Would You Destroy The Planet?

[Communist Zombie Horde]

I say blow it up. And not even for any reason. Just blow it up because you can. Than go for a stroll across the galaxy blowing up any other planet that looks funny.

Good you should vote for me

This is thought because humans are so enamored with their own existence that most haven't actually considered the fact that horseshoe crabs are and have always been superior to any other form of life on the planet, or even the fact that said chelicerates exist.

Get out of here crab! This site ain't for arthropods.

This is the first time I've agreed with you.

And like others I would have you relieved of command

You stand on no authority to do so. You are relieved of your position for insubordination.

By what authority?

By what authority?

destroying planets for no reason and showing signs of mental instability

[The Empire of Pretantia]

destroying planets for no reason

That's not your authority, that's the alleged reason you want him relieved

Fact of the matter is he has discretion on this operation so if he says shoot, then you shoot.

I would refuse. The planet does not deserve to be blown up

You are relieved for insubordination and somebody else pushes the button. You are then discharged on other than honorable grounds. Congratulations, you played yourself

You are relieved for insubordination, reckless driving, endangerment of your entire crew, and conspiracy. You are then court martialed and imprisoned in a military prison for two life sentences.

I'm already in a black hole. How are you gonna get me out? Or do you clone me twice beforehand, then sentence those clones to life imprisonment when I crash the death star?

[The Supreme Magnificent High Swaglord]

What about the following scenario?

After news of the exterminatus of the Xenos world reaches Terra, you soon recieve an urgent message while in deep space; the message is from the Imperial Naval Command Council. The message urges you to return to Terra; the council had to cave to public opinion, and they seek to haul you before a tribunal and try you for war crimes (Never-mind that they were the ones who gave the order...). Knowing the political corruption found in the Imperial Judiciary, the committee would almost certainly be a "kangaroo court/show trial", where the guilty verdict has already been decided. Do you return to Terra for all-but-certain death? Or do you flee into space, becoming a renegade against Imperial Human Space? Or do you do something else entirely?

It's kind of hard to get it to a black hole below anyone notices so fuck that.

There's an excuse to obliterate Earth. Tell them I'm returning, then when I get close enough push the big shiny red button saying 'Do not push'.

Wew, so much for all those posts about how destroying an entire race is wrong.

Send them a message. "Kiss my a$$..." Then flee into space and destroy all that get in my way.

Further proof the aliens are all genocidal maniacs.

[The Snazzylands]

If my superiors gave me a planet-destroying weapon, it kind of implies they want me to use it. And it doesn't count as a crime against humanity if they're not even human, right?

But if it were completely up to me, I wouldn't kill them all off, just enough of them to send the bastards back to the stone age before occupying the planet.

[Hammer Britannia]

It's 2350, You're the commander of a large space fleet orbiting the Planet Kepler-186f. Earth was attacked in a surprise invasion from A Sapient Extraterrestrial Species in 2019. Nobody knows why we were invaded or even what the invaders looked like, but humanity traced them back to this planet. The damages on Earth were so bad there are entire nations that no longer exist, large ecosystems have been screwed over, but we fended them off. So, you are orbiting their planet, are armed with a powerful Death Star-like weapon, and you're given the option to fire.

In this situation, would you fire?

I personally wouldn't fire, I wouldn't have the heart knowing I committed a Genocide on a scale far worse than what they did to our planet. But what say you NSG?

IM, is that you?

I feel insulted

Well I have a massive fucking planet killing weapon. So I just travel back and play Mexican standoff with all of earth. Make me god emperor, or Ill push the big button. And if you try to shoot me down, Ill push the button anyways.

The question then becomes, which can be blown up first? Your ship, or Earth? My money's on Earth lasting longer.
