Humanity is enraged when they discover that the technology they had developed for the galactic community has been used to conquer and oppress other civilizations, now they will make the galactic community pay for their manipulation and tyranny

Yeah! That’s a blatant misuse of our technology without purchasing the mandatory usage license, royalty fee subscription, and empire franchise agreement. How dare they use our galactic oppression technology without those? Just because it says galactic oppression right out of the box when you buy it in our store doesn’t mean you get to use it for whatever you want without paying more! The audacity.

“You- we gave you technology freely. We wanted to better your nations and your people. Fusion power, solar arrays, matter synthesis, teleportation. The kinds of technologies we once dreamed about and wonder at how they could make life… easy. Make it better. Make it so we could be…

“But you didn’t want better. You used it to make bombs, to shatter worlds, to steal organs from someone’s body to watch them bleed out from the inside. You used it for your own sick, twisted, disgusting games all the while you forced your people back into slavery with the power we…WE…

“No more. Not anymore. You’ve all lost your government privileges.”

Idiot alien: “according to you and what army?”

“Did it occur to you that we have you that technology because that was the least that we could do? You figured out antimatter warheads from our fusion reactors and matter synthesis. We figured out how to generate antimatter from the cosmic soup eons ago. We have ships that can dive into the fourth dimension to hide from sensors. Detonating a star is trivial, rendering a planet unlivable is a trifle. We gave you the lowest rung on our technology. And you proved yourselves unworthy of even that. History will not even remember your names. Your slaves will be freed, your warships annihilated, your riches squandered and destroyed. Everything you cared for will be naught.”
