    You speak of absolutely when even without aliens there is a chance. People should have more hope in humanity, which i have little of(but not none!).

    Also i never said no violence, its clear there will probably be plenty. But there can be justified violence to aim for the greater good.

      How can you consider the violent oppression of people, whether you happen to agree with them or not, to be in any way benevolent?

          How are you not understanding my point? Or are you being intentionally obtuse?

            I think you’re the one miss understanding. I get your point, but i disagree with it.

              No, I am not. By definition you cannot be benevolent in any form if your method of seizing power is to murder your opposition. That’s just being a regular dictator.

                Yes yes i know thats what you said. I dont agree with that assessment or definition as you called it. I however believe getting rid of bad actors who are purposely evil and harming humanity is a good thing. So then they would still be benevolent to me.

                  So what you’re actually saying is you want a brutal and repressive dictator who murders their opposition who just happens to align politically with your views.

                  Sorry, that’s still not benevolent, it’s just a different flavour.
