So, I have read and been told this many times before. Some times I will rewatch the movie to try and see that narrative. And I'll admit, I'm and idiot. But I can't get past the idea of: Bugs are just icky, no matter the size. Remove at all costs.

Except they aren't bugs in your home, they're isolated to their own planet already.

Plus, consider the justification for the attack;

"the bugs attacked Earth first"

REALLY?

Consider the amount of maths and physics knowledge for us to get to our own moon. We have to calculate the trajectory of our own moon, the spin of the Earth, gravity, etc.

Now, in the movie, apparently the bugs bombed Earth.

FUCKING HOW. They exist outside our solar system. The level of maths for this is impossible without computers.

Not only have you got all the complications we had for a celestial body which was closest to us, but our sun has its own orbit within the milky way.

The narrative that the bugs attacked Earth first was a false flag. It was almost certainly just a meteor which couldn't be stopped, which gave someone a reason to keep the perpetual motion machine of Fascism alive.

Without a common enemy, Fascism turns inwards.

Lol alright, so earlier in the movie, Carmen is learning to fly the spaceship and has an accident where the run into the asteroid, which changes its trajectory and sends it to Earth, where it hits Buenos Aires. Carmen caused the whole thing 🤣
