching and allowing antisemitism is diversity

And there it is, another clueless conservative. The reason for you 24hr 7 days a week hate filled media, is that your side is losing. You beat the drums of war for no one but yourselves.

How so? You mean people there have relatives bombed and cut off from food and water as a result of certain events and they are supposed to say nothing? These aren't the days when only WASPs entered Ivies. What is the plan the people responsible have for the civilians given many of their homes have been destroyed? Surely a population that is nearly half children too young to have voted the current government has civilians, or is it just more convenient to say there are no civilians?

No it is known that humans have done messed up things, in part 1&2 the diplomat says that just 300 years ago humanity still had slavery. And that they had found how abhorrent it was. That no sentence race should have to endure it and why we brought ourselves to the edge of extinction to end the practice.

Hibiscus, are you smoothed brain? Listen to Part 1 and 2 before your unhinged looney views get spouted out

Assuming everyone is evil is really dangerous. Nothing is more dangerous than someone who truly means it when they honestly hate slavery. Think John Brown or Harriet Tubman. If you think the latter just helped hide slaves, you don't know how dangerous she was to slavers.

The stories here are feel good stories where the humans are the good ones or the rightful ones (and I'm here for that), you will probably find elsewhere more realistic stories taking account of our dark sides.
