    What if humans are famous galaxy-wide as one of the most brutal species on record and we’ve been under an age old quarantine so total and extensive that if we learned even a fraction of the details it would make our heads spin

        In that case I hope someone pulls a Sentinel island on their goofy ass, the quarantine authorities are 100% correct, humans at this level of development cannot escape the earth

        lmao imagine this virulent strain of capitalism rampaging across the stars, fuck that nightmare

          it’d explain all those scifi stories in which every other sentient alien species is better at stuff than us but we nevertheless win the war. it’s cos nobody’s as relentlessly and institutionally brutal as we are.
