We study them scientifically, and find their weakness
Obviously not letting the hippies know
Keep them all hostage, underground where experiments take place

We hold them as hostages. I don't think it would work but it would be the only chance of surviving. We let them go, they kill us all. We kill them, they kill is all. We keep them as hostages, the will probably kill us all.

That said, this hypothetical situation is ridiculous. Aliens that have had the technology to travel between solar systems for some time (I'm guessing this isn't the first thing they did after getting spaceships) will be so far ahead of us that enslavement (let alone resistance) would be futile. What could we do that they can't? At that point they don't even need manual labor.

Disregarding this, how would we fight them? This would be like the entire american army (with satellite suport) invading ancient rome or even cavemen. Best case scenario, we stand about as much chance against them as we would against Daleks.
Just because they have research into advanced transport doesn't mean they're going to greatly outnumber us nor does it mean that they will have more advanced weaponry.
So it is still a logical hypothetical situation

Wouldn't happen, sorry. If an alien species came in to take our planet we could do little to nothing to stop them. think more like "the day the earth stood still" and less like "war of the worlds". The distances to the nearest stars let alone habitable planet would mean they could very well be thousands or hundred of thousands of years ahead of us technologically. We would be wiped out with little effort on their parts should they choose to.

If this is a "what would happen if..."-scenario then I think we humans would avenge our fallen.

The premise is based on hostile aliens invading - a human story. We always tell these stories as "invasions" from "outer space," but inevitably use them to re-tell our own history of invasions and conflicts.

So I think It would not matter if the remaining aliens were hatchings and not soldiers. The human species exterminate enemies as a general rule.

If a hostile species ever invaded, they would release bio-toxins and engineered micro-organism from orbit designed to break us. These manufactured deceases and habitat-shaping chemicals would erase our ability to defend ourselves.
There would be no Hollywood-ending. There would not even be a recognisable human narrative to re-shape and fit into 90 minutes.

The more practical side of me wants to say execute them. Can even kind of justify it since they were apparently fine with coming over there to take our world and enslave us. They're all scum anyway.

I'd say imprison them though. Don't feel comfortable with the idea of sentencing people to death if we can just imprison them. Do, however, get all the information you can out of them.
Imprison them where? (we're talking several hundred thousands still) Including children?
I don't see how children would be a part of an alien invasion force.

At first they live in ghettos and are treated like second-class citizens; they deal with a lot of shit but over time they gain more and more rights, until eventually they are treated like everyone else, mingling into society comfortably.

And then their mothership comes and kills us all.

Torture them for information and then execute them. Is it an asshole thing to do? Yes but this is the survival of the human race we are talking about.
Us or them. They were ok with us all being killed or put to slavery, as far as I'm concerned, this really isn't worse.
They struck first. We should do everything in our power to survive. They have not earned any courtesy from us.

I say forgive them and try to integrate them into our culture, it sounds rather silly and myabe too optimistic but let's remember that what they did is not much different from what humans have done in the past the prime example being the USA of course, I mean do you think the English colonists should have been exterminated because they came to America and committed genocide to the cultures living there so they could take over?
I mean a lot of the trouble that was caused because of that has been healing over time and is finally changing for the better so I think the aliens could be integrated too.

i don't think this would happen. they have mastered interstellar travel, they would so kick our asses. and even IF we could topple whoever is left to occupy us and even IF we made it they could never have earth because we would keep fighting, they will just come back with one tiny ship and destroy the planet or poison the atmosphere or whatever. WE could easily destroy our planet and if they have spaceships and are in the business of enslaving people they would be at least as good at that as we are

Forgive all of them them, grant them safe living on earth in exchange for a combination of our knowledge and theirs, teach them that we think imperialism is fundementally wrong and in a couple of decades, bounce out to space together!

Er, the humans didn't do much of anything to stop the invaders in "War of the Worlds" (ok, the British destroyed one or two tripods, but were being utterly defeated[footnote]Human artillery was effective against them, but apparently at that time, British artillery was lagging behind the other European powers[/footnote]).

