In the near future , Aliens landed and demanded the unconditional surrender of all the governments of earth. If a Government that was crazy enough to refuse their terms, let say North Korea, had its captial city blasted to hell as a show of force by the aliens and that causes the rest of world's countries to fall inline and accept the aliens terms.
We humans become a servant race of our new aliens masters and are treated in a similar way as the natives of central and south americas were treated by the "Old World" invaders centuries ago. We are exploited as cheap labour. We are expected to follow the political/social philosophy of the aliens so that we can be more easliy controled like the way the conquistadors used religion to control the natives of the new world centuries ago.
Humans are sent to the aliens homeworld and other aliens colonies to work as indentured servants. We learn new technologies and become the labour force and some even become technicians on aliens engineering projects. We are not treated at all like slaves but more like a race of so called "simple minded servants". Our lives don't carry the same value as the aliens. The Aliens masters are at the top. Humans and other conquered ailens are below them in the political/social order.
What would you do ?
Will you form a resistance group on earth and resist the aliens in the best way you can.
Will you accept alien rule and be an obediant citizen and hope you will not be drafted into the labour force that will be sent to other planets like the way slaves were sent to overseas plantations in earth's past.
Will you volunteer for out of earth deployments so that you can see the galaxy.
Will you even actively collaborate ,accepting the fact that the humans can never win their freedom from the extremely powerful aliens.
As for me i will volunteer for deployment on the alien home planet and learn about their technology and their culture. Then after many years of service, i will try to get back to earth and help humans in the best way that i can.
The reason i started this thread is because i have been reading about how the people of occupied europe coped under nazi rule during WWII. Some resisted the nazis, some joined the nazis but most passively compiled with the nazis.
I dare say if i was a frenchman or a norwegian living in occupied europe at that time , and the nazis were recruiting non german men into the SS, which they did in real life, i would have seriously given it some thoughts about joining up, considering the bleak economic situation europe was in during the war.
