I'm not saying this is what has happened but if an alien race wanted to take over a planet like Earth, providing Humanity with a technology they are not mentally capable of using responsibly would seem to be a good approach.
The technology to which I am referring is of course the cell phone. Something that provides access to all knowledge known to a particular species (Mankind in this case) sounds like a good idea. Instead of having to struggle through the same mistakes of their predecessors, humans could avoid those pitfalls and leap to new heights socially, mentally and maybe even emotionally. This however does not seem to have been the case for a majority of people on Earth.
Since the introduction of cell phones, people seem to be losing their ability to think critically. Just look at the fact that there is an argument as to what constitutes a woman. What should be one of the most basic of facts is being disputed widely in America and is serving as an indicator as to how Humanity has lost its collective mind. Given the argument about what is a woman put forrg by some, we should be able to shave a Cheetahs legs, put it in a dress and heels, apply makeup and call it a woman. We could then enter her in a women's track meet and give her the gold, silver and bronze as she laps all competitors.
If I were an alien race bent of conquering Earth, I would first soften it up by tossing cell phone technology into the mix. I would then watch as the masses become more atomized and distrusting of one another and then I would wait for them to turn against one another as they further develop nuclear technology, deadly chemicals, toxic environments and many of the ways with which to destroy themselves. If they didn't completely destroy themselves, they will have at least reduced their numbers to Earth's "carrying capacity" so we could pounce.
By the time of our initial attack, most humans would have lost their ability to grow food or feed themselves, make clothes, build shelters, clean their water supplies or do any of the things necessary for survival. Oh, sure, they'll know how to order Uber eats or Grub hub. They will know how to rent or buy a house in Zillow or buy bottled water from Walgreens. None of this will matter by the time we make our presence known however, because none of these services or stores will even exist. Uber eats and Grub hub will have failed because no one could afford them. No one will be buying homes in the future because no one has any money. Walgreens will have shuttered most if not all if it's brick and mortar stores due to rampant theft.
In the end, there would be no resistance to our arrival, because Earths inhabitants will be so divided and so confused as to what a Human even is that we could be reptiles dressed as women and they would have to acknowledge our pronouns as she and her.
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
