History JustForFun / WhyYouShouldDestroyThePlanetEarth

## [[HumansAreWarriors Humans are warlike]], and it's better to [[KillEmAll kill 'em]] [[DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs before they kill you!]]

## Worse yet - because they invented [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife this site]].

## [[InYourNatureToDestroyYourselves They'll destroy themselves anyway]], so why not do it [[strike:humanely]] alienly?

## Because [[HumansAreCthulhu humanity poses a real threat]] to your [[HiddenElfVillage Hidden]] [[OurElvesAreBetter Space-Elf]] [[HiddenElfVillage Village.]]

## Humans are destroying the planet Earth's ecosystem, so [[KillAllHumans killing all humans]] will [[GreenAesop save the planet]]... [[FridgeLogic oh wait]], if you destroy the planet, it will also destroy the ecosystem. Well, at least they won't be able to spread like weeds throughout the galaxy, doing unto countless other ecosystems as they've already done to, say, certain parts of New Jersey.

## Because they'll destroy the universe with their [[Film/PlanNineFromOuterSpace stupid, stupid minds]].

## Because humans [[ScaryDogmaticAliens are an inferior race]] and their existence disturbs the [[CrystalSpiresAndTogas serenity and peace]] of your [[CantArgueWithElves wise, benevolent, and in every way more advanced culture]]. If you wait too long the humans will be [[ScrewYouElves ungrateful for being shown your obvious superiority]].

## Because [[NietzscheWannabe life is meaningless, morality a sham and love, hope and dreams are illusions of a deluded mind!]] Therefore the only worthwhile purpose left is to destroy everything and [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum put an end to the pointless suffering that is existence!]]

So you're an aspiring OmnicidalManiac, [[HowToInvadeAnAlienPlanet alien invader]], or plain old disgruntled MadScientist or EvilSorcerer and want to destroy the planet Earth, or at least KillAllHumans? Good for you! However, to avoid being a gauche GenericDoomsdayVillain, why not get yourself a proper motivation to destroy humanity from among the items on this list?

## Because your ten thousand year old empire cannot tolerate any [[{{Traveller}} other race learning the secret of interstellar travel and forming an empire of its own]].

## In fact, they [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters enslaved]] your [[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined robotic]]/[[VideoGame/StarControl genetic]] ancestors [[CreatingLife after creating them.]]

## Because [[KatamariDamacy you had too much to drink]]. Admit it, already!

## Still another human [[TheChildrenOfHurin killed seventy of your trolls and then insulted you when you interrogated him.]] They're [[HumansAreWarriors a menace!]]
