If aliens landed, would you be an insurgent?
Discussion
OK, say the aliens have landed in the UK. They immediately dismiss the police, army and government.
then you realise they arent here to save us from the labour government, but they want control, and whilst they are here they are going to make us taxpayers pay for it.
The aliens have never been abroad before but have only seen hollywood films written by people who hate humans, so they come with their ignorance and hatred.
Within days the unemployed are fighting the aliens with anything they can find, they are hungry as they are unable to collect their benefits. Once they realise the aliens are pretty hard they start robbing their fellow humans who are at work.
Within weeks most businesses have shut down or have no market to sell to, the people with the most to lose and who can muster some cash have fled to france. Yet some old money boys are getting together and smuggling weapons in from Israel, they are slowly recruiting people to fight back at the aliens, numbers are small because there arent many free people left who are of an age where they can fight
- although there isnt a gun or any ammo for them if they were able to fight.
those that do have young children so they mustnt be foolish and get themselves killed, the missus would go apes
t... so they make use of our potholes and fill them with explosives.
How long would you be out of work before you accepted payment and fought against the aliens?
Or would you have already been standing up to be counted when they were dropping bombs on us before they got to earth?
Actually, for PH sake, Ill call these aliens Heroes....

lol they are mostly pinky grey, and the woman walk around naked, might sound nice - but most are obese or over wrinkly age, also you notice they struggle with personal hygiene.
You certainly wouldnt want to go there, however your wife mum sister and auntie are happy to go with the alien men - maybe its for the favours they get

You couldn't walk down the street with a camera (which might look like an RPG) or you'd get a good lazering from above by their death rays.
Then expert teenagers on the internet would debate whether you were asking for it, as "war's like that" and they know because they've been there . . . etc.
I wouldn't fight them, If they could come here from another planet, they'd probably have some big ass weapons. And spiffy defences that could withstand our improvised explosive pothole devices.

That's a startlingly poor analogy for the Iraq / Afghan wars.
You see, first we'd need to have murdered thousands of these alien civilians in the worst peace time attack the aliens had ever seen. The attack would need to be wholly unprovoked.
Then we'd need to ignore the aliens attempt at a peaceful resolution by handing over those responsible for said murderous terrorism.
The aliens would then need to go to the united federation of planets which would roundly condemn us for the attack and subsequent failure to hand over those responsible. Our political leaders would have to refuse to stand down. Oh, and our leaders would have to have murdered us by the thousands for decades in advance.
Even during the occupation, the leading cause of death amongst us would have to be other humans, rather than these aliens. Aliens whom were actually only trying to free us from our tyranical leaders and terrorist groups running the country - saving countless humans in the process.
We'd also need to have been blowing ourseleves up on another group of aliens planet for generations too, despite all reasoned attempts to stop us. Remarkably these aliens would have resisted the urge to destroy us once and for all despite their obvious capability to do so.
Then, after all that, your analogy would start to make sense.
A little more time in the real world rather than school / the mosque would enlighten you significantly.

some thinly disguised crap
OK. Lets have another go. You live in a land where you are completely oppressed. You have no democratic rights, and your standard of living is poor. Your government uses the considerable natural resources of your country to wage war on your neighbours, instead of seeking to boost the wellbeing of its people. Opposition is rigourously suppressed - to the extent that your neighbours to the north are horribly massacred using chemical weapons for daring to defy the government. Food is scare, especially in those regaions most vociforous against the govt. You live in fear of being conscripted into the army as you know that this could well lead to your death as your govt persists in attacking neighboring countries.
Millions have died, and it is rumoured that your government is planning a massive strike that will involve a weapon that could kill millions in one blow.
You appeal for help, and your relatives living in other countries bring your and your fellow countrymens plight to the attention of their own respective governments.
Friendly aliens hear your cries for help and decide to help you by overthrowing your government and seaking to allow democracy to flourish.
The fighting is brutal, as the supporters of your govt are desperate to hold onto their positions of power and influence.
Mistakes are made, and many innocent lives are lost, but the govt is overthrown for you.
Will you be a whingeing ungrateful b
d now that you've got what you want, or will you try to rebuild your country? (and would you like alien assistance in that rebuilding process?) See what I did there?
Yes - my version is pants too

Why on earth did they carry out the attacks then? America had done nothing that might upset them at all?You see, first we'd need to have murdered thousands of these alien civilians in the worst peace time attack the aliens had ever seen. The attack would need to be wholly unprovoked.
