    I still can believe the world to rally together when it means to kill something.

    The enemy must be simple though. Too complicated or invisible or something and the conspiracy nuts will take over.

      You wouldn’t be able to see the aliens. The best you would be able to do is get blurry pictures of their ships from telescopes if you’re lucky. Conspiracy nuts would do fine.

        Any civilization able to get to us, would be advanced enough that a carrier task group bombing the uncontacted people of the north sentinel islands would be a fair fight in comparison.
        We would see a blur in our telescopes followed by death or whatever they want to do to us.

          You’re absolutely right. I was describing the hypothetical scenario where the aliens just want to fuck with us by blowing up the sun or something. If they wanted us dead it would be lights out before we know they were there.

            Poor aliens just think our ass is the mouth. Where they come from bipeds are assmouth to assface

      I thought the same thing. I could see the world banding (mostly) together for a fight, but not to just make life better.
