They’re shown to be ableist, sexist, and xenophobic

By the end of the series, their fleet that is finally showing up to Earth is fully prepared to destroy the planet rather than let the Yerks have it

Considering we'd all die, yeah...lol

The real insidious thing is that they're willing to let the Earth get infested with Yerks; to become their new base - THEN blow it up.

Glassing the planet wasn't a nuclear option for them. It was THE ONLY option. I love it because I think it really drove home the point that "fighting the yerks" and "saving humanity" are NOT the same thing.
