    Hey now that’s not fair.

    We have a globally recognized national pastime that defines who we are as a people really well.

    We lead the developed world in mass shootings.

    No one lets their kids shoot their other kids as they gawk and do nothing (except make ad revenue off the coverage) like us Americans. pew pew pew Murica pew pew. 🇺🇸

    This is probably the number one reason I’d be giddy about it.

    Our species desperately needs to learn some humility. We’re literally destroying our only habitat out of blind arrogance and greed.

    If they didn’t come in peace. We’re boned, and everyone’s problems are over.

    If they did, at some point they’re still going to need to use corrective action on our arrogant monkey asses.

    Because all human history.

    As an adult, it’s the biggest plothole in Trek to me. Species so far ahead of us taking our lead only a couple hundred years after we took a break bombing each other and managed to cobble together a single, shitty warp drive a Vulcan toddler could probably improve the design of at a casual glance. If there was a consortium of species, at our stage we’d correctly need to beg to get provisional Jr. membership after 1,000 years of probationary observation.

    They really shouldn’t take us until our species agrees to stop letting people starve while others grow obese just to get the fat sucked out of them to do it again.
