If I ever did come across such beings, I think I would help them along but ultimately leave it up to them to decide. I'm not in the business of subjugating other conscious beings, but I'm open to helping them and giving ideas to them. It would be their choice to come along or even participate in any of this.

I think mostly the same way, except if someone or something crosses one of my red lines, I will take a decisive measure. I want to be kind but not squishy.
