They forgot the whole genocide thing which is kinda necessary for this to work out
- This is why we colonise space, at least the planets without aliens living there.
  
  Almost every colony ever: gets oppressed and exploited, fights for independence, gains sovereignty, becomes either a tense ally or a hostile rival to their former empire
  Earthlings: "maybe we should colonize space"
  
  Seriously? Most of the world today are colonies of the rich parts. We just don't say it that way.
  
  Have fun up there i guess
  
  So you want to send those undesireable people somewhere else? Maybe to conserve your way of living?
  
  If by undesirable you mean I desire instead to keep living, and by conserve my way of living you mean I just get to continue breathing - then yes. They try to kill me, there's no moral limit on what I can rightfully do in return if they don't succeed. Including rocket them off to planet conservative before they get another shot.
- Also the whole industrialization, privatization, and rise of capitalism thing in Europe that led to successive waves of emigrants leaving or being coerced from their homelands. I think in general people don’t leave their communities and families without some kind of direct or indirect violence.
- Also homesteads weren't exactly a great place to be. No infrastructure and tornado heaven. People lived there because it was their only choice.
- I mean if it would've been empty land it could've worked likes this. I don't think genocide is a necessary part of it