But otherwise, yeah. You don't need to have flashy tech, though, if you are in orbit, there's not much current militaries can do about you at the best of times...a little, but not much.

...

Under such circumstances, the Geneva conventions would be ignored/forgotten, massive slaughter of alien warriors, alien civilians, alien kids, human collaborators, human collaborators' families, various randoms you could pretend were collaborators et al.

If we're going to go the Ender's Game route, then we're going to take the fight to them and launch a WMD at their home world. If we're going the Mass Effect route, we'll be welcomed into the intergalactic fraternity of intelligent alien life, and subsequently be forced to grudgingly let the captives go as part of peace negotiations. If we go with the Halo/Robotech route, we'll scavenge their technology, advance our own tech by decades, and take the fight to them (again) in an arms race over yet another alien race's even superior tech.

In answer to your scenario, though, I think we're fairly justified in killing them. The survivors would no doubt attempt to make contact with their main forces again, even if we manage to scavenge their tech and use it against them we'd still by outnumbered and outmaneuvered so soon after we liberated ourselves. Our best bet of survival afterwards would be to either mass relocate to another habitable planet, prepare countermeasures for the ensuing re-invasion to come (constructing defenses, mass militarization of the survivors, etc.), or to try to make contact with other systems they've conquered and foster the resistance even further.

And to all those in favor of adopting the survivors into our population, remember: They've had no qualms about killing us earlier. Assuming this was a first contact scenario where they opened with hostilities as soon as they landed on Earth, then we can conclude that they were either after our resources or land for expanding their population centers. Since they went straight to the mass murder and enslavement, this wouldn't be a simple regime change where citizens were left mostly alone and world governments just had to pay tribute to them. This was xenocide. Hell, probably the only reason we would even be left alive as slaves would be to act as cheap labor while they made us mine for rare minerals or as guinea pigs for genetic experiments.

Huh i guess im the only that thought this is a ME3 spoiler thread and i shouldnt click 2 seconds after i did.

OT now: kill one in a hundred to make an example, make a large part of the rest slaves to rebuilt the stuff they blew up and torture/interogate a select few (officers, scientists whatever ) for a potential technological advantage. Also experimentation for biological/chemical weapons in order to retaliate againts their homeworld and defend ourselves in case of a second attack.

If we treat it like the American Revolution we might be able to co-exist in harmony. However, if they have dalek principle, I'd suggest some kind of Alien Holocaust.

given how humans are i think its much more likely that we will some day be an invading force on an alien world, manifest destiny, reservations, all to civilize them, for their own good, trading trinkets for gold, etc.... So what will they do w/the surviving humans after they push us off their planet?

Assuming we as the human race won't repeat our sinister nature (genocide, slavery or show prejudice toward them) could we either let them leave Earth peacefully or co-exist with them?
Yes I know if they view Earth is their home but surely we know the tech to build a spaceship? If they still want to stay on Earth then they have to prove their loyality toward those whose live on it (us human). I'm not saying we should brainwash them, more like if want to stay then they will have to fight with us in the next possible invasion and change their nationality into "Earth [insert alien race]".
Sure this won't be easy but the first step is to live and forget and to trust each other without doubt in our heart and mind.

Kill them all. If there are scientists or engineers among them then interrogate/torture them until we have enough information to properly defend ourselves and then we rebuild.

After we rebuild we use what we've learned from the alien tech to build ships armed with tens of thousands of nukes each and each able to fire a volley of hundreds of not thousands of them. Then we visit their homeworld and since we are not there to conquer but to annihilate we cover the surface of their world un nukes and then move on to their colonies.

Treat them as POW's. Its the only reasonable thing to do. If we condemn them as monsters for their militaries actions and kill them, we become no better than those we condemn. Start military with camps for BOTH groups safeties since there will be plenty of bad blood and if sending them hoe is not an option, work on integrating them into society. As with all free thinking peoples, there will be some who disagreed with invasion who will strive to mend bridges. This could bring unprecedented advancement both in galactic standings and technological prowess. Plus with so many dead extra hands will be sorely needed.
