Would you assistance another country is taking over your country, if you thought your country was evil, corrupt, and deadly for all humanity? Would you help another species on this planet take control of the planet if it would benefit the planet and they would be better stewards to the planet? Would you help those outside of our planet or dimension take control of this planet if you thought they were better stewards than we have proven to be?
Just something I thought about and wondered what others thought.
1. Would you assist another country taking over your country, if you thought your country was evil, corrupt, and deadly for all humanity?
It's a very tempting prospect, but my answer to that would be a plain "No."
Usually, it's just another tyranny replacing the one that was making its exit.

In Aesop's fable, he points out that turncoats would be perceived as fickle and treacherous.
“I shall now with less scruple take your life, because you are willing to save it at the cost of betraying your friends and relations.”
Speaking from personal experience: you can still hate your country while never letting yourself forget it, but still end up serving its best interests which leaders have neglected. That's one way to get back at the system, by doing what they ought to be doing.
I've sought out and befriended several Americans who could qualify for the presidency, but I doubt that they'd be up for the task or even want it, their prospect of gaining the public's approval seems unlikely. Who are we kidding, we all know that the two party system is rigged, the ordinary citizen would stand no chance if they went through the election process.
So either something big needs to happen for things to change or someone will have to step up and save the nation at the last minute.

2. Would you help another species on this planet take control of the planet if it would benefit the planet and they would be better stewards to the planet?
Now here, on the other hand, I would answer "Yes". Although every species has a right to self-defense, but often I find that I belong to another species.
3. Would you help those outside of our planet or dimension take control of this planet if you thought they were better stewards than we have proven to be?
Again, I would answer with a resounding "Yes", but with some reservations. They'd have to prove that they really are who they say, that they're higher beings.

Here are two noteworthy dreams which mention orcas becoming an apex predator, one of them also features an alien invasion: https://old.reddit.com/r/Dreams/comments...felt_like/ - https://old.reddit.com/r/Dreams/comments...p_shaking/
"Orcas evolved hyper intelligence and are constantly fighting the humans, they have bridged the gap between land and sea so they can move back and forth from both at ease."
"Apparently, all the oceans on earth had dried up and whales had evolved to walk on land and became apex predators."
Now this is no cause to take up arms against orcas. The playful orcas of today never harm humans, they are just doing something about the harm caused by boat rudders.
But the fact is, Nature never makes great jumps. Human beings could've only further developed their faculties in a ridiculously short amount of time with the help of higher beings.
But we are still fundamentally apes. In one of Frans De Waal's books, I came across a strangely fascinating anecdote about trained apes, which just happens to match one of Aesop's observations. https://www.litscape.com/author/Aesop/Th...nkeys.html
