Is spot on, throughout the entirety of our recorded history we have been taking stuff that didn’t belong to us and destroying the culture, land and lives of the conquered. This is why so many humans fear any extraterrestrial species, we assume they are like us and just want to conquer.

Destroying the indigenous culture has been what we do, I blame the destruction of Alexandria for the stupid ancient aliens theory.
