Wasn't there a copypasta about someone born in the 88 and having it in the username, being called a nazi and being sad about it?

The punchline is that the username in question is GasTheJews88.

There is also a huge emphasis on military worship in fascist societies, sometimes even trying to make civilians dress and act like the military does. Which, once again, confederates didn't do.

Why would an alien civilization colonize us for anything other than natural resources?

Space is full of mineral resources, going to a random planet with a relatively high gravity well just for some rocks would be counter productive. And an advanced civilization would probably use a lot of automation for resource extraction.

And there are several examples where humans weren't treated well in a resource extraction economy. Sugarcane plantations in the Caribbean were where slaves went to die.

That part is true. But the question is what could the aliens get from us that couldn't be made for cheaper closer to their planet?

No, none that I know of.

A civilization capable of interstellar imperialism* would be focused on long-term exploitation of less primitive societies, so they would probably manage us better than the current elites do. A more educated, healthy worker is simply more productive than the alternative, especially in the long term.

I did a similar one a few months back too.

That brings some memories.

When the referendum for Lithuania's joining of EU started, the attendance was abysmal.

It picked up when a supermarket chain offered to exchange the "I voted" sticker for a bottle of beer, a chocolate bar or a small bag of laundry powder.
