The colonial viewpoint is not universal. It is extremely shortsighted and fails to grasp the possibilities of non-human intelligences present. The colonial viewpoint is not the human experience and to exclude all non-colonial voices paints a very skewed, narrow, incomplete picture of our reality as earthlings. 

I submit that most otherworldly beings are already quite knowledgeable about the toxicity of colonialism and are instead looking for what makes us human. We should believe our eyes, while also seeing with our spirits.
