You should check out the movie Extinction (2018).

It's really good, and along those lines. Basically there is an alien invasion, but the invaders look just like the victims, ie: human looking. That is because they are attacking FROM Mars, which is where the Humans RETREATED to while doing war with their AI offspring (current Earth inhabitants). No one on Earth at the time remembers, because the robots wipe their own memories to prevent trauma from the event. ie: The 'invaders' are the humans coming back home.

I have seen Extinction, and it was about an anomaly created by a meteorite, not some war with Martians.

This is the one I meant, it's somewhat new and I think it shares a title with older movies.

What are you suggesting here?

The sad truth is that most people want to be led by the hand and told what to do. Some of them can't even decide what to order at MacDonald's. These people don't know what to do with freedom. They are going to believe whatever they are told to believe, if it seems trendy and stylish. They are more concerned about being part of the herd than with where the herd is going.

It is my firm belief (and sincere hope), that what you describe is Learned Behavior, and not a de facto human trait. We are conditioned fairly young to acquiesce to the demands of the local tribe, which probably isn't terrible in itself, but may 'teach' the subservience you've described.
