--> It is a civilization in which a band most people have never heard of could fill a planet with their audience and have them packed in as tightly as a mosh pit. It is one where the heat energy released by everyone watching a prime time TV show, if released on the Earth, would incinerate every living creature on land. Going to war with such a civilization, even if you did not have a technological edge, would not be comparable to the United States fighting a small country like Malta, it would be like the entire NATO alliance picked a fight with a single kindergartner.

* AlienNonInterferenceClause: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiAW5mg_wCc&t=203s Discussed here]]. While he at first states how this trope is respectable in principal, he deconstructs it by describing how in practice it is heartless and impractical. He considers it heartless because it forces advanced observers to watch primitive aliens die of natural disasters and diseases instead of saving them. He considers this policy impractical because it would be impossible for an egalitarian society to enforce because it would only take one person disagreeing with it to break this policy. One person, or one group of people, could take a ship to the primitive aliens and give them a TechnologyUplift and since this is a life-or-death issue some would be willing to even if it was a capitol offense in their society.
