They abduct us and steal our cattle. Who cares about their judgment

I’m pretty sure our leaders are their pawns at least indirectly.

It is a question that cannot be answered because we do not know what kind of values or mindsets aliens might have.
Humanity itself held vastly different values and moral standards 10,000 years ago, 5,000 years ago, 2,000 years ago, 200 years ago, and today.
If even human values can change completely in just a few hundred years, how can we possibly know the values or standards of another civilization or life form that originated at least thousands of light-years away?
The op seems to assume that because aliens possess advanced technology, they must have noble values and morals (similar to the gods or angels of traditional religions) based on modern human standards. However, if aliens truly exist, it is highly likely that this is not the case.

I think they would be impressed at how good our leaders are at convincing people of lies. Other than that we wouldnt get the Mass Effect treatment
