Either they are like us and they’ll want to destroy us for not really any real reason, just like humanity has been doing for its whole existence.
Either they’re not like us, and they’d be shocked at how crazy humans are, and would want to destroy this threat of uncontrollable destruction that humanity represents.
Or, having managed to become truly space faring and capable of even reaching us, they have learnt to work together and are above such very human nonsense. Do you want to destroy your neighbour just because they exist?
So do some men, I hear. I’m not a man and I don’t want to watch the world burn and I don’t think most other humans do either. If you assume that all aliens must be destructive fucking idiots, without even knowing whether they exist, let alone the first thing about what they’re like, I think that says more about you and your view of humanity that will prevent us from ever leaving this planet.
Is there any particular reason why they’d want to destroy us? What would THEY get out of that?
