I think it's a tribal reactive feeling of "my people need to live". Remember that conservatives are more fear driven.
This. The honest answer is some degree of "We've been generous, but they will kill us once they outnumber us."
Inb4 literal centuries of literature, film, games, etc. in which the primary theme is "we were the real 'savages' all along"
Yeah but "my people" is humanity. That's the difference.
Yes, you and I feel that way. Actually there's a neat test of values. Ask people to rank the following in terms of personal importance, what do they value the most, to the least?
world / country / state / town / friends / family
Or any slight variation of the above. I would put country in last place, for sure. What about you? Many people would put the world last.
Frankly I put state last.
Yeah those Marsians can fuck right off back to their home!!1!one
