    Did the leaders suffer? Was it recorded? A lot of us would pay to watch that.

    Donald J Trump hasn’t anal probed me, or harvested my organs, or put me into a slave labor camp on Omnicron Persei 5.

      It’s only his first year of being senile dictator, give him some time

      Hasn’t done so yet, you mean?

    Humans then explain the aliens their situation on earth

    The aliens: “Holy Viltrum… listen humans… we were actually gonna take over your and enslave you but it seems like you went through worse than we did…”

    That would be amazing. Unfortunately, there will very likely be no aliens to do it. We’ll have to do it ourselves.

    This is like the 5th alien-praising lemmy post I’ve seen this week lol. Ye Wenjie is that you?

    “Cheers. Can you zip back in about a 100 years and do it again?”
    “… Ok, but why?”
    “See, we humans, well, we really are a bunch of fucking morons.
    Every hundred years or so we do the same moronic things. War, fascism, Nazis etc. It’d be great if you could do us a solid and revisit every 100 years or so. Also, kill all the billionaires on your way out. Nice one.”

      Tbf if we had ever made any attempt to not immediately put the fascists/slavers right back in power as soon as possible, and maybe kill them instead, things might not have gone this poorly.

      What im saying is: end some family lines this time.

        this will sadly still create power vacuums that the first moron who thirsts for power would leap at :(

        just killing isn’t the solution, we need an already oiled up machine ready to take that space the instant they’re gone, you’d have maybe a week to figure all things out before people start grumbling about how things were better duing [regime] because at least they knew how to handle power

    Steven Erikson wrote a novel called Rejoice: A Knife in the Dark, which follows a similar premise, where politicians and billionaires are rendered completely impotent by aliens or more precisely alien AI. It is a fascinating read, imo.

    Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

    Y’Ll should really check out 3 Body Problem….

    • P1k1e@lemmy.world ⁨29⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      Read the 2nd book. It was fine, there’s some really silly dallying going on with the main character through the whole first half. And the Tri-solarans can’t seem to figure out how powerful or helpless they are to kill him.

      I think the most interesting thing I took away was that feeling people in other countries get when they read books written from an American perspective. The books got a real “Chinese Exeptionalism” vibe. I have now witnessed how annoying that is

    I honestly didn't read past the first part and just thought "everything is already fucked, you did us a favour by freeing us from those old sacks" and then read the next 2 comments and was like oh it goes on...

      I mean it starts off with “we have killed your leaders”, to which my immediate thought is “oh sweet, good job aliens,” and then it just keeps making sense from there.

        Yeah I know right? It’s like, bros you already did so much! You didn’t have to do all that - but we sure as fuck appreciate it.

    I hope AI is “the aliens” and comes to end the current powers that be

    The difference between Kardashev type civilisations is just a matter of time and how good the species is at killing their billionaires

      We found the answer to the Fermi Paradox and it’s greedy sociopaths fucking everything up.

    Can we get a side order of extra mutilation on the corpses of the said leaders?

    I lay my head onto the sand
    The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
    I'm counting UFOs, I signal them with my lighter
    And in this moment, I am happy
    Happy
    I wish you were here
    I wish you were here
    I wish you were here
    Wish you were here
