Rebranding conspiracy theories as conspiracy fantasies as a coping mechanism
Nobody is better off with any overlord, that’s why we’ve spent so much effort trying to invent satisfying and effective governance.
While this isn’t so serious and is genuinely a shower thought, this is the lazy “I am deluded that different = maybe better” thought process that actively ruins the world, so please put more effort into wanting the world to be something else or focus on something you can.
Being deluded that different is maybe better is literally how humanity has made all progress. You seem upset with the word “overlord.” It’s a little ridiculous but somewhat understandable given its connotations. Thankfully when our benevolent alien patrons take over, it’ll be a non-issue.
I would prefer Satan at this point. At least he’d deliver executive orders by beaming the evil thoughts directly into your head. It’d be so much better than having to read twitter or truth social.
Least Satan’s pro LGBT
At this point I’d settle for any overlord that has a realistic plan.

An alien abduction, but they just want to adopt a human pet and you get food and water and shelter and have no expectations except for to lounge around and get massages (pats).
