The "Bad Gems" are simply imperial colonialists. Gems view humans in the way that humans view deer -- not even worth acknowledging. Humans will clearcut forests for farmland. Gems will just seed the planet with their Kindergartens until the land is barren and lifeless.

A thing that I've noticed is that Pearl has a very similar attitude to the Homeworld Gems. She's been on Earth for longer than recorded history but still doesn't understand local custom, doesn't care if somebody's business gets destroyed from one of her missions and talks about "you humans" in a very patronizing way. She's only there because of her loyalty to Rose.

I suspect that's where the show will go eventually. Rose's legacy is extremely frail and her remaining friends don't really seem to be taking any thoughtful steps to protecting it. They're just going through the motions.
