Aliens exist… and we didn’t give a fuck?
Aliens, those mysterious creatures hiding in the vastness of the universe. The endless fuel for the first generations of modern conspiracy theorists, the same ones who have devoted their entire lives to proving their existence and exposing the efforts governments have made to keep them hidden from us.
Today, thanks to Obama, someone is crying tears of joy in their basement, wiping them away while staring at the sky (the damp ceiling) and shouting, “I KNEEW IT!!” waving their arms and clenching their fists with both jubilation and rage at the same time.
Aliens exist, of course; in fact, we didn’t need a certain former president of a certain country to confirm it. Actually, a certain government agency from a certain country confirmed it about a year ago, pairing the news with a video of an alien corpse that curiously looked a lot like how they’ve been portrayed in movies and TV over the past century.
One way or another, most of us (those interested in the topic) have always believed there’s life out there. Still, I can’t help but think that news like this would have OBLITERATED our sense of normalcy 20 years ago.
People running through the streets screaming that aliens exist, others claiming the end is near, some panicking and fleeing from one city to another only to realize that to escape aliens they’d need spaceships; robberies, crashes at every corner—the kind of reaction society almost had long ago when they first heard War of the Worlds on the radio, except this time the panic would have been REAL.
The funniest part is that they’ve confirmed aliens exist twice now, and both times we didn’t give a shit.
And you know what? I’m glad. Because with all the garbage that’s been revealed about the elite (eww) and those in power over the past few months, whether aliens exist or not honestly feels irrelevant. Unfortunately, we have more important things to think about, more unpleasant things to point at and more dangerous beings to bring to justice.
Yes, it’s shocking that after so long it’s been confirmed there’s life out there, but this news reeks of an obvious smokescreen so we all look the other way and get distracted from what really matters (no shit).
I don’t usually write posts sharing opinions about politics because the topic is exhausting, but I can’t ignore the fact that the existence of aliens is being used as a political weapon. It’s simply ridiculous, and this level of circus is laughable beyond words. It’s incredible that “that person”1 is president of “that country” and nobody has done anything about it yet.
But back to the point. Thanks for confirming it—still, we haven’t forgotten everything else. Too bad it’s not 2006, because this would have been a real bomb; I think about all the fun that was taken from us by not confirming it earlier and it makes me sad.
Aliens might be out there roaming around planet Earth, but predators are breathing the same air we do, eating babies and destroying the planet from within, while many of us spend hours on public transport thinking about how to survive and feeling the anxiety of holding onto a job, without time to rest or check on our loved ones. What a joke, right?
Honestly, let the aliens come—maybe they can help us end this nightmare once and for all.
