Just quoting a neg rep so I can reply to it.

Actually Meruem said that he wanted to create a world so fair that inequality will be forgotten, and that he thought that power should be used to protect the weak. Then he asked for an open discussion. Then Netero had the flashback of bigwigs giving him the order to exterminate the ants, no matter how and what. Netero agreed, but noted that the Hunter association is being used. Right after the flashback, Netero even said that he should hurry and fight before he is swayed. He then proceeded to attack the king who was sitting down...

Why would Netero fear being swayed if he thought Meruem would surely do as you say?

It is as if you only remembered the first part of their conversation (there are a few humans worth keeping, like Komugi and Netero), and not the rest of what Meruem said.
