Almost every star has a planetary system or at least asteroid rings. There are 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone. If any civilization has mastered FTL travel, there is literally unlimited free real estate everywhere and thus no need for wars. Simply hop to another star system.
ITT: people sitting in their comfortable first world environment commenting using electronics which were certainly mined somewhere, convinced they’re oppressed and not the root cause.
This one really gives further weight to this comment from another thread, intelligence wasn’t supposed to evolve here because the planet’s dangerous and we are also fucking mad
Oh this is basically the plot to the Damned Trilogy. Awesome Sci fi, highly recommend. It’s a bit hard to read at first because it’s often also from the perspectives of the aliens
If we ever found intelligent aliens, some of us would absolutely try to convert them to christianity, and there are already plans to exploit planetoids for their resources. We are the alien invaders, sans space travel.
But the aliens wouldn’t share the resources with us, or maybe like just a pittance to keep us alive so we could be used as cheap lab… oh I see where this is going.
