We are at war with the Galaxy, and all of its denizens. We were welcomed to the galactic stage with open arms. As any guest should, we respected the laws of hospitality. When they first saw us, the aliens proclaimed us magnificent, beautiful, and the most graceful species to ever live. We were flattered and tried to complement them in return.
We got along well, we thought. We found them to be about equivalent in all regards to society. Except for one. Slavery was never abolished in any of the other societies. Only humans had declared the practice barbaric and crude. We immediately started to push for the abolition of slavery. We were diplomatic and understood it will take a while for all the slaves to be freed, and the movement to gain any traction. We first had to make a name for ourselves.
Then we found out a darker truth. Their slave were not for manual labor, no. They were for pleasure. This disgusted us. We became adamant about this. We made it one of our core doctrines in diplomacy. We would not trade until the slaves were free. We set up an organization, the UGR, or Underground Railroad. Its purpose was to free slaves, get them set up for success, and push for the abolishment of slavery. They also acted as investigators so we could get an accurate picture of the logistics of the operation. And they discovered an awful fact.
Humans. Humans had been taken as slaves for pleasure. We all but exploded with rage. But cooler heads prevailed. We wrote a document, the Undeniable Rights of Sapients. We told the Galactic Senate that this document will be put in place, or all humans will leave the galactic stage forevermore. With our piece said, we left, hoping to leave an impact.
And then the news came. Children. Children. Our Children had been taken as slaves. Not as manual labor, as is the norm for humans in the past, but as pleasure slaves. With this, there is no other course but war. A War more Total and more devastating than any they had seen before. In our ignorance, no, in our arrogance, we thought our days of war are over. But they had just been a warmup. This, this will be a Death War. Only one side will come out on top. And we are f u r i o u s.
We thought that by being kind, considerate, and respectful there would be peace. No more war. No more suffering. But this made the aliens think us as weak. they do not look at our past because they think us pacifists. But we are not. They evolved at the top of the food chain. Every. Single. Other. Species. Struggle is not inherent in their species, in their DNA. Humans fought, killed, and endured until we were the top of the food chain. It is time to show them that the lack of desire to fight was not because of laziness or weakness, but knowledge of the consequences of what will happen if a war consumed an entire species. Our ghosts, our past traumas and atrocities shaped us. Molded us. We are made for war. We got so good at it that we stopped. Because if we war as we did in the past, there will be no more humans. I say we turn the engines of war back on. Let them tremble as humanity awakens. They hurt us, abused us, and we will repay this A MILLION TIMES OVER!!
I ask you, my brothers and sisters, my cousins, aunts, uncles, and more. Do you support us? Do you support the war for humanity's freedom? Because if you do, then We. Will. March.
