Also keep in mind, mander.xyz's rules on politics
Please keep politics to a minimum. When science is the focus, intersection with politics may be tolerated as long as the discussion is constructive and science remains the focus. As a general rule, political content posted directly to the instance’s local communities is discouraged and may be removed. You can of course engage in political discussions in non-local communities.

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?
